My goal is ensure that you receive the best photography possible on your day. I work closely with my clients to make certain that I can create images that reflect who they are. I am with you from the beginning to the end and I value our relationship. I welcome a limited number of weddings each year and accept new clients on a first come/first serve basis up to 12 months in advance.

clare & trent: sadaquada golf club – utica new york wedding photographer

Clare & Trent are doctoral students at Emory University which just so happens to be where they met, you see Clare is an upstate New York girl and Trent is all Texan. St. John’s Church in Utica is where they chose to exchange their vows and the day’s festivities were celebrated at the Sadaquada Golf Club (which happens to be one of the oldest golf clubs in the nation). We set up photobooth at the reception in order to get some fun shots of all of the guests, Clare & her mom wanted an autumn flavor to the images and they did a great job locating some fabric that really fit the bill.

Sisters.

I absolutely love the look on her face (she was a singer in the band)

Clare’s mom “raising the roof”!!

I would like to give a shout out to my friends John and Caity for all of their help at the wedding!

another hot one!

My friend John & I get the opportunity to shoot with each other occasionally over the course of the summer but with each of us getting busier with each passing season those opportunities are getting fewer and farther between, but I always enjoy it when we do!

This is how I found the guys, just a few hours before the wedding! ;)

This may have had something to do with the situation above.









She wouldn’t sit still long enough for me to get a good picture!

hot & sexy in the 585!

Back in July I had the distinct pleasure of shooting a wedding in Rochester with my super awesome friend Tammy Swales. We work so well together because we bring the heat and the sexy! ;)

Here are some of my favorite images from the day…













St. Mary’s Mega Raffle

Last night was St. Mary’s Academy Annual Mega Raffle; which is the school’s biggest fundraiser of the year. I donated a portrait session for the auction and offered to set up a photobooth for the guests as well; it took a while for people to trickle in and warm up to it but once they did there was a steady stream. All of the images are posted here (password is: megaraffle) and a portion of the sales will be donated back to the school. These photobooths are proving to be a big hit at all sorts of functions (weddings, holiday parties, birthday parties); if you are interested in one for your next event feel free to contact me.

I am so far behind on blogging, so I’ll skip the verbiage (for now) & get right to the hotness!
