My background in the editorial style of photography gives my wedding photojournalism a particular edge. I love telling a story with images. I love telling the story of a wedding day.

Many couples that I meet with, although wanting a photojournalistic style, express concern that they won’t get the formal portraits of family and friends who have come a long way for their wedding. Although the telling of the story is my focus, I realize the importance of the formal portrait. So I try to get a feel for what would be most appropriate through my meetings with you, the style of the venue, and the feel of the day.

The family portraits and portraits of the bridal couple can go from extremely casual to very traditional and formal. Aside from this, the block of time for the portraiture, I’m invisible and your day is yours to enjoy. As one couple put it: “You were everywhere and nowhere at the same time.” This, by the way, is the essence of “wedding photojournalism”. It is literally telling the story of your wedding day with pictures and it’s being able to doing so from a completely unobtrusive approach and candid view.

While I’m honored to be published in magazines such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Grace Ormonde’s Wedding Style and The Knot, I’m even more thrilled to receive compliments about my work from satisfied couples. I can provide references, but thought a quick quote might help:

“I looked through thousands of images in Bridal magazines when planning my wedding and never dreamed that I would have photos as beautiful as those. The photographs you took of our day are beyond my wildest dreams.”

I’m very happy to have the pleasure of sharing in so many wonderful memories with all of my couples. It is a joy to do what I’m doing and I hope to have the opportunity to share with you in your day.
