I really think Martha Stewart Weddings said it best:

“The photographer you entrust with preserving your wedding memories plays one of the most important roles in your wedding. As the years pass, what will remain of your wedding are your photographs, and you will eventually rely on them to remember the event and to share it with your children and grandchildren.”

When I first read that, I couldn’t help but realize how true it was. Twenty years from now – heck, five years from now – you’re not going to remember what the food tasted like. You’re not going to tell your grandchildren about the music or the flowers. But you will have photos. That is what makes my “job” so rewarding – knowing that I’m helping couples capture their special day and preserve their memories for generations to come.

Couples spend more time with their wedding photographers than any other vendor, and I think it’s important to choose a photographer you “click” with. I’m extremely laid back and easy going. When it comes to wedding photography, I’d say my style is a perfect mix of photojournalistic and posed photos. For 90% of your wedding day I’m going to be documenting the events as they happen with no direction or posing. In other words, I’m not the type of photographer who’s going to stop you while you’re dancing and ask you to smile for the camera. At the same time, I know most couples are going to want some awesome posed photos and that’s what I’ll do for you during the scheduled “photo time” portions of the day. I don’t need a ton of time to give you amazing posed portraits, 1 hour is plenty – and trust me, you’ll have a fantastic time posing for the camera, even if you say you hate having your photo taken.

To ensure that all of my clients get my utmost attention and care, I accept a very limited number of weddings per year. I am completely booked for 2010. I am currently booking dates for 2011. If you’re interested in my services, please call the studio at 814-443-2350 or email me using the contact form above to see if I am available for your date.
