High-Quality, Beautiful. Photography.

Style, Experience, Philosophy

  

My style
 

I love what I do and I try to offer the best personal service and amazing images. Most brides today are looking for a mix of candid photojournalist and traditional style photography. I concentrate less on poses and more on capturing the perfect moments. While I will set up traditional formal portraits, I take hundreds of candid shots of your day as it happens, capturing the emotions of the day. When I do pose a couple I concentrate on relaxed, candid and fun shots using the location and a mix of natural and flash lighting.
 

My experience
 

Being local to the Youngstown area, I've photographed weddings at most of the popular locations and I'm familiar with the special difficulties that come from shooting at certain venues. I have had the opportunity to shoot weddings from Youngstown to Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh and Columbus. Weddings can shot  in barns, gardens, cathedrals, chapels, backyards or parks~ I love the variety of locations that come with shooting weddings. My job is to capture all of those special moments, one of my favorites things is when a bride calls me and says ”I didn’t  even know that happened!”.
 

My philosophy
 

In the end the emotion of the day is what I love about my job. There’s nothing like a groom seeing his bride for the first time, or a father seeing his daughter in her dress. Each wedding is different and my job is to blend into your day, capture those special moments and deliver great images. I offer several package options for wedding photography. Each package features a beautiful book of your images along with a digital media storage device that contains your final images and printing rights. You will always have two photographers on your wedding day, I use only the best Canon equipment and I will never make you choose which hours of your day are the most important.
