about the artist:
Thank you visiting my website and seeing a small sampling of my work. As you have seen, I LOVE weddings and working with brides and grooms. I also love variety. My photography artistically blends elements of photojournalism, classic, elegance, fashion, and emotion to create compelling and dramatic images that will be treasured for a lifetime. One of the greats in the fashion world, Claudio Basso, New York fashion photographer, and my mentor defines my work as "very painterly, he is like an 'Old World Dutch Master.'"
Photography inspires me to create art; and the passion I have for my work and the people I am honored to work with truly set the stage for outstanding photographs. My passion and keen eye for those minute details and artistic styling are setting new standards in wedding photography. This unique ability to capture these special moments with artistic and heart-touching photographs will forever remain an icon of your wedding day.
In addition to my talents, my clients tell me over and over that I bring a real sense of peace and ease to the stressful wedding scene allowing brides, families, and the wedding parties to be themselves, have lots of fun, and create the most beautiful photographs from their weddings.
Photographer and colleague David James Osborn states that:
- "You are in my estimation one of the best wedding photographers. Your imagery is both reminiscent of Joe Buissink's photojournalism and Phillip Stewart Charis portraiture, a nearly impossible and definitively improbable blending of two distinct and independently defined genres, with a Southern Charm either would be hard pressed to match. The spirit of personification, your personal relationship with the subjects at hand, illustrated in your work exceeds either of these masters."
