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!

Onward with the new blog!

December 28, 2008 at 9:58pm Posted in After Wedding Shoot, Allentown, PA, Venues, Wedding

So everything happens for a reason. I have not been able to get my old posts back but thats ok. We have a new year coming and we are going to start nice and fresh. I will once again be relaunching my attempt for my new years resolution to blog every day!

I was blessed to be able to work at some many cool venues this year. So I have decided over the next week I am going to be posting images from a different Venue every day.

Today’s post is going to feature the awesome Allentown Brew Works. Christie and Joey had their wedding the day before in Allentown, and I decided to invite them to a next day shoot in the streets of Allentown, PA. I walked into the Allentown Brew Works and asked them if I could bring in a couple for a shoot. They were so nice and gave me a tour of the place and said, GO FOR IT!

So we shot in both the Brew Works and then went around the town of Allentown for some more shots. This shoot by accident created one of my favorite photos of the year! You will see it in the slideshow. It is the image of the two of them against a large white wall balanced with a tree on the other side. I almost didn’t take this shot because the shadow that I originally wanted to shoot there had disappeared. I decided to shoot it anyway, and I love it!

By the way, the Allentown Brew Works will be using these images in their upcoming advertisement in Lehigh Valley Style Magazine. Make sure to pick up your copy! I believe it is the January issue.

Enjoy the images! Don’t forget to leave comments!

So here is a funny story….

December 26, 2008 at 12:47am Posted in Uncategorized

As you can tell a lot has changed on this blog over night. Some of that was actually done on purpose… others not so much. I took the time today to completely update the blog site to the new wordpress software and theme software that I use for my blog. In doing so, everything was deleted. Fun right?

So I am in the process for the next few days of completely updating and rebuilding everything to get it looking lovely, fresh, and new. Please stick in there during this process. There are some cool things to come and I can’t wait to get started blogging to you all about it!
