About

www.studiooflove.com - As a child growing up in foster homes in the Burroughs of New York City.  I was always known as one of the triplets with a sketchbook and graphite pencils in his backpack and a camera hanging on his shoulder, if I were not sketching then I would be taking photographs. Even though I went to school for Architecture, my true loves (other than my wife) are graphic design and photography. Six years ago I decided to let the world know and become a professional at this. So, here I am, photographing weddings and portraits in a city near you.

As a Brooklyn native transplanted in Washington, D.C., these are the two cities where I draw some of my inspiration. I get the rest from traveling, studying the craft and honing my photographic eye.

If you get to know me, you will quickly find out the eight things I love;

1.) I love my God, 2.) I love my wife, 3.) I love my family, 4.) I love all my friends, 5.) I love well-seasoned dishes, 6.) I love going to museums, 7.) I love photography, 8.) And I studio of love, you.

As a professional photography studio, Studio of Love wants you to look great as your images are being created for you and your family. Therefore, I put together a WEDDING, PORTRAIT, SENIORS & CHILDREN GUIDE that will reveal some powerful secrets you need to know before you choose a photographer. The guides listed on my website under “PHOTOG TYPE” will help you to look your best before you are photographed for your portraits.

So click on a GUIDE and see what it takes to make a great photograph.

How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic And Emotional Wedding Day Of Your Dreams!

7 Amazing Secrets Revealed!

Dear Bride To Be,

Congratulations on your engagement! How exciting and romantic! Now let’s guarantee you will have a fantastic and romantic wedding day full of love, emotion and beauty! (Believe it or not, that does take some planning!)

I must admit - I LOVE weddings! I've been photographing them for over 6 years - not because I have to for the money, but because I WANT to, because I love the emotion and romance of your wedding.

Here's How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic And Emotional Wedding Day Of Your Dreams!

There Are 7 Secrets To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams!
I'm going to tell you one of them right now and tell you EXACTLY how you can discover all seven of them FOR FREE.

One of the things that you really want to look for in your photographer is someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER!

You will need an artistic photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of your family, your friends and your wedding day. This is really important, if you are looking for photographs which will be PRICELESS to you for years and years to come!

And here's why this is so important! If an artist is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, there's a really good chance that he will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic can truly understand how important this day is to you and how perfectly you want it to go.

And a true romantic will be sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH THE EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY!

Let me just mention one horror story so you can understand how important this is.

I heard about a photographer who was hiding behind some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NOT do!) and he dropped a lens on the marble floor with a huge crash and then swore out loud, so loud that everyone heard it! (He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of the ceremony by hiding behind flowers where everyone could see him come and go, and of course there is NO excuse for profanity!

So, looking for a romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who will beautifully tell the story of your love for each other and for your family and friends, will also result in someone who will respect you and your wishes and conduct himself in only the most professional and friendly way, because he understands in the most intimate way, the importance of the "Story of Your Wedding Day."

And by the way, my brides tell me that they really love the way I emotionally tell the story of their wedding day. That's why I became a photographer - to tell the wonderful true stories of romantic couples in love.

You see, I don't really look at it as "wedding photography", but rather as "Emotional Family Photography" (E.F.P.) created on your wedding day! It's all the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you really want?

"E.F.P." is one of the major things that separate me from all the other wedding photographers in the area. I want to capture the love, relationships, personalities and emotions of all your family and friends for you to enjoy and view with happy tears in your eyes for years to come!

Aren't The People And The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter The Most To You?

Yes, the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life are so valuable to you. You'll also see the beautiful dresses and flowers and you'll see the lovely ceremony, etc. But more, much more than that, you'll feel the emotions that you and your fiancée feel toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this magical day. Yes, you'll FEEL them each time you view your photographs. That's what I am driven to do for you!

You see, you want photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect and the glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day. You want your photography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, your families AND friends. Most photographers bless their hearts, just want to "record the event and go home."

I want you to cry when you see the photographs! Cry tears of happiness, because in those photographs are all the people you and your husband love and care about - showing their real personalities and emotions like you never dreamed they would! Most photographers just want to get home before midnight or hurry to the next wedding they are photographing.

Don't Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of Your Day Because Your Photographer Didn't Have The Vision To See And Capture Them In A Sensitive, Romantic Way!

Your day will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments" that you will never experience again in your life. Those "Moments" are what I am driven to capture for you.
