My journal highlights my personal and professional adventures as a full-time wedding photojournalist! I absolutely love being a wedding photographer! My "job" is to hang out with awesome couples on the biggest day of their lives! Throughout my career I've photographed city weddings with 300 guests and small intimate Riu Ochos Rios Jamaica destination weddings with about 30 guests! My wedding photography studio is based out of Lewes Delaware, although I've traveled all over the world including Kingston Jamaica and Montego Bay Jamaica to photograph two events with Prince Charles!!!
So if you want to hang out on your wedding day, please drop me a line...even if you don't have a date set, wedding reception site picked or even if there is no fat rock on your finger! ;)
Well, after wrapping up a very, very busy year, it’s time for a well needed vacation! Kim and I actually met in San Diego while I was serving in the Navy and she was living out there. Her family still resides in San Diego and we come out to visit them 2-3 times a year.
You would think she would have gotten used to the camera by now?
She tends to ignore me a lot!
Imperial Beach.
We actually had our 1st date at Imperial Beach.

I’m on a mini-vacation in San Diego, before I head further west for a Hawaii wedding. Figured I’d finally post some pictures of our Caribbean honeymoon! We enjoyed a week cruise starting in Barbados and wrapped it all up with a week stay at the Ritz-Carlton in Jamaica. Our cruise was from Barbados to St. Lucia, Antigua, San Juan, St. Thomas and Dominica. Then 7 days later, 3 shades darker and 20lbs heavier…we flew over to Jamaica to continue our honeymoon!
We got in late and stayed at a hotel the night before meeting up with the Carnival Destiny.
We woke up for breakfast and this view!
Kim was loving every minute!
Newlyweds!
All aboard…
St. Lucia was our first port of call.
For $1 you can pose with a snake on the side of the road.
This was another guy down the road. Not sure what was more scary…the snake or the guy!
Antiguan kids play at school.
This guy was the “big boss man” of the private beach we went to. From horse back riding, to wave runner, to drink…this was the man to talk to.
The private beaches are more controlled in regards to peddlers. This was one of the only people that approached us selling jewelry. He was nice and not pushy!
San Juan’s doors are beautiful.
Propaganda on the streets.
St. Thomas was wonderful!
On our way to the Barbados airport…to head over to Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Fireworks for the 4th!
Room service at the Ritz…this is what a honeymoon should be all about.

Alicia and Mike had a wonderful Congress Hall wedding! After leaving my home in Lewes, Delaware and experiencing a relaxing trip on the Cape May Ferry….(and a couple wrong turns…cough cough) I made it to Congress Hall in Cape May. Alicia and Mike decided to take pictures before the ceremony, which is becoming more popular these days. After 3 days of snow and rain….the weather was surprisingly perfect with a nice warm sun setting to the west. We explored the streets of Cape May, New Jersey in order to create some ART! Mike expressed to me that the past weddings he has been in have resulted in a continued overall “dislike” of the typical wedding photographer. I assured him that he will have a great time….as I’m not the typical wedding photographer. Knowing this, I made the bride and groom pictures fun, short and sweet…as to break his stereotype of wedding photographers. Alicia was a ham and enjoyed every second!
95% of what I do is wedding photography. The other 3% is editorial work for Delaware Today and Coastal Style Magazine. The last 2% is dedicated to my Fine Art Photography. Since weddings are slowing down for the season I’m doing some Art Shows.
So come on out!
Here are some of my creations:
