This really has been a great year. I need to thank all of our wonderful clients; your weddings and families have reminded me every day of the same love that I have for my family. We thank you dearly.

Special Thanks to Pictage for all of your support and encouragement that keeps our business running. Thank you Adobe Lightroom and Nikon for your products that make all of our images so easy to make. Also Special thanks to Gavin Seim , Jack Davis, and Ed Pierce and so many other photographers for sharing their knowledge and passion of photography.

I can’t end this without saying thank you to my wife, Ginger . She is the love of my life and the reason why I am so thankful I can wakeup every morning. I hope that our daughter, Melinda, will continue to lookup to you.

Getting To Know You Questionaire

In all my wedding packages I include a “Getting To Know You Session” that started from the help of Justin & Mary Marantz and Davina Fear Thank you all for helping me. The pictures from the first post here of Cheri & Fred were from one of my first GTKY shoots. It was the best and then their wedding was awesome! I don’t think it would have been that great without the help from Justin, Mary & Davina. Thanks again!

I love photographing weddings and being able to capture all those special moments for the new couple. Using Davina’s Couple Questionaire has taken my skill to a whole new level that I wasn’t sure was possible. Dennis Reggie talks about how he has learned over the years to anticipate those special moments and he uses a quick finger on the shutter to capture what he witnesses. Using Davina’s questionaire has helped me to really get to know the couple just like that and it thrills me to pick up my camera for another wedding. Everyone is a little different in what makes them laugh, smile and cry for joy and it is easier now to see all of that carry over into their images. It is so much easier to capture their story of love and everyone can see it too. Thanks, Davina, for all your help and wisdom!

Merry Christmas!

My little brother

Wow, this website management stuff is harder than you think. This is working now. Sorry, I have been trying to keep this updated but transitioning from the old manager to this new WordPress manager was harder than I thought. My bad though, Thanks to the tech for getting me fixed, you rock!

This last weekend was a very happy one. My brother, Joe, got a liitle leave from the Army and they let him visit during his tour in Iraq. My mom came up from Florida to visit with him also so we had an early Christmas. I have never been happier.

Yeah! I have a new Blog

I hope this works better than before. I wanted to be able to show more pictures in the blog. My old one wasn’t letting me upload more than one. Plus this has a spell checker. It takes me a long time to write anything, let alone properly.

My writing skills drive my wife, Ginger, crazy. I love her so much for it. She wants to see me get better and only tries to help. Easy for her since she is a professional writer. I’m just difficult.

Cheri & Fred

Tomorrow I’ll be shooting a wedding at Harry’s Savoy Ballroom http://www.harrys-savoy.com/ and I am really excited for Cheri & Fred.

Getting married 10/25/08. Aren't they cute together?

Celebrations Design Group have everything under control http://www.celebrationsdesigngroup.com/ and I will be taking a lot of pictures. Just keep praying for the rain to stay away.
