About me
I'm a storyteller and I see the world in dynamic actions and bright vivid colors. I think it shows in my work. I love people, chaos, parties, fun, and romance, so wedding photography is perfect for me! Even after 25 years of professional photography work, I'm just as excited about the next event as I was at my first one.
I love sharks (and have gone cage diving with Great Whites), I play the drums, I make short films for film festivals for fun (mostly comedies), I love movies (especially comic book movies), and play basketball as much as possible. I have a lovely wife, three smart and crazy daughters that I have had the pleasure of homeschooling (even before 2020).
An Overview of My Career
I have twenty-five years experience in photography, starting out as a cinematographer in the motion picture industry. After a short stint as a motion capture artist in the special effects field, I took on the role of head of photography and graphics for Jewelry.com in the late 1990's. My wife and I decided to relocate to the Sacramento area in the early 2000's to be closer to family (I grew up in Grass Valley). That is when I started my own photography studio and I have spent the last seventeen years as a wedding photographer, shooting over 750 weddings during that time.
