Yes, poses and Family portraits are important. They play a role in completing your story. The reality is though, my main focus is to preserve your special day through my art as it slowly unfolds through my documentary style of photography.
I live in the South Florida area. I grew up in Miami and now live in a city called Deerfield Beach. Travel? Did someone say travel? Yes, I will travel to document your special day.
I have been a Photographer full time for 15 years and to date, I have photographed as a main shooter over 300 weddings.
I love to play with light and challenge the vision of the composition for a photo. As I look at a room and take a photo, I imagine that photo in your wedding album as a part of your story. My heart skips a beat when I see shadows or a ray of light that I can use. I crave emotions and when I see a moment slowly unfolding before my eyes, I am reminded on how lucky I am to do the job that I do while I raise the camera to freeze that moment in time.
A little dramatic I must admit , but please understand all jokes aside…I love my job.
I take the responsibility of documenting your day very seriously. I’m funny (at least my dog thinks so), I’m caring, I have a way to calm the nerves of a bride or a family member and I value moments. Real moments that I will preserve through a photo that one day you will look at and be transported back in time to that exact moment.
I offer different options for different types of weddings. My prices start at 4200 and go up to 6500. Average couple spends about $5500 from my Wedding Collections.
To keep by business costs down, I do not own a studio. However, I would love to meet you at your home, a coffee shop, or a quiet place that's near the both us so I can hear all about your plans!
If you ever want to get a chuckle out of me, I am a sucker for Chuck Norris Jokes:
“When the Boogie Man goes to bed, he checks under the bed for Chuck Norris”
“Chuck Norris does not have near death experiences, death has near Chuck Norris experiences.”
“Chuck Norris knows Victoria’s Secret”
Very corny I must admit, but I am always down for a great laugh.
My choice of camera is Nikon. No need to get in depth of what brand is best; that is what I always used and always will. I love my Nikon camera and lens. I have had the honor to attend numerous workshops and get mentored by some pretty incredible Photographers both local and nation wide. My favorite colors are purple, red and olive. I love to watch documentaries, I have an incredible love for travel and I love to cook. My first love is my family and my secondary is Photography. My style tends to lean me on a documentary style of photography. That came out of the kids hating to have their photograph taken. To this day when I bring out the camera, they still roll their eyes. I learned to do it discreetly and go in a corner and observe. This style allows me to tell a story rather than having photographs that are posed. Having a family, I realize that it is important to document moments. That is where my awareness comes in. When I see a bride has her grandmother alive, I make sure that I photograph them together. I lost my Grandmother many years ago and to this day I still miss her. She got to see me through my youth and my adult life. She saw me graduate high school, get married and become a mother. Those photographs I have of her are so precious to me. This is what I have in the back of my mind when I see that grandma is there for her grand daughter's wedding and I do my best to capture that. That's just one example on how much I regard my job as a Photographer.
