I take a cinematic approach to photography. While documentary in nature, my photographs concentrate on the emotional connection of the moment. I am more focused on how your photos will make you feel, and bringing you back to the way it felt, than how things look on the outside. That is what I would consider to be the priceless aspect in photography.

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

I am located in Califon, NJ (Central NJ) and travel within an approximate range of 1.5 hours from my base, free of charge. Weddings out of this range will be custom quoted travel fees.

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

I have been in business for approximately 10 years, and have photographed over 150 weddings.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My approach is a documentary style with a fine art twist, concentrating on the emotions of the moment through artistic lighting and creative, heartfelt compositions.

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

Wedding packages differ between amount of coverage to customize for your needs. I enjoy covering events from intimate weddings to large galas. All wedding packages include a complimentary "Connection Session" to get to know each other, and a base 10x10 album to house your memories.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I work out of my home in Califon but will gladly treat you to a coffee at a local coffee spot nearby, or we can Facetime in pajamas with a glass of wine in hand.

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

I am a graduate of the School of Visual Arts in NYC and I hold a BFA in Photography. I am also a member of PPA, and continue to work on my craft through mentorships with photographers in the field as well as photography and business courses.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I am an introvert at first, but once you get to know me and my quirky sense of humor, I promise we'll be friends. Oh, and hablo español.
