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! ;)
Elizabeth and Brandon came down to Wilmington from New York City to get their marriage license. We met in downtown Wilmington and drove over to the Brandywine Zoo. They are very non-traditional and said they hated the cheesy posed pictures…well I guess they booked the right wedding photographer!
Their wedding is at Nassau Valley Vineyards. These are the images they chose to be displayed at their reception! Their wedding should be very fun!

Heather and Dustin contacted me about their wedding back in February. When I got back from a trip to San Diego I headed down to Virgina Beach. It had been the 1st time being back in VA Beach since my wife and I moved to Delaware. We did a Trash the Dress with an old dress that Heather picked up from Salvation Army before their wedding. Since then Heather, Dustin and I have become pretty good friends….and we had a blast on their wedding day! Their wedding started out with Heather and the girls getting ready at Cavalier Hotel , the ceremony was at Norfolk Botanical gardens and then moving back to Cavalier for the reception.
Norfolk Botanical Gardens is very special to me because I used to go to the gardens 2-3 times a week when living in Va Beach. My Navy sched was crazy…so I would have days off during the week. I’d walk around for hours taking pictures of flowers, butterflies and other types on animals. Very relaxing. This was where I decide to follow my childhood dreams of being a professional photographer!!!
Cavalier Hotel was built in 1927 and is used for weddings and special events.
Gotta get the dress shots!

and booze…
Where is my limo???
Wonderful white roses.
Groomzilla!!! Jk…Dustin.

Hey….who is that guy???
Sorry Heather….I couldn’t resist!
Loved this walkway and light!
Loved the glow of the back light!
Gotta play with the selective focus.
1927?
Thanks Heather and Dustin!

Erin and Clayton hired me to document their wedding with a reception at Bear Trap Dunes. The day started off with some rainy weather and a lost limo. The lost limo through the whole schedule off for the day! I wished that I had more time to spend with the bridal party and Erin and Clayton…but that is the way it works sometimes.

So many choices!
Joanna and Ryan came to me by way of my Aunt’s cousin and a conversation about wedding photographers. Joanna’s friend had recommended that she check out “this guy’s” website…Rob Nicholson of Humbled Eyes Photography. That is the way it works sometimes. Two teachers chit chatting in the teacher’s lounge. Come to find out I use to hang out with Ryan back in my college years before I left for the Navy.
Well now I will be shooting their Greenville Country Club wedding in October!
Here are some pics from their engagement pictures at Valley Gardens in Wilmington.
