Weddings are not about photography.
Weddings are about two people joining their lives together.
I simply document the wedding celebration with my camera.

A wedding day celebrates the joining of two lives in Christ surrounded by family and friends, and my goal is to create photographs of unscripted moments in a day abounding with ceremonies, schedules, and plans. To achieve this, I remain as unobtrusive and inconspicuous as possible, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the day. Besides some relaxed portraits, none of my photography during the day is staged. The resulting work. whether in my portfolio or among my latest weddings, is a subtle and unique documentary vision of your wedding.

One of the best compliments I receive about photographing a wedding is, ‘I didn’t know you were there.’ I’m not there as an organizer or guest. I want to be invisible so you and your guests can enjoy yourselves without the pressure or interference of mugging for a camera. I don’t even use a flash unless it’s absolutely necessary (such as dancing), and even then it’s not on my camera.

I’ve been photographing Catholic weddings in New England and throughout the country for over 15 years. My photography work for my diocesan magazine has won over 20 Catholic Media Association awards.
