Life moves pretty fast!

TweetIf you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Ferris Bueller said this. More importantly, the late John Hughes wrote, directed and produced the movie. This quote reminds me of all that I am lucky to have, a loving and caring wife, two adorable, smart, funny and healthy children, [...]

A small step forward toward video

TweetI have always loved movies! And ever since I have been a professional photographer, I look at them differently. I notice angles, composition and lighting. So it comes as no surprise that I always wanted to learn video and even possibly make a movie someday. We all know that you just cannot take a giant [...]

Giving the beauty of you!

TweetA few years ago, I was introduced to boudoir photography by a client of mine. She had asked me, as her wedding photographer, if I ever had done a session like that or would do it for her. I was happy to oblige! That was the start of quite a few sessions I have done [...]

Last Dance

TweetInevitably, there will be a last dance at every wedding reception. I will be there for this last dance at every wedding I photograph. For me, it is a perfect ending for how I cover weddings, to tell a story of your wedding day from beginning to end. Now, how the last dance is done varies from [...]

The most important hat I wear

TweetAs a photographer and business owner, I wear several hats. Artist. Salesman. Graphic Artist. Accountant. Webmaster. There are many others as well. But the hat I think matters the most is of Historian. We record history with our photographs. It could be a wedding, portrait, landscape, newspaper assignment or a walk in the park. All the photographs [...]

Memories and photographs

TweetI think these two go hand in hand. Great memories are best remembered through photographs and photographs allow us to remember great memories. As a photographer, I’m fortunate to be doing this for a career and for my clients. But as a dad, husband, son and brother, I’m even more fortunate to do this for [...]

Professionals and their equipment

TweetFrom time to time, I get asked at weddings, in consultations, on assignment for a newspaper, etc. which camera am I using. I kindly tell them the make and model. Then I say ‘It is just a tool that helps me take a photograph which I created with my vision (light, angle, composition, etc.)’. My [...]

Photographing for clients…but also for myself

TweetI started in photography doing it for myself first. Even though I have come as a professional to photograph weddings and portraits for clients, or newspaper assignments for editors, I still shoot for myself. I constantly push myself to try a new technique, lighting, post-processing, different camera formats, etc. Most of my ideas come from [...]

The importance of connecting with your photographer

Tweet There are many qualities which factor into your decision to choose your wedding photographer. Experience, price, products and customer service are some of the more important attributes we must have as a photographer. Perhaps the most important one to have is your connection with the photographer. You are choosing them to document the most important [...]
