Link to Why Hire a Certified Professional Photographer from the Professional Photographers of America PPA
My Story
Please take a moment and imagine waking up on the morning of your big day without any worries about the person you chose to capture your special moment! Why should you be confident that we can make you look your very best?
I am a local artist, wedding, and portrait photographer with over 15 years of professional experience. In 2021, I became a Certified Professional Photography. I did that you you my future clients, because becoming a CPP has allowed me to sharpen my skills. So I could provide you with an exceptional experience from start to finish. I focus on people and organizations who want high-quality professional photography, those who don’t want to settle for just anyone with a camera! My wedding and portraiture sessions produce art heirlooms that last a lifetime! It is my mission to capture all the special moments of your life and tell that story visually. I will capture all the love, excitement and laughter that will become the memories of your life. One of my client said: “Behind the camera, you will find, a friendly and patient personality with the ability to make everyone comfortable in front of the camera.” With my lighting design experience I can overcome all lighting challenges that may arise. Finally, I shoot primary with professional digital Canon cameras along with flash and studio strobes. In fact, often I bring the “studio” to you!
Still looking for a wedding photographer? I offer couples, a complimentary Engagement Session and an 8X10 gift print with no-obligation! This is to see if I am the right photographer for you.
How I Work
During our initial consultations, we never try to hard sell you, instead we will have a friendly conversation to find out your needs. It’s an opportunity for each of us to ask questions and find out more about each other. There is never any obligation for my consultations and they are always free. You may want to interview other photographers and that is fine with us. For us, it is important that you are happy with your selection. Even if we are not your final choice for photography! I hope that you will give me the privilege to earn your business, and in the end, it would be an honor to be part of your special moments.
Only after you decide that I am the right photographer for you will select or create a package that works for you. I ask that you sign an agreement with a retainer fee to hold your date. We will schedule times to meet again prior to your wedding. This could be at an engagement session, venue walk-thru, or both. We will finalize any last minute details and discuss any special photo requests you have at our last meeting. When your day arrives, you can relax and enjoy it, while we capture all the important moments and details.
I will post a sneak peek on our website within 24-48 hours. About four weeks after the wedding, you will receive a link to your online album. When your photos are completely edited, I’ll set up a time to get together to view proofs and if chosen, make image selections for your album. I’ll always shoot a large number of photos to ensure that you have lots to choose from for the package you've selected. You can make your selections online, or schedule a meeting with us. Whatever works best for you!
