press and published

While my foremost delight is the satisfaction of my clients, recognition from industry peers and the broader community has been deeply rewarding. 

My work has graced wedding magazines, been highlighted in national advertorials, and even earned me a spot among the PDN Top Ten Wedding Photographers worldwide. I've created a school for photographers, been invited to be an ambassador for beloved brands, spoken at various conventions, and secured multiple other notable distinctions.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to receive numerous accolades & press features.

It is possibly the biggest honor of my career to be placed among such an extraordinary list of photographers.

The Explorers of Light program began in 1995 to celebrate and highlight the work of outstanding professional imaging creators. For more than two decades the Explorers have been inspiring and educating photographers of all levels. Today, the group is comprised of dozens of the most influential photographers in the world, each a master of their creative specialty.

In 2018, I was named a Canon Explorer of Light. From the Canon USA website:
