It's About Your Story

I work primarily in a photojournalistic style. Most of the couples who hire me do so because they are seeking an alternative to the traditional portrait approach, and they like what I do for them. My passion lies in documenting your activities with little interference to tell the story of your day by showing the activities, interactions and emotions taking place among the people involved.

Your pictures will be unique because they'll show the touching moments that occur throughout the day between you and your fiance and your friends and families. You'll see the natural smiles, frowns, laughs, hugs and tears that can't be captured in a series of posed pictures. And you'll be able to relive your wedding for years to come in photos that not only depict the activities but also reveal the atmosphere and emotions felt throughout the day.

I do, however, photograph the couple, bridal party and family groups, known as the "formals," in a more traditional portrait style as a courtesy to the bride and groom. I will also do a fun session with the bride and groom and even the whole wedding party so long as everyone is actively involved in these sessions. In fact, I'm always willing to try any specific poses you request. I have clients every year who hire me for my photojournalistic style, but who have specific requests for posed pictures, and I have fun doing them.

I studied photography at Germain School of Photography in New York City, was a staff photographer for the Ledger-Enquirer Newspapers in Columbus, Georgia, and the chief photographer for Southern Tier Sports World magazine in Binghamton, New York. My photos have been published in Kodak and Audubon calendars, National Wildlife and Newsweek magazines and in a number of publications around the world. And I photographed my first wedding in 1975.

I am centrally located between Binghamton, Ithaca, Elmira and Cortland in upstate New York in Newark Valley, which is just north of Owego.

I hope to hear from you soon.
