I am a specialty photographer in Ottawa, Illinois. My main job is wedding photography but I also do just about every type of photography including family portraits, Senior shoots, events, working for record labels etc. I also work for the newspaper which has helped me for the past five years in molding my eye for journalism. I don't like to do things traditionally and always strive for the unique or crazy. My motto is "Work passionately and have fun". I love photography and I constantly reach for perfection. My love of it all is what keeps me going. I have to see it this way, otherwise it is merely "work" and not passion.
I am fascinated with light and shadows, and have often been called the "Light King". I am intrigued with the shades of light and shadow. I would like to make your wedding or event meaningful, unique, and fun. You will most likely see me on the ground, high in the air, or doing something dangerous to get a photo.
Some of my achievements include featured works in Time Square, magazines, numerous photography site awards, and have had my work sold in galleries and gift shops.
