I'm a professionally trained photographer and a graduate of a professional photography program. I spent 10 years working as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns-an environment where you learn quickly that the best images aren't staged. You have to anticipate what's about to happen, stay calm under pressure, work fast in changing light, and capture real emotion without getting in the way. That documentary foundation is exactly what I bring to weddings. 
 
For the past 25 years, I've photographed weddings as a wedding photojournalist, focused on telling the story of your day as it naturally unfolds. My approach is unobtrusive and story-telling. I'm capturing authentic moments, real interactions, and the small in-between details that make your wedding uniquely yours. The result is a collection of images that feels honest, timeless, and full of life. 
 
When it's time for portraits, I keep them artistic and natural with gentle direction-enough guidance to make you look your best, without stiff posing or long photo sessions that pull you away from your guests. I'll keep family photos organized and efficient, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. 
 
If you're looking for real, unscripted wedding photography with a true documentary feel-rooted in photojournalism-I'd love to tell your story.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I’m based in Frederick, Maryland, and I travel anywhere in the United States to photograph weddings with no travel fee.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I photographed my first wedding in 1996 and have photographed hundreds of weddings.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My style is photojournalistic. I capture real moments as they naturally happen to tell the story of the day along with creative portraits.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

I photograph weddings with a true photojournalistic approach, telling the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, capturing authentic interactions and the small in-between details without getting in the way. When it’s time for portraits and family photos, I keep things natural, guided, and organized.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I graduated from New England School of Photography with a focus in photojournalism and fine art photography.
