Love is the most sacred bond we experience. I absolutely love to photograph weddings and consider it an honor as well as a great responsibility. I can think of no other service that day, which is more lasting or holds greater responsibility. I provide all the photos from the wedding - not just a few hundred that I choose. All will be high resollution without a watermark. For 2024 only, I am also including unedited video for no extra charge as it is a new service I am looking to provide in the future.

It's not just about capturing but also creating! You want to feel confident in your photographer's ability to capture this once in a lifetime event in a way that makes you also feel comfortable and authentic. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years. My approach to photography is very photo-journalistic - I like to capture the day as it unfolds rather than try to orchestrate every moment since it ends up feeling fake or staged. With that said, when it comes to the formals (pictures of the couple, wedding party, family) I will help pose and choose locations to create those iconic images.

I have always been creative. I was a sculptor and my work was in galleries when I lived out west (California, Oregon, New Mexico and Arizona). My work has been published both nationally and internationally.

Some clients I have worked with include; Syracuse University Basketball Coach Jim Boeheim, Mayor Ben Walsh, President of The United States, MacKenzie-Childs, Burger King, Carrols Restaurant Group, Ed Pagano (Chief of Staff for Senator Patrick Leahy), Bauer Hockey, NHL, ProLiteracy, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Labatt’s Brewing Company, Lambda Legal Defense, Aspen Dental, and New York Times Best Selling Author Tamora Pierce – among many others.

The best way to see and understand me and my style is to meet in person and view several weddings. If you like my style, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
