MY WHY
IT's AN to
take the images YOU'LL COME BACK TO
honor
honor
Unlike many photographers, I didn't start life with a camera in hand and I haven't known that I wanted to be a wedding photographer forever. I fondly remember taking lots of pictures as a kid, often
posing my family and friends together and then taking the disposable camera to the nearest drugstore to develop. But I never imagined it would turn into the business that it is today.
Many years ago, I purchased a camera solely to enhance my beloved hobby and quickly realized that I loved the science behind taking an exquisite photograph and at the same time, making people feel fantastic in front of my camera. Just as I did as a kid, I love preserving the feelings of the moment for my couples so you can treasure those sentiments for generations to come.
