I think choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make, so I want to explain what separates me from others: my experience and my approach. Relative my experience, I've had work in most major magazines and newspapers (I was a stringer for AP & UPI), and have dozens of awards for my efforts; my approach is a blend of photojournalism (picture story) and traditional where needed.
I encourage clients to customize to their needs. All packages include engagement sessions, all prints, proof albums, photos on the web, and all images on a gold (archival) DVD. The larger packages include 5x7 albums (digital or traditional), and coverage of the whole weekend, from rehearsal/rehearsal dinner, to luncheons, to the wedding. My assistants often help me with this wedding work.
Journalistic wedding photography is the most popular approach today, and no photojournalist in north Georgia has more experience than I. Your wedding photographs are all that's left of a wonderful celebration, and you need the confidence that experience can offer!

Capturing story-telling images is the heart of good photojournalism and my news background is perfect training for finding images that will help you relive the wedding day! Reliability, creativity, and personality are critical for wedding photographers, and my clients count on me to deliver.
As a news photographer, I traveled from Oregon to Florida, and was on the national test team using the first digital cameras for sports coverage.
My wedding work has seen me work in 4 countries and 14 states, but my method is the same-to capture the fun and excitement of the day- the images that help you hold onto that day, those people.
Thank you for your consideration of my wedding photography. Please call the studio and let me show you my work!
