If you've found your way here, you're probably looking for a wedding photographer. Congratulations on getting married! Please, read on:

A month following your wedding, after family and friends have gone home, the honeymoon is over and there's a solitary piece of cake in the freezer, you'll be left with three things:

+ A partner for life
+ Memories of your big day
+ Photographs

I can't really help you on the partner or memories end of the deal, but I can help you with the photographs.

I am a professional, full-time photographer. Not a student, and not a hobbyist trying to subsidize a new-equipment addiction. There is no 'day job' to distract me in my work.

In addition to weddings, much of what I do centers around covering news and sports for magazines, newspapers and publishers in Arizona and quite literally, the world over. Editors count on me time after time to get in and make beautiful pictures that tell a story. You can too.

At a wedding, there are no do-overs and there are no second chances, and my experience allows me to work within these parameters. Places of worship and ballrooms are seldom ideal shooting locations, but so much of your day takes place in them. My life is lived in non-ideal shooting locations.

When booking a wedding photographer, you should look for someone who can be trusted to not only shoot the wedding, but to be there to help you plan before the big day, and be there for you after the day ends. What good are the pictures without the service? Conversely, what good is there in having photos that aren't up to your standards?
