It's the little moments that create the big picture.

Those brief seconds are what I'm after - a quick laugh between a couple, a speechless look from a bride's mother, a quiet moment as the groom gathers his composure - that when put together show a complete picture as they unfold. And the only way to get those moments is to be there for them. I like all the little details that go into a wedding because they are a reflection of the couple. But you are much more than your shoes, and so I vow not to miss a proud father's teary eyed smile as he sees his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time or a grandmother holding her grandson tight as they spin on the dance floor because I'm off spending 30 minutes of your wedding day photographing the bride's shoes. My main focus are those human relationships and real moments that are there waiting to be found throughout the day. And after all, it's the people that make a party great.

A little about me : I'm easy-going and don't take myself too seriously. Because of that people tend to let their guard down when they're around me, which makes it easy for me to find the authentic person who too often gets lost behind cheesy grins and uncomfortable poses in many photo sessions. I love to feature the vibrancy, fun and energy of life in my photos. So, if you're looking for a photo of your child standing in front of a tree, I may not be your guy. But if you're up for photos of them climbing that tree, let's talk!

I also can't seem to sit still for more than 30 seconds at a time. It's true...people get tired just watching me. I'm always on the move. And with my approach to photography my feet are as important as my eyes, ensuring that I'm there as your story unfolds, and not after it's happened.

I love to photograph real people - regardless of age, race, sexual preference, religion or body type. All I ask is that you relax and be yourself.

Be you.Be real.Be comfortable.Have fun.

Rockford, IL and midwest wedding photography, specializing in candid, documentary photography.

Name your price for wedding photography. (limited time offer for 2009 weddings.)

In a tight economy, couples may choose based on the pictures of the presidents in the price of the package. Your wedding photos are the only thing left after the cake is eaten and the tuxes are returned. Years from now is when the value of those memories increases. I want you to decide based on your photographers personality and the quality of their work, not that you saved $50 on a line item purchase. Now I can't except the college students listing on Craigs List as competitive, but if you find another professional photographers package that seems to fit your needs, I will make accommodations....
