A few of my many passions are photography, traveling the world, camping in Vermont, summer picnics in Central park, my two Cavalier...ng Charles Spaniels, my friends, and my family. I first picked up a camera in high school and there was no turning back from there. Starting old school, before the days of digital, I shot in black and white film, developing in a make shift dark room in my bathroom.
The first wedding I shot, I fell in love with the emotions of the experience. An overflow of photographic opportunities. Today, nearly seven years later, I am still loving it. I photograph with a photojournalist edge, capturing unique moments most would never see. I have had brides tell me seeing their photographs are like reliving the day, only better, because this time they see those special little moments they would have missed had I not been there.Read More
