Bio: Prior to moving up to Vermont in the Summer of 2006 with my wife and young son, I was a freelance photojournalist for ~5 years with a number of news outlets in the Boston, Massachusetts
area including The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, The Boston Metro, The Associated Press & Community News as well as working for many more editorial clients. From these years of experience I
learned to look past the immediate story to look for alternative angles for that story, then turn around and look for other related stories going on at the same time so that in the end I’d have
multiple perspectives of the same story. I look forward to uncovering all the facets of your wedding story...
