Why such a serious photo of myself?
Simply put, I always take my photography this seriously.
In reality, away from a camera, I... full of laughter and love, whether snuggling with my two boys under a pile of pillows, or scuba-diving with my wife as she warns me away from the fire coral. Such moments of love and caring inform my approach to life, and to wedding photography.
Creative. Simple. Inspired. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Photography
I have spent years perfecting my vision and craft, learning from the best visual journalists at The Dallas Morning News and the international wire service Reuters. I enjoyed telling complex human stories with photographs, whether at The Olympic games, Presidential elections, embedded in Iraq, or in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In 13 years in photojournalism, I traveled far from Dallas, Texas, to learn how small the world really is.
Please allow me to capture your family's moments of spontaneous joy on your special day.Read More

...my listing here has been invaluable. I've been contacted by a publisher to use my images in a book that will be sold in major bookstores, and by a journalism student who wants to feature us in an article about wedding photojournalism that will be in a national distributed magazine. I'm still fairly new, so I'm pretty excited about anything that comes my way!
1. Kudos on the new site...I booked four weddings last week through the WPJA site! Have a great week.
2. In 1997, long before the WPJA, I quit my job as a staff photojournalist at The Dallas Morning News and proudly began photographing weddings.
10 years later, I still consider myself a photojournalist, a wedding photojournalist and supporter of the WPJA. While the WPJA isn't my number one referral source, I can honestly credit the WPJA with over $100k in direct bookings in the past two years. That's what I call return on investment.
Long ago, I began investing my advertising budget into my past and current clients. This, along with my WPJA leads, have proven to be invaluable.
I'm positive that the recent "house cleaning" at WPJA had everything to do with the style of work being showcased by its members.
Many members, myself included, were sick and tired of members that deceptively designed their sites solely for acceptance into the WPJA and then failed to uphold the WPJA guidelines.
