I have been photographing weddings in the greater Washington region since 1999, and am lucky enough to have traveled across the country and around the world to capture these special moments.
My career in photojournalism began when I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photojournalism in 1998. I never wanted to be a typical wedding photographer. However, when I discovered that people were interested in hiring a photojournalist to document their wedding - to tell the story of the beginning of their marriage - I found my niche, jumped in and never looked back.
I became a photographer with noble ideas of having my images change people’s lives. With a photo published in a paper or a magazine, this occasionally happens, but it is rare. With weddings, however, it is different.
I have one thought when photographing a wedding: I am your eyes. I will be a surrogate memory preserving the small and large moments that make up your wedding. You will have photos that will surprise and amaze you in their intimacy.
