I am a photographer with over 15 years experience as a photojournalist.   I love photography and the special moments in life.

Wedding photography has allowed me to capture the unique details of each couple, their family and friends.

$2000 - $5000 based upon special needs and/or requests.  I recently added the fun photobooth to my services!

As a photojournalist, I approach wedding photography as an observe, looking for spontaneous events.  I constantly seek out the unique aspects of your wedding.   I do arrange required posed photographs of family and friends, but that is just the beginning (I have been known to assist the bride & maids with dresses and staying on schedule).

I will always have a second photographer.

We capture different moments of the day (groom preparing, bride preparing), allowing the bride and groom to spend more time with family and friends.

• I will be happy to assist you with creating a high-end book or a photo-album.  We are in the age of digital bookmaking, and I will show you how to create your own with the images I provide.

Images are placed online for family and friends to view and order prints.

                                                                                         
•  Engagement Portrait Session -  This may include a change of clothes if you wish and can take up to 4 hours.  My personal preference is a natural environment in a location of your choice.  During this session we can get to know each other and discuss specifics and wishes for your wedding pictures.
