Your wedding day, your child's bar/bat mitzvah, or special event is an opportunity for me to express my love of story telling through photography. It's what makes me most happy and I think it shows in my work.

 

I’m based in New York City, but I can travel anywhere to work. I’ve photographed destination weddings in Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo, Historic Boston, Pennsylvania, and the Dominican Republic.

 

As a kid I started out with an Kodak 110 Instamatic (strange name - there was nothing “instant” about it) taking pictures of flowers in Riverside, California. Years later I rediscovered photography in college in a graphic design curriculum.

I found photography to be an exciting blend of art, technology, chemistry, optics, mathematics, and narrative. I fell in love with LIGHT - the essence of photography. Soft light. Hard light. Dramatic light. Clean light. Dirty light. The different tones, hues, and emotions of light. Subsequently, I earned a photojournalism degree to pursue my love of visual storytelling with the camera.

 

If you have questions about any of this photography stuff, want to book me for your event, or just want to say "Hi!" please contact me by email:
