I am a photographer, a husband and a proud father. I like to try new recipes on the grill while listening to jazz music. I've been known to buy a bottle of water for a bride right before she walks down the aisle in 92-degree heat. My wife says that anytime I try to explain something technical I sound like Charlie Brown's teacher... wah wah wah. Wah wah! I have a video clip on my iPhone of my sons first steps so I can brag to anyone at anytime. I started as a newspaper photographer but settled into weddings because I found brides gush over my images more than stuffy photo editors. I met my wife at our university's student newspaper almost 15 years ago and still can't believe I got the girl. And everyday I wake up thankful for my God-given ability to take meaningful pictures.
