About

Who am I?  What follows is a few musings on my personal approach to wedding photography.

Myself with Ray and his new beautiful bride - Julie. Location: Tawian.

The Photography Process

Style: Photo Journalistic approach.

It is interesting how a camera can freeze the beauty and intensity of the day that we too soon forget or skim over.

The following qualities are important:

• The Expression of beauty….
• The Regal look….
• A Distinctive style….
• And Elemental moments …..

Every wedding has these elements, large or small, inside or outside, downtown or uptown …. it does not matter.

These ingredients make each wedding unique and interesting.

As time passes, family and friends will share and re-share the special-crazy moments from your wedding.  The images from your day will become treasured documents; holding memories and feelings that bind your family for generations.  This is what matters.  This is where personal engagement from your photographer can make all the difference.
