So… after much prodding from several sources I finally started a blog! I have little idea what I am doing and I hate to read intructions so here it goes……

I have always been interested in the art of photography. My father was in the Air Force most of my young life and I remember traveling throughout Europe in a bright orange Volkswagen bus in 1976 with my family. We didn’t really have the money to stay in hotels so we camped our way through Germany, France, Italy, etc. Through every trip my father, a History major and teacher, never put down his camera. I remember every camera he had from the tiny Rollei, his Zeiss and most recently his Canon AE-1. We have a treasure trove of slides from those days. I was always more interested in the emotion that a photograph evoked. The photos my father took while we visited Dachau concentration camp in Germany still touch me 30 years later. I guess that is why photography is so important to me. I am humbled by the responsibility to capture time. Whether it is a part of history or a bride’s big day. I will never stop loving the art. My desire to capture emotion is far greater than my desire to take a picture.  I hope you enjoy my little corner of the web.

Amy & John

As with many of my wedding couples I have really bonded with Amy & John. They are AWESOME! I am proud to call them friends. I was honored to capture an image of Amy at the site of her father’s grave at her request. It was very moving. Take a look at John’s wedding band. It is BY FAR the coolest ring I have EVER seen! He is an Iron Worker so the steel cable in the ring has significance. What a GREAT day! A HUGE thank you to my friend Jim Hopkins (www.jbhop.com) for shooting with me!

Sean & Kacy know how to put on a PARTY! When we got together in March for the engagement pics i knew it was going to be fun but i had NO IDEA it was going to be this much fun! The reception was at the Curtis Center on 6th and Walnut. The staff there was FABULOUS! I cannot rave enough about this venue.  I had the pleasure of shooting with my good friends Jim Hopkins (www.jbhop.com) and Andy Hastings  (www.andyhastings.com) Thanks a bunch guys!  Sean & Kacy selected “The Exceptions” to get the party going and they DID! The band was fantastic and made the whole night a non stop party. What a great night!

Rachele & Brian

Some days you wake up and things look pretty bad….I drove 2 hours to Baywood in lower Delaware in a POURING rainstorm. I get there to find Rachele not bothered at all by the weather and happy just because she is marrying Brian. As the photographer I admit I was a bit worried about the monsoon going on outside but I knew we would make it work regardless…..4:00pm arrives and right on cue the skies lit up and the rain stopped! Rachele said “Let’s do some PHOTOS!” The staff at Baywood was incredible and everything went off without a hitch! That place looks like Longwood Gardens! Its gorgeous! I HIGHLY recommend  www.baywoodgreens.com Lauren and Natalia were SOOO helpful!  The weather stayed beautiful for the ceremony and the photos. I am grateful to Rachele and Brian for entrusting me to capture their big day! Thanks guys!! And a big THANK YOU to my good friend and 2nd Shooter Jim Hopkins www.jbhop.com! Great job Jim!

Jenn and I were driving around Charlotte looking for a place to shoot with no luck until we passed a developement with a field and this horse fence in front of it. It was perfect! She was getting cold and it was starting to rain but she was a good sport and looked amazing!

Sam & Sarah

I can’t rave enough about these two families! I shot Sarah’s sister Amanda’s wedding last year and had the absolute pleasure of being a part of the family again yesterday! I really felt like family. Sarah and Sam were amazing to work with! The weather was AWESOME and the location was stunning. Congratulations Sarah & Sam!
