As a wedding photographer, I'm strictly an observer but I also bring years of experience attending weddings to the table. I bring that insight to your ceremony and reception, and if you need support or a calming presence, I'm prepared to help you cope with the situations that will ultimately make your wedding unique. When you work with me, everything I shoot for you – whether I'm documenting your ceremony and reception or creating a portrait in which your personality shines through – I'm also shooting for myself as a photographer. And my standards of quality are exceedingly high. I bring my unique style of photojournalism to your wedding or portrait session, and together we can create beautiful images using natural light, creative settings, and non-traditional techniques. New environments and circumstances are invigorating, and I consider it part of my job to make the most of challenging situation so I can make your memories come to life.

Making the Academy Awards

Most people probably don't know that the Academy Awards are made at R.S. Owens company in Chicago. Founded in 1938 by Owen Siegel, the company has grown to be a premiere supplier of award objects and gifts, including the iconic gold Oscar.
I had the opportunity to photograph the award's creation process and even got to hold a few of them before the winners in Hollywood did.
This year's nominees were just announced and include, Avatar, The Hurt Locker and Up in the Air.
