A Little Background

I didn’t materialize as a photographer, but looking back it’s clear that this is what I was meant to do. I’ve always appreciated things that have balance, especially things that blend art and science. I love people and I love emotion. I have a deep respect for the ability of a photograph to convey feelings and memories.

A photograph’s power is it’s ability to capture a distinct moment in time. Because of that power, photographers are given a tremendous responsibility to capture stories as they unfold. My eye for detail and the moment, and my respect for the permanence of the images is what makes me unique.

My Philosophy

My approach is vintage modern. It’s about respect. Respect for the craft, respect for history, respect for the perpetuity of your images. I don’t like to follow fads, using the same gear and techniques as everyone else. The method is about crafting images that are as ageless as your bond, images that hold their power and emotion long after trends have come and gone.

I take the artisan’s approach. Choose the best tools for the moment. Create something eternal. Be innovative. Stand on the shoulders of those that have come before.

I blend in and avoid directing the action, capturing splendor and authenticity as they happen. I truly believe that there is beauty in the unscripted, that the truth of the moment is lost when the photographer intervenes.

Brass Tacks

Investment. Its an important component to anyone looking for a photographer for their special event. I customize my services to each client and can design a package that suits your needs.
