Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about me and my work. I hope you take a few moments to take a look at both my website and images as well. A simple google search of my name will bring up many things that may differentiate my work from the others you're considering. I'm not a great self promoter because I was taught at a very early age to never brag or boast about yourself. Let other Brag about you. However, there are few accolades that I'm quite proud of, and I think they need to be mentioned in this profile.

I was chosen for my Bald Eagle Photo in National Geographic Magazine in Aug 2007 edition. I was Published in Heavy Chevy Magazine in Feb 2010 for a 1970 Chevelle SS Photo Shoot. I was Publish in Hot Rod Magazine in 2012 for a Chevelle SS Photo. I was Published in Sister to Sister Magazine in Dec 2015 for a African Head Wrap documentary. I was nominated as #1 Photographer in Washington DC on Thumbtack for 4 Straight Years 2015 - 2019.

My career in photography now spans over 15 years even though I started Photography over 35 Years ago. I just never took it that serious and I did a lot of jobs for Free until someone came to me and said I was missing my Calling. They told me I needed to take my Profession Serious and build my business. So a few years after that while working with a very well known Photographer and listening to him call me " The Man With The Most Unique Eye For Capturing The Perfect Image" When he gave me that label and told me my eye for Prography was above and beyond everyone. I started taking it very serious. So it lead me to now and after 400 plus weddings under my belt my passion has never once faded. I never dreamed for one second that I'd be enjoying wedding photography as much as I do now.

Although I now have a lot of weddings under my belt, I have to admit that I once viewed wedding photography as a bit of a joke. I believed that it was a recipe- motivated, formula- driven genre that lacked creativity and spontaneity. My visual impression of wedding photography was the bride and groom staring blankly at the camera. These photos seemed cold and terribly staged.
Light, texture, dimension, mood, composition, anticipation, passion, emotion, energy, romance, and relationships, are the ingredients necessary to make great photographs at a wedding. I have truly come full circle with regard for both my attitude and respect for wedding photography.

Today, the decision in choosing a wedding photographer has never been more difficult. The digital revolution has allowed so many new photographers to enter this ever growing field. My work is not about the marketing hype or photoshop manipulation. I don't attempt to pose you into someone who I think you should be. My goal is to capture the essence of who you are by capturing your day naturally- through an artistic interpretation of your day along with some of the best of the traditional aspects of wedding photography.

To me, it's all about the moments of the day. The moments that are obvious, and the hidden gems that you wont see until you view your images. I'm shooting for 35 years from now, not just for your wedding day. Nobody will work harder to find and capture these moments for you throughout your day.
