To give you a bit of a background, I've been a photographer since 1999, taking photos in the Army of folks running around in the woods. Now I take pictures of folks running around on a dance floor, or crawling across my studio floor in some cases. I'm a wedding photographer, family photographer, small business photographer and an anything photographer. I love to travel. I've shot in England, Iraq,
Qatar, Kuwait, Korea and Italy. I used to be a mountain climber. I've shot weddings all over the country. From San Francisco to Nashville, Miami to Maine. Depending on the location (i.e. tropical or a great party city), I sometimes waive my travel fee. So if you're having a wedding in the Caribbean, shoot me an e-mail! Babies and children are a specialty. I worked as a sports camp counselor for years with Thundercat Sports, so I'm great with kids of all ages. It's never hard to generate a smile. Nothing is better than seeing all the images we took together light up my computer screen. I sometimes edit all night, so if you you get an email from me at 4 a.m., it's just me being crazy. It also means you have some great images on the way. TL;DR I love to travel, I like babies and I'm an awesome photographer.

Education:
I trained as a photojournalist at the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, MD. I then went on to get a degree in Communications and Professional Writing at Fitchburg State University. I got my real-world education in photography shooting thousands of photos for Gatehouse Media, working in every environment imaginable to capture great images.

Working with Orlando:
I'm a laid back, easy going person who can roll with the punches. It's your wedding and you have enough issues to deal with. I make sure your photographer isn't one of them. With my background, I'm comfortable shooting anything quickly, so the pace of a wedding or event never stresses me out. I do my best to be as unobtrusive as possible, but if I need to speak up to get a shot you want or need then I don't hesitate. In the end, you'll barely notice I was there, but you'll have a ton of excellent photos to prove I was.
