Hi, I’m Doug! I’m an award-winning, classically trained photographer with a Master of Photography degree and Professional Photographer certification from Professional Photographers of America. After years behind the camera, I’ve seen plenty of photographic fads come and go. My approach is different: I believe photographs should be created to stand the test of time, not simply follow the latest trend. When the camera is put away, I’m happiest spending time with my wife and our two cats, or being Papa to my three grandchildren.
I got my first camera for Christmas when I was 10 years old, and from that moment on, I was hooked. If I thought something looked interesting, I photographed it. Truth be told, I photographed plenty of things that probably weren’t very interesting, too. More than 40 years ago, that fascination grew into photographing people and weddings, and photography has been part of my life ever since. To this day, my approach remains the same. Create timeless photos that matter.
The bride thought her sister, who lived in Europe, couldn’t make it to the wedding. Everyone else knew she was coming. What they didn’t know was that the sister had switched places with one of the bridesmaids. The moment the bride realized who was actually standing there was absolutely priceless.
As a wedding photographer, those are the moments I live for. You can plan the ceremony, the portraits, and the reception, but you can’t manufacture a reaction like that.
After photographing weddings for many years, I’ve learned that one of the most important parts of my job is simply making people comfortable. I like to joke around, be myself, and help the bride and groom relax and enjoy the experience. Your wedding day already comes with enough stress. You don’t need a photographer making it feel like a photo shoot all day. I want you to have fun, enjoy the people around you, and let me capture those moments as they naturally happen.
Be yourselves. Have fun. I’ll take care of the photographs.
I don’t believe your wedding day should feel like one long photo session. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but I’ll also give you room to laugh, be silly, and just enjoy being together.
Want goofy pictures? Absolutely. Want to try something completely different? Let’s do it. I’m always willing to experiment and find creative ways to give you photographs that aren’t like everyone else’s.
It’s your day. Let’s make it fun, relaxed, and unmistakably yours.
Dad seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time is one of my favorite moments to photograph. You never know what his reaction will be, and thats what makes it so special.
