Why I Love Weddings:
Weddings celebrate the love between two people, and for me, it's an honor to be able to capture that love in memories that will last forever. I love to capture those special moments that symbolize the union of two families coming together to create a bigger one. There are other joyful occasions that I have photographed, but none of them are quite like a wedding.
A Little Bit About Myself:
I've been photographing professionally for 12 years now and I've enjoyed every minute of those years.
By having a degree in Communications with a radio/television/film emphasis, photography is one of the few vocations that allows me to utilize what I learned in school.
I'm from Philadelphia but I've also lived in Atlanta and New York City. I've also been fortunate enough to travel and enjoy those trips by documenting such unique places as Alaska, Iceland, and Cuba.
Most Memorable Wedding Moment:
My most memorable wedding moment was in a small wedding that I had the pleasure of capturing. The groom had a young son and the couple incorporated the young man into every aspect of the ceremony. After the couple exchanged vows, the bride asked an impromptu question of the young boy to accept her as his new Mom to which the boy responded, "I do". It was one of the most memorable and touching moments that I have witnessed at a wedding and I am so glad I was there to capture it for them.
Videography/Photography Style:
I would describe my style as photojournalistic. I love capturing unique moments that often go unnoticed. Much of our world today is captured by cell phones, but fantastic things still happen that often require a single eye to see and capture at the time. I love looking for those moments that aren't staged.
However, I can also adapt my style to any requirements with my professional knowlege and although I love capturing candid moments, I also love taking thoughtful, glamorous, can composed photos. I thoroughly enjoy photography as my profession and shooting any event, scene, or circumstance where I can abstract a truly enjoyable photograph that people enjoy and can be proud of for the rest of their lives is what I live for.
Other Interests:
I have many interests besides photography, including collecting music, creating music, and DJing. But probably my most loved hobby is traveling. I've been into many unique locations around the world and I hope to see many many more and to be able to capture them with my camera.
Professional Certifications:
BA in Communications with an RTF emphasis.
