About
I am trained as a photojournalist. I know how to capture the moment, look for interesting angels and not let a surprise moment or event slide pass me without snapping that event in time. Many times, there is on photo that tells the story, being prepared and knowing the situation will achieve high results. You will always get high results from my photo or video skills, no matter what the event is.
Capturing the moment or event. Finding new angles, new photo ideas that may have not been tried before. I also like when customers look over the photos and are highly pleased with the results, knowing that they got the best photos or video for their special event.

The photos Ralph shared with us were fantastic, capturing inspiring and funny, real and staged shots. We met up with Ralph at two locations: outdoors for the wedding party shoot and indoors for the ceremony/dinner. He was efficient, accomplishing different group shots as different folks from our party showed up. He was a professional artist, guiding us from spot to spot, pose to pose. Overall, I’d highly recommend Ralph! Thanks for your artwork!
Details: Wedding • 100 - 150 people • Indoors • Digital or online download • Bride or groom • $1,000 - $2,000

Ralph was professional, easy to work with and responded quickly from query to completed project. I hate posing for photos but he made the experience comfortable and easy to get through. Prepared to hate every photo taken of me, he proved that even I could photograph well. I highly recommend him.

Ralph was amazing! I was on a solo trip to Alaska and asked if he could help me capture some amazing sites. Ralph was very knowledgable about the area and the best sites, ultimately helping me get THE perfect shots! Highly recommended.

Ralph was extremely professional and different than most photographers you find in the sense he wanted to know what we wanted. Not necessarily how he thought it should go. Even then he provided excellent feedback on most couples preferences. His communication was phenomenal as well as his patience during this crazy period planning the wedding including during the wedding itself. His prices and quality are better than what I have seen by most. We cannot say enough just how happy we are with his ability and services. Highly recommended.
Details: Wedding • 26 - 50 people • Indoors • Digital or online download • Bride or groom • $250 - $500

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
With video, there is always continuing education going on. With the latest in 4k video, resolution, editing platforms, cameras, it seems that this media is changing on a monthly basis.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been doing photography and photojournalism since I was a kid. I love cameras, looking at light and figuring out the best photo for any event. It was just something I always enjoyed doing, it was never work.
