Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. My family would often forget to develop our film after vacations, but months later we were always excited and surprised to see what came back when we finally got our pictures developed. With the advent of digital cameras, the images come much quicker, but the excitement is still there.

I'm often awed by the power of story-telling images in various genres of photography. To me, the most powerful images make you feel what it's like to "be there." I strive to capture this in my wedding images. I feel so honored to document people's memories, knowing that pictures are such an important part of familial history and storytelling. It is a hefty responsibility, and one I do not take lightly. In fact, I know this is what I am meant to do.

When I'm not shooting weddings, portraits or corporate events, you can usually still find me with a camera in my hand - taking pictures of my beautiful family - my wife Carolyn, our son Ryan, and three dogs Jingles, Cooley and Cooper. I'm a photographer and I can't imagine doing anything else.
