I am an eclectic photographer. "Eclectic" means deriving ideas, style, and taste from a broad and diverse range of sources. With his keen eye and great technical skill his work exemplifies the fine art of photography. He has the gift of capturing images in perfect composition instantaneously.

I offer a long line of photographic needs from my own art to helping clients create their own through my eyes.
In Wedding photography it's about spontaneity and knowing where to be mentally, for that creative process to work.

Most post production work is ready within 48 hours. For most weddings the turn around after selecting the proofs is usually 7 days or less for final editing!
Clients have the ability to go online and purchase images (various sizes) to albums, coffee table books, etc
