My way of doing weddings started in the 80's as young eighth grade science teacher at the 4000 pupil, grades 7 to 12, Robinson Secondary School.  Besides teaching science, I  became the director of yearbook photography.  This meant training a group of students to cover the myriad of activities in this huge school.  This turned out to be a very large job.  There were many times that I had to go do the shooting.  Teachers, parents and students saw my photos.  A teacher asked if I would do her daughter's wedding. 

That was about a million photographs ago, with many yearbooks, hundreds of sporting events and over five hundred weddings along the way. I am retired now and weddings are now the centerpiece of my weeks!!!

I prefer my digital Nikons and can use film, if needed.  I have always used multiple cameras when working to avoid possible errors or equipment failure. All important scenes or events are captured with a second camera when possible.

Included with your pictures is a free,framing-ready, Adobe created, composite of the wedding. This is 13 by 19 inches and is archival. Some of them are in my galleries.

I love to shoot and consider a wedding as a wonderful event with its own history to be recorded in detail.  My goal is to fully cover your wedding but in the most unobtrusive way possible.  Enjoy the galleries and call. I live just a block west of George Mason University's Field House on Ox Road (route 123).

I also shoot every sport and love doing family events!
