My love of the still image goes all the way back to my early childhood when someone left a Polaroid camera (remember those?) on a table just with in reach of my tiny hands. The images magically appearing when I shook the print like an Etch N' Sketch in reverse. Fast forward 20 years and I'm working with under privileged youth in San Jose. All around me meaningful moments were passing and I had no way of documenting them, holding them in time. I picked up my first "real" camera and an untapped passion came alive with in me. I soon moved on to photographing people on the street, seeking what Henri Cartier-Bresson described as that "Decisive Moment." Inevitably I would be asked by friends to photograph their weddings - which I would always decline. When I finally gave in and shot a wedding for a friend to my surprise I found that I LOVED photographing weddings. There are so many amazing images, once in a life time moments to be captured!

I love photographing weddings. They are full of joy and tears and rare candid moments. Technical skill is rarely enough to capture these moments. You want a photographer who has an intuitive gift for seeing the moments as they happen.

You want a photographer who will shoot your wedding because they are genuinely interested in you and your story and telling it through images.

When I photograph your wedding I have you and your story in mind. I'm eternally curious about people and am intuitive by nature and it shows in my images.

I draw my inspiration from documentarians like Dorothea Lange and Henri Cartier-Bresson. For me the meanest thing anyone could say about my images is that they look like every other wedding images.
