My background and experience is largely as a photojournalist, and after shooting many weddings using a traditional studio approach, my weddings have evolved to be very journalistic in nature.

Working with you to determine specific key areas and individuals, I then shoot extensively throughout the day, usually starting with bridal preparations and following the activity through the reception. My style is to concentrate on the candid and semi-candid images.

Working in advance with you I determine specific groups or other photographs for inclusion, but most importantly I work to get a feeling about you and your wedding, and to then apply that feeling as I create unique images and albums during and after the big day.

I have worked diligently over many years to develop a “low impact” method of covering weddings--if I need something in order to get the best photographs I will ask for it, but usually I can maintain a very low profile. My goal is to document your day with spontaneous and beautiful images. I strive to do this without intruding, delaying or running the day for you. Many of the best images would simply not occur if I employed a more heavy handed approach.

On the technical side, wherever possible I use very quiet Leica equipment. Beyond being very fast and quiet, Leica optics are recognized as absolutely the highest quality available. While some amount of flash is usually required, I keep it to a minimum and use it in concert with the existing light.

Start Over

Several years ago I made the decision to do all darkroom work and print all enlargements for wedding albums personally, as in this way I can continue to apply that feeling that I develop about you and your wedding to the production of your prints and albums. I have had access to some very fine darkroom
professionals, but communication of this nature is difficult and
even under ideal conditions the work often falls short of my expectations.
