Your wedding is an important ritual that marks the beginning of a new life together. Everything from the engagement announcement to the dress rehearsal to the actual wedding service and then all the pictures at the following reception will be cherished moments that you will enjoy for the rest of your life together. This is not the time to let "Uncle Charlie snap a few pics" just because he has a new cool looking camera. This is an occasion that requires someone to record your wedding day in an elegant manner by either film or digital format. Basically, you are hiring a professional photographer to capture and preserve the emotions shared with your new life mate, your family and all the friends that you have chosen to be a part of your wedding day.

With over 40 years of experience in both wedding and portrait photography, I can help you preserve these memories that will last more than a lifetime and will be cherished by you, your children and your grand children. My camera equipment includes the Mamiya RB67, the time-tested industry standard in 120 roll film format with negatives that are over 4 times larger than those from a standard 35 mm camera to ensure sharp, crystal clear prints up to 16 X 20 inches in size. In January, 2011 I upgraded my digital camera to the new Nikon D7000 which boasts a super fast 6 frames per second (fps), 16.1 megapixel recording format and an unbelievable shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second for remarkably sharp prints up to 30 X 40 inches. Clients have the option of choosing their photo locations or using any of my suggested locations, including an on-site studio with a choice of backdrops.
