The Artist Way

It's just me.

I'm a dad. I love coffee, pizza, and peanut butter. I cycle, snowboard, deal blackjack, and take pictures. I love doing just about anything where I can interact with people, or just simply observe. I'm a former US Army Drill Sergeant, and military test engineer, but I consider myself blessed to also have a profession that allows me to pursue my passion of photography, and provide people with amazing images of the most cherished moments of their lives! Are your images as important to you, as they are to me?

Philosophy

How it is.

My philosophy on weddings is simple; look, listen, and work hard. I'm always looking. I'm looking for locations, light, textures, and colors. I'm also finding little details, the little things that are often overlooked but obviously mean something special. From the first phone call, I'm listening, learning what's important to you, your preferences, what gets you excited about us, from our image processing, to our beautiful wedding albums and storybooks. When I'm shooting, I'm listening. I'm hearing, the commotion, the conversations, the laughs, the birds chirping or the rain falling, it's part of this days story. I also hear the anxiety, the tears, the silence. All of these sounds help me to see whats happening, predict whats about to happen, and properly document your day. I work hard. Being attentive, alert to all things, the ever changing light, the situations around me. I work hard to position myself to capture not only the actions of the day, but also the reactions of loved ones and friends. At the end of the day, I'm exhausted, but I've captured a wonderful story of family and friends, celebrating your love. It's a story that I'll unfold, and you'll re-live in these amazing pictures, long after you've forgotten who I am.

F.A.Q.

Frequent Answers to Questions:

A. Because I'm a people person, people excite me, people having fun fuels my desire to make very cool pictures of them. I believe in passing on memories to the next generation, there is one way to do just that, with pictures. I happen to make really good ones ;)
A. Great! I'll just need your contract and retainer ASAP, chances are another couple is interested in your date as well! All date's are first-come first-served.
