Frequently Asked Questions

Do you bring an assistant to weddings?: Yes, I bring an assistant photographer to every wedding.

I put my heart into every wedding shoot no matter how short or long and want your images to be as beautiful as you do -- if not more. I love what I do and feel lucky to be doing it. I take pride in my work and am dedicated, unobtrusive, easy to get along with and fun.
