About



There isn't a whole lot that you need to know about me that you wouldn't learn from spending 15 minutes with me. I smile a lot. I laugh at just about everything. I am a hugger. I am in love with the idea of love. I use the word cute far more than socially acceptable for a guy. And if you have junior mints on you or in the vicinity, I am liable to eat them all.

I wish I could tell you some fancy story about how I am an "aaaarrrrrrrtist" and years of "punishment" and "toil" have motivated me to make art… but that would just be a lie. The reality is pretty simple; I want to make beautiful photos just as bad as you want to have them (maybe more).

I live a pretty surreal life these days. I take pictures of amazing people in love. I get to hop on planes and travel all over this blue marble to hang out with couples on the biggest day of their lives. I am insanely fulfilled and amazingly happy. If I ever complain or you don't see me smiling, smack me. Okay?


Give me a shout if you want to talk about one of the biggest days of your life.
It is my favorite subject and I am all ears. =)

Paul is such a talented and personable wedding photographer. He did a beautiful job on our engagement shoot and wedding photos. He is prompt on photo delivery and I'd highly recommend him to others. He utilizes natural light and scenery beautifully. We can't wait to use him for a family photoshoot. Two thumbs up and fives stars for PVR. :)

I first met Paul when he was the photographer at my sister's wedding. He was great to work with and her photos were AH-mazing. I wish I could have hired him to take MY wedding photos!

A few years later, we hired Paul for a family photo shoot, our first one! :) It was a difficult day for us (husband found out he didn't get a job he had interviewed for) but we were trying to make the best of it. Paul was fantastic. His friendly, positive attitude and how he interacted with my kids totally changed the day around for us. He worked so well with our family and was able to get their personalities to shine through in his shots. We have some of the most breath taking pictures of our family and I truly appreciate the experience and photos that Paul provided us that day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
