Bio: After working as a staff photographer for news papers such as The Denver Post for more than 20-years, I started my own wedding photography business in 1997, specializing in wedding photojournalism. Having a BA in journalism and two feature Pulitzer entries to my credits prepared me for my career of documenting weddings. My first taste of wedding photojournalism came to me while I was traveling in Japan where I was
allowed to photograph parts of a traditional wedding. At the time I was working for the Denver Post. Within a year I left the paper to start my own wedding photography business.
Since then I've managed to photograph completely traditional weddings in both Italy and China. Someday I hope to publish a book on wedding cultures of the world. These experiences have helped me grow as a photojournalist so that I don't depend on spoken language as much as body language and respect while I am working. Even here in Denver I get many different types of wedding cultures and traditions such as Buddhist ceremonies. Last year I was hired to photograph one couples western wedding here in Denver and a Vietnamese Buddhist wedding in New Orleans the following week.
I've always loved telling stories with my pictures. Now I get to cover about 20 weddings a year and tell the stories in web based slideshows and in custom made books.

Thanks to everyone at WPJA for all of your hard work! I get a ton of bookings from my listings with you and know many of my colleagues do as well. Now if I could only get my gangsta necklace ...
I just wanted to thank you for starting and maintaining the
WPJA. I love it. I am not surprised it is a highly criticized
organization. That is because it is an exceptional organization that
is dramatically changing the industry. I can say for myself, I
probably would not still be shooting weddings if it were not for the
WPJA. Being a part of a group that values truth, ethics, and
authentic imagery as strongly as I do is very important. When I say I
am a member of the WPJA, that is the best tool I have to establish
that I am a professional, with an ability to tell the AUTHENTIC story
of their wedding.
I was just talking with a friend of mine about authenticity, in regard
to the rise in popularity of Hip Hop. Russell Simmons, hip hop mogul
and multi-millionaire, said: "What the corporations dont understand is
that the only formula for success in the [music] industry is
authenticity." People know and respond to authenticity when they see
it --whether that is in music, film, television, or photography. That
is why the WPJA is so threatening to purveyors of inauthentic
products. They know it is a serious threat to the survival of their
business, and the wedding industry is, unfortunately, chock full of
inauthentic vendors. I hope this whole WPJA phenomena turns the
industry on its head and completely changes the reputation wedding
photography. And that is EXACTLY what the industry fears.
Keep up the good fight. You are onto something big.
