I believe that a wedding is one of the most special and memorable days in a couple's life and deserves to be documented by a photographer of exceptional visual talent.

My goal is to provide superior, heirloom quality wedding photography that captures the soul and spirit of that special day, with all it's subtle and special moments, and is also a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the bride and groom from the early preparations for the wedding, through the moment they say I do, on into the whirlwind reception afterwards.

As I create only custom wedding photography, I do not have any "standard packages". Each wedding is tailored to the couple's discriminating needs. But if you need a price reference, here are some options to help you decide:

$1600* - For both my services and that of my assistant, up to 8-hours of continuous coverage, all the images burned to photo CD's in both Color and B&W, with a web browser preview, delivered to you. You can then pick your images and bring the photo CD to a quality lab for your proofs. Additional hours above 8-hours are billed @ $200 each.

The first option is perfect for couples on a budget and that have the focus to sort proof prints and get their own enlargements from a quality lab as their budget allows.

"VETERANS" We will provide a discount of $200 for veterans and current military personal. This includes the Coast Guard and National Guard.

Many "Wedding Photography Mills" will give their prospective clients a low initial price to photograph the wedding, but excessively mark up the reprint prices and will not turn over the negatives. The high reprint charges are where they make their money. This is something to be aware of when comparing on price alone. I offer only the work on this website as my portfolio. The use of expensive mailers and sample prints is outdated for the 21st century. The web allows me the flexibility to change imagery and post new edits from recent weddings. The current work shown here is representative of a good, clean, photojournalistic style. I will not copy another creative's style, nor will I offer heavily digitally manipulated final prints. No gimmicks, just fun-filled pictures.

If you would like to give me a call, I can answer any questions you may have. I will be able to provide you with valuable information as you begin the selection process for a photographer. As I take in only a select number of weddings per year, I prefer the intial contact/interview to take place via phone. This allows me to determine if: One, We have chemistry together and can have fun on this very important and stress filled day, as the three of us are going to spend a lot of time together !, and Two, That the couple is seriously committed to my style of creative photography that really captures all the important and subtle moments of this great day.

If a couple is just looking for a photographer because it's "something you're supposed to have", as I've been informed of by several prospective clients, I will pass on offering my services.

As I tell everyone, even if I do not photograph your wedding, I am willing to share information and ideas. There are far too many pitfalls in choosing a stranger to record this once in a lifetime event. My work indicates my ability to create photography that will be appreciated for generations to come.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book any requested date, with the balance due (as a bank check or money order) on the day of the wedding. All wedding packages subject to sales tax if applicable. Delivery is in Syracuse, N.Y. with shipping to out of area locales by Federal Express, billed via the couple's account and/or credit card.
