My goal is photos that make your mom cry. Photos you’ll pass down for generations.
I want clients to say “We never saw him take that, but we love it!!”

Wedding Photography Experience
Weddings are fluid events. Schedules, dresses, family, guests, weather and all kinds of variables. You want to make sure you have an experienced photographer capturing your memories.
I have photographed and filmed over 750 weddings in the last 20 years. I still look forward to my next one every week. Photography was a hobby that become a career and I still love it! For several years I contracted for other companies while working for myself too. This was hectic doing over 60 weddings some years. The last 10 years I have stopped contracting and work almost exclusively for my own business booking about 40 weddings a year on average.

Wedding Photography Style
There is no one photography style that fits weddings. There are candid moments, raw and emotional. Posed set up family photos. Photos of rings and flowers requiring an artistic creative mind. Flower girls running around on far too much sugar. (I really love photographing them still haha endless fun) Photos outside in gardens and then dark churches and reception halls. Not to mention snow, rain and anything else the weather adds. Family you have not seen in years and family you hope to not see for years. I think my people skills are more important than photo skills during some weddings. I have stories!
My photography style tends to be a mix of photojournalistic and traditional. I pose couples and families for formal photos and I always look for little details, but most of the rest of the day I use a candid unobtrusive style to capture the raw emotions and feelings as they unfold. Love needs no scripting. My favorite compliment is when couples look at a photo and say they never saw me take it and I captured the raw emotions they were feeling.

Wedding Video Style
Over the years wedding video has evolved tremendously. From basic candid coverage to artistic productions with multiple cameras, crews of videographers and more. From Video tapes to DVDs and now USB and video on phones and tablets.
Today two styles seem to be popular.
One is very artistic, highly edited, with multiple cameras and one or two videographers posing and scripting the day. It produces an amazing artistic ten minute video most often. For couples with a bigger budget and who don’t mind their day being more scripted this rocks! I used to do these videos and loved the creative process. The editing alone adds to the cost, as does the multiple videographers. Cost and the shooting style eliminates this option for many couples.
Secondly, and what I offer, is a candid documentary style video. This is a less obtrusive and less artistic style. More of a documentary of what occurred with less special effects, far less editing and seldom any scripting on wedding day. The more artistic video often deploys DSLR Cameras which provide great footage but do not zoom effectively so the videographer is often moving a lot, filming close and using rigs and sliders. These techniques take time and this is often why two videographers are used. The candid style I use suits a typical video camera similar to a mobile news crew. This allows for less obtrusive filming and two mostly stationary cameras out of the way most of the day. I find this unobtrusive style so important at the ceremony especially. Often a church balcony allows for a very clear filming vantage point far from guests and not blocking your photographer or wedding party. You don’t get a close up shot of the rings going on…….but you don’t get a videographer five feet from you all ceremony. (I have photos of some really unprofessional videographers on the east coast doing this)
If you are looking for an artistic video I know several wonderful local vendors I love and can share with you. They are wonderful keepsakes! I enjoyed shooting that style before I decided to focus on the documentary style.
