A little bit about me.

Finalist: 2008 Photographer of the Year - International Competition

I love my job! What more can I say? I love the feeling of capturing that perfect split second moment of emotion. I love the feeling of creating an image from a vision in my head, and nailing it! I love seeing the reaction of the couples as they see the images for the first time. Its amazing. I am truly blessed to have the privilege of being a photographer.

I actually fell into this profession very much by accident. I was the owner of a music promotion and management company when I was 18 and studying at Penn State. I started to photograph the bands so they would have images for their press kits. I was hooked. I soon was shooting everything that I could get my hands on. Soon after I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to photograph my first wedding. It was the wedding of a high school classmate of mine and a childhood friend. I owe everything to Josh and Jen for giving me the opportunity to photograph their wedding.

The very next year we sold out for the season! Since then the business has grown into something I could have never imagined. It has allowed me to shoot in locations all across the country and soon the world! I have had the privilege to shoot along side of and learn from some of the best photographers in the world. These photographers include: Australian photographers Jerry Ghionis and Yervant, Joe Buissink, David Beckstead, John Michael Cooper (Altf), the Bebbs, and more.

I also have recently been invited to be an instructor at several of the PhotogShootOut workshops in front of over 70 professional photographers, as well as invited to become a member of the Circle of 8.

My work is always expanding. At every wedding or portrait session I try to do things that I have never done before.

When I am not photographing something, I love anything to do with movies and music. As a former performer I am very passionate about music. I love a lot of bands that people probably have never heard of. Movies to me are one of the most magical things on earth. I love seeing just about any movie that I can put my hands on. Some of you have seen my movie theater in my house with the 120" screen. It is definitely my favorite room in the house!

My next passion I will be exploring soon is traveling and seeing the world. I can't wait to get started.

Above all I love to have a great time every time I go out shooting. My fun and friendly style is something that my couples love, mixing photojournalism with fashion.

Thanks again for checking out the website!

Philadelphia Photog Shootout

Hello everyone
Some of you have wondered why I have been in Philadelphia twice this past week shooting. Well here is one of them! I was once again one of the ‘instructors’ at the PhillyPhotogShootOut event held in center city Philadelphia. This is the same group I worked with in Atlantic City a few months back. YES!, It was bitter cold! I believe about 16 degrees? You don’t even notice it though when you are out having fun shooting. At least that is what I tell myself :). Below you will see a video featuring some of my work by the very talented Aubert Films.

You will also see my photos below.

I am very close to saying that Philly is growing on me. Now I just have to find a way to get there without the hassle of driving! Also keep an eye out for another post probably tomorrow from my other day shooting in Philly with the Circle of 8 which I am a part of. Enjoy!

Weekender Model of the Year - Bar Louie @ Mohegan Sun! Wilkes Barre

WOW!!! Did I have a great time at todays shoot at Bar Louie at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Wilkes Barre, PA. I was shooting the winner of the model of the year male and female from the Weekender. I also mixed in models Ashley and Dawn into the mix. Phil was a lucky man on this shoot with three beautiful ladies posing with him!

We had the help of the following sponsors for this shoot and I can’t be more thankful for their participation!
Bar Louie - Venue
US Tuxedo - Phil’s Tuxedo, located in the front of the Genetti in downtown Wilkes Barre, PA
Place One - Provided all of the beautiful dresses for the girls, 6 dresses in total. Thank you so much! They are located on Main st in Wilkes Barre, right around the corner from the Cinema.
Sapphire Salon & Spa - Provided the hair and makeup for all three ladies! Thank you so much for coming into this project in such short notice. You knocked it out of the park! They are located in Pittston as well as Moosic.

Here is just one of the shots from the shoot. I am so anxious to get them all done. The first round of pre-edits are all done, and tomorrow (Thursday) will start all of the heavy edits. I will be pulling out all of the stops on this editing project. I am so happy with how everything turned out! The entire shoot was shot with one light (and some times a fill video light).
Enjoy and definitely keep checking back for all of the photos! and…. Video!

Philadelphia Photographers Unit!

I wanted to post this video shot by Darrell Aubert of Aubert Films. That is the company that we recommend for all of your videography needs. I will be working with him on an upcoming video project that I am very excited about!

Anyways, this video is from a photographers get together that was held recently in Philadelphia. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it to this one, but this is a group of photographers that I have worked with before and are all a blast! Sit back and enjoy a little inside look at some of us as we do our thing!
