About

Dedicated Photographer!

Specializing in photojournalism.  I cater to Weddings, Formal Gatherings, Birthday Parties, Anniversaries, Corporate Events, whatever the venue, I have the professionalism and care that you look for in a photographer.  Although I prefer to use film, I also use digital mediums to capture the events of the day.  My packages are reasonable and my care and passion for what I do are unbeatable in this area.  I’ve been a photographer for over 15 years and I will create magic for all of your moments!

Tips and Advice
If you're having a dark colored wedding then you'll want daylight for pictures outside.  Light colors look beautiful in darker backgrounds.  Indoor pictures of a reception can be dark or bright depending on the lighting. It's important that you discuss with your photographer prior to the selection process to make sure they can accomodate low light.  Make sure that they are taking their pictures in "large" format or you wont' have good pixelation for 8 x 10. Most photographers will guarantee 8 x 10 size but nothing above. Make sure that you have spoken to their references before you hire them.  There are a lot of less experienced photographers and you don't want them "practicing" on your wedding.  Look at their portfolios when you meet. Make sure they bring some 8 x 10's so you can gauge the quality. I always bring my laptop, screen is 15" so that's about 8 x 10 size. You can see the quality in them.  I also have a musical presentation that I can send out to customers.  Those are the photographers you want. Some that are creative and go above and beyond.
