Introduction
I think my work stands out from others because of my fine art and academic photography background. I received my BFA from UCLA and also graduated from The Brooks Institute of Photography. My work is candid and artistic, photo-journalism with a slightly fine art twist and also my enthusiasm for getting, not just a good shot, but the best shot shows through in my work. I have an adventurous spirit, always thinking ahead and asking myself "What if?" I have worked along side some of the most famous wedding photographers in the world, Parker Pfitser, Jerry Ghionis and Cliff Mautner to name a few and have taken so many exciting and creative ideas and techniques home form those sessions. I believe my portfolios speak for themselves in this regard. I'm also very easy going, fun, patient and love what I do so very much! I love the ability to express my art in wedding day stories and portraits, from candid to classical and I also enjoy the people I work with. Children are great, whether they are having a "bad day" or a great day, there is always a "photo" there! Nervous brides? Not a problem, I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and have all sorts of tricks and relaxation techniques I use to keep everyone relaxed, happy and enjoying their special day.

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    The most important thing is to look at the photographer's portfolio of a single wedding as well as their main body of work and make sure they are willing to work with you to capture the type of image you are looking for. Personality is also a factor, you need to feel comfortable around your photographer.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    With the ease of digital photography and photo programs everyone seems to think they are a photographer. Images are much easier to control and editing is a cinch, but there is so much more to professional portraits, wedding and event photography than simply taking the picture and editing it in a photo program. I attended Yosemite workshops under the guidance of the great Ansel Adams to understand exposure, light and texture, and also attended the Brooks Institute of Photography and was awarded a degree in master Photography from the Newport School of Photography. I was also awarded a distinction by The Royal Photographic Society for my contemporary portraits. I attend many workshops, seminars, webcasts and keep up on the latest digital and Photoshop advances and with my fine art background, I have an eye for color, composition and what gives an images "emotion".
