In 1992, I officially became a professional photographer, and haven’t looked back since. I joined such associations as Professional Photographers of America, Wedding and Portrait Photographers International, and Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area where I served as a board member for 3 years. During this time, I furthered my photographic knowledge by attending as many classes, seminars and schools as I could. Because styles and technology constantly evolve, I think it's imperative that as a professional photographer, I keep up with those happenings. I continually strive to further my education, knowledge, and mastery of photography to remain contemporary. It is because of this, that several of my photographs have been recognized with awards and other accolades, by my peers and associations. In an average year, I ideally do no more than 20 weddings, and a few dozen portraits and engagement sessions. My wedding customers have come to love my unobtrusive, inconspicuous way of perfectly capturing their event. My style is to creatively mix color and black & white, with traditional (posed) and photo journalistic (as it unfolds), ensuring you receive expressive candids, and exemplary illustrative wedding images!
