Yes, we have all the proper coverages for professional wedding photographers through Lockton Affinity. I can submit a certificate of insurance at any time to your venue if they don’t already have our name on file.

We use exclusively the best Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses, ensuring the top quality of imagery. All of our equipment is pro quality and the highest recommended for wedding photographers around the world.

My Favorite Moment to
Capture at a Wedding... 

“The quiet interactions in between. The hidden hand hold, the gentle kiss, the sweet tears of joy shared between the bride and her 95 year old grandmother. The moments that fill up my chest or make me cry."

My Favorite Beverage...Red Wine & Coffee

When I’m not photographing weddings, you can find me sipping coffee (or red wine in front of my computer working on this Photography business (aka “passion”) of mine. 

SInging broadway songs at the top of my lungs

I think my personal favorite pastime is singing at the top of my lungs with my kids Luke (14) & Alexandra (13) in the car on road trips and watching my children perform living-room Broadway shows with their karaoke microphones.
