About

Wedding photography and the resulting photographs are among the most memorable photographs that you will ever have in your life. They should be full of all of the great emotions and moments from only those few hours that are to be remembered by all for years to come.

As a Cleveland Ohio wedding photographer, I do not limit myself to the number of photographs or the amount of time that I take to make a complete story. I photograph in three styles: artistic, photojournalistic, and as a "photographer" by taking over when poses and family heirloom portraits are done. Requested photographs are also welcomed. With the combination of these three styles, I can capture the complete story. I mainly use digital camera's today, and I carry back-up equipment. Please use the "contact me" link to schedule an appointment or for more detailed information. References provided upon request.

Tips and Advice
Here are a few that I have run into more then one time -

1)  Dance floors...When was the last time that they were mopped?  Normally the high heels come off and the bottum of your feet will turn jet black along with the bottom of your dress.

2) If you are going to check out a location, make sure that the area or hall will look as close to the day or evening of your wedding.  If it is outdoors make a note as to the angle of the sun and the time of day.  If it is indoors have the lighting the same as it will be on your wedding and take a few snap shots so that you can see what it will actually look like.

3) DJ’s, do they have any idea what fidelity is?  I can not tell you how many dj’s have tried to turn a reception into a rock concert with no regard for the elderly in attendance.  I can see it in their faces as the volume of the bass crashes into them.   I had to tell my dj to turn the volume down 4 times during my reception.  This is uncomfortable for the older people like grand parents and great grand parents...they will end up leaving early.
