Communication is an essential element in creating a successful business relationship. What I offer as a photographer should meet the needs of my client. Therefore, I am very clear about what I bring to the table and whether this fits your criteria. My goal is to capture the feel and nature of your day. When you look at your photographs they should tell a visual story of your wedding day. It is my job to respond to the events as they unfold around me.  As a trained portrait photographer, I do like to set aside time for formal images but they should not dominate the occasion. Your wedding day should be filled with memories of sharing your moments with family and friends and not standing and posing in front of a camera. A constant comment I hear when leaving a wedding is “ I never noticed you ”. As stated in my video presentation, I am looking to photograph small intimate weddings or marriage partners looking to hire a photographer for two to four hours. After being in business for more then twenty years and teaching at the college level, this timetable best fits my lifestyle.
