Welcome to the Journal!

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 had a Nassau Valley Wedding in Lewes, Delaware. They were planning a destination wedding from New York City so we met up only a couple times. We were able to meet up for some engagement pictures in Wilmington. After we met up and hung out for a bit at the Zoo…I knew their wedding would be a blast!

Hotel Blue is one of the coolest hotels in Southern Delaware!

Bayberry Flowers did another amazing job! (They did my wedding too.)

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.

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!

I met Carrie at Emily and Geoff’s Bethany Beach wedding in May. She stood out because of her amazing “Marching style” dancing! She had me laughing so hard. Well two day after I posted Emily and Geoff’s online movie, she contacted me and asked me to shoot her wedding! I was very excited, not only to shoot her wedding day but to see some more of her killer dancing skills. As the details came in about location and venue…I became nervous. It was in Bluemont, VA and the reception was in a barn…Yikes! Every preconceived notion and stereotype about her wedding was destroyed when I showed up! Carrie and Damon’s families were so much fun and I believe I was adopted several times!

Carrie had a little case of the “wedding day jitters.”

Wedding cake

Their cake was small but was awesome!!!

Damon’s brothers were the groomsman and flew in from England.

The reception was at Foggy Bottom Vineyard (soon to be Bluemont Vineyards.)

It had amazing views and was very peaceful.

After the ceremony…I only had 20 minutes to shoot some pictures with Carrie and Damon.

They were good sports as I briskly lead them around the property.

Damon’s mom and Carrie’s mom were “cutting the rug” throughout the night!

There were some pretty wild dancing going on. I even saw Carrie do a bit of “marching!”

One of the Blues Brothers even showed up!

I just liked the composition of this shot.

Was playing around with slower shutter speeds and some people walked in front of the camera. Sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time!
