Why I Love Weddings:
My passion as a photographer lies in capturing the beauty of nature, the human spirit, and life's meaningful moments. I love exploring mountains, lakes, and gardens, meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures, and seeing them enjoy their lives in colorful attire. Weddings provide the perfect opportunity for me to capture these special moments as they unfold. With my appreciation for music and art, I incorporate these elements into my work to create visually stunning images that evoke emotions. As a photojournalist, I specialize in capturing genuine moments in a documentary style, preserving these emotions forever.
A Little Bit About Myself:
In my 25-year career as a wedding photographer, I have had the honor of capturing the beauty of hundreds of weddings that showcase different faiths, cultures, and nationalities. This extensive experience has not only broadened my knowledge and skills, but has also sharpened my adaptability to different wedding traditions and customs. Regardless of the scale of the event, I aim to capture the genuine essence of every couple's love story, ensuring that every photo reflects their unique connection.
Most Memorable Wedding Moment:
I thoroughly enjoy taking in the breathtaking scenery of lakes and mountains. Recently, I had the pleasure of conducting a wedding ceremony at Lake Placid in upstate New York. The ceremony took place in the afternoon under a tent right by the lake. The stunning blue water, lush green mountains, and perfect mix of sunshine and clouds created an absolutely magnificent setting. The bridal party arrived in small boats and danced to music. Just as the ceremony began, a thunderstorm hit, adding a romantic touch to the already picturesque atmosphere. Though everyone got a bit wet, no one moved and after the ceremony, the guests continued dancing in the rain. I truly cherished this unforgettable and natural experience.
Other Interests:
I enjoy traveling, taking long drives, attending sporting events, and listening to jazz music.
Professional Certifications:
I studied photography and graphic design during my college years. I also attended seminars hosted by the New York School of Photography and Canon. My work has been published in both New York Weddings and the New York Times.
