What part of the wedding is your favorite to photograph?

What do you shoot – film, digital or both?
I love shooting Digital Photography.
What keeps you inspired?
Knowing that I have been charged with such a GRAND task of capturing such a momentous occasion inspires me to Be Great! Also seeing other people excel! I always root for my supporters and my Supporters root for me.
When you’re not shooting weddings, what do you like to do?
I love watching movies, that’s where I get a lot of my inspiration from. I also Coach a Step Team of High School Girls after school twice a week.
What advice can you give to couples looking for that perfect photographer?
A photographer or cinematographer can’t change their style overnight. Take a gander at their portfolio, if you want Dark and Dramatic, Light and Airy, Crazy and Creative make sure you see that in their content.
