Welcome! A wedding is an incredible eventful day filled
with emotion. However it is on your 10th anniversary when you look at the
images in your wedding album that you will truly enjoy the wonderful story.
It takes an artistic eye and a journalistic style to capture those moments resulting
in a storybook of images saved forever.
I am often told that my passion for photography shows in the results.
My contemporary style is similar to a candid/photojournalist approach. However it is
not happenstance or aggressive. Couples come to me because of my ability to capture
the story of their day. Within the story are the formals or traditional portraits,
these are usually family groups taken after the ceremony. The formals are usually done
in color; the story is mostly in black and white. Finding a location for special
photography of the couple is also important. It is my goal to capture the emotions
(happiness, sadness, laughter, and tears) of the day and the right location ties
everything together. In order to accomplish this it takes experience, the use of my head,
hands, heart, and all of my senses! A lot of dedication is needed to capture those
fleeting moments that mean so much. As the events of the day are unfolding naturally,
special skills are used to be prepared for those planned events as well as those spontaneous ones.
Knowing when to lead and when to follow is also a very important asset. All of this results
in a stunning storybook album that truly reflects your wedding day.
As you look through the Wedding Gallery you will see a lot of
variety, I will seek out the uniqueness of your day, however I still remain respectful to your
family and guests.
I plan ahead and I travel. I specialize in 'Destination Weddings'
for couples that do not reside where the wedding takes place. For example; on your wedding
day the florist and bakers jobs are done, however the photographers is not. There is more to be done
and special procedures have been developed to provide the services needed by couples that do not live
where the wedding takes place. These procedures are very important and will be discussed in detail
when we talk.
It is a serious trust you are placing upon your photographer. You are trusting
him to preserve your wedding day for the future. You want to have confidence he can deliver
what you want. How important will the pictures be? How important is it to have a photographer
that will not disrupt/ruin your wedding day? This is how you determine how much you
need to invest in your photographer. He has to prove he is worthy of your investment. I take
this responsibility seriously, however I truly enjoy weddings, just as a professional actor looks
forward to the stage and the sports star to the event, I too look forward to your wedding.
When I ask "What do you want me to do?" The usual answer is "Roger,
do what you do best - capture those moments for us like you have
done for so many others".
Thank you for visiting my site.
