About the Photographer

Photography has been my passion for 35 years, and it still gives me a thrill every time I press the shutter button.

I shot purely for pleasure for many years. After shooting many weddings for friends, and hearing over and over how my photos were so much better than those from the hired professionals, I came to believe I had a talent. Since then, I've made it my business to develop that talent.

Like all other forms of art, photography requires more than artistic vision; it requires the technical skills to turn that vision into reality. To make a great photograph, so many things have to be just right: lighting, color, exposure, focus, composition, and dozens of others. This is hard enough to accomplish in a studio; at an event, it's vastly more difficult — and you don't get a second chance to get that once-in-a-lifetime shot.

To get great shots reliably requires using the best equipment, and using it skillfully. I use only Canon's highest-grade professional lenses, on Canon's leading-edge digital single-lens-reflex cameras. Having shot hundreds of thousands of exposures with these tools, under all manner of conditions, allows me to approach any event with confidence.
