I don’t remember exactly when I started working with the good folks over at IIDA but each year the bring me up to Jacksonville, Florida to photograph their amazing event. The Cocktail Couture is part fashion, part party and part fund raiser with proceeds going to Dignity U Wear, a charity that helps cloth children […]

I can’t tell you how often I find myself in situations where I wish I had a larger camera or at the very least, a bigger lens. One of the tricks that photographers have used for years to get more stuff into an image is a technique called ‘the stitch’. ‘The stitch’ is not a […]

I met Lien (more than a couple of) years ago through mutual friends in my last life. Initially, when she reached out to me about a wedding photographer I thought it was to get my input on what photographer to use… when she asked me for a quote I was ecstatic.  This week I am […]

I recently shared an image on Facebook that got a lot of love so I thought I give some behind the scenes as to how the image came together.  Last week I was at the Mission. A crazy rainstorm had just blown through town and I was waiting for one of my amazing couples to arrive […]

I am, primarily, a wedding photographer. On average, I spend about 60 hours a week planning, photographing and processing wedding photographs.

When I photograph Holiday cards I love to shoot individuals of each person… the initial concept called for Kat to be standing closer to the fire place and hoolah hooping. As you can see from the frames that didn’t make it, it just didn’t work. We finally decided to move her to the center of […]

Two of my best friends fell in love and moved to Nebraska… back in May I got a chance to do some photos with them before they moved. Yesterday, I grabbed this one out of the reject pile, dusted it off and spent some time touching it up. For the type, my buddy Bryant whipped up […]

This week we hop into the “WAY BACK” machine all the way back to 2008. This is a great look not just at the changes I have made to the bike over the years but also the changes in my photography.  Here is a photo that I took in the same spot of the same […]

When Danielle and I met in person she described the images that she wanted for her engagement photos: classic, simple, elegant. We discussed outfits, time of day, you know, the normal stuff. On the day of the shoot we had a lot of fun. We moved from set to set and we were both really […]
