On Weddings...
Being chosen and trusted to tell the visual story of someone's wedding to future generations is an honor and I never forget that. I love travel photography and have always felt weddings were very similar photographically. You have to transport yourself into a unique environment with people who are doing something very special. We don’t get married every day and that makes every wedding a cultural landmark in each person’s life. Documenting this story is a challenge that many photographers fear: A long day filled with different locations and different light, no opportunities for retakes all to be captured while being social. For me though, this is the most rewarding environment to make great photos. When I leave the house on the wedding day, I imagine myself about to shoot the most important story on Earth that day. 'There are a lot of things happening in the world today, but this wedding, with these two people is the story I have to tell to the future. This wedding is the most important story in the world for the next 12 hours'."

He takes his job seriously and was also able to have fun and be playful on our joyous day! He made us feel comfortable and he was willing to be spontaneous and go with the flow of our day.
