Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Through the years I learned how exciting it is to capture special moments in people’s lives. Great moments of emotion are the most important times in life. That is what I strive to capture and turn into art. Growing up in Strongsville, Ohio I was immersed in a community that supported the arts and allowed me to blossom creatively. I attended the Cleveland Institute of Art where I fine-tuned my skills by working with the school newspaper as a photojournalist. While at the Institute of Art I was invited to come to Walt Disney World as an Event Photographer. I accepted the invitation, moved to Florida, and never looked back. As a photographer with Disney Fairy Tale Weddings, I photographed over 1500 weddings in a 4- year period. During this time I began to understand how important fine art photography is to the client. This experience allowed me to develop a unique mix of traditional, documentary and stylized shooting. Plus those images your mother-in-law has to have! Now married, my wife Jill and I enjoy spending our time outdoors, with family, friends and our Westie Beatrice. My commitment to family is paramount. I understand why documenting life’s precious moments is so significant. I feel very honored to be a part of the birthday of a child, an intimate wedding, or a 25th class reunion as a photographer. It reminds me that life is a gift and the relationships that we create are our greatest blessings. I look forward to entering into your life and capturing those timeless moments!
