“The most elegant news photographer that I’ve ever met.” – NY Times best-selling author Bill Bryson
OK, so I photographed Bill Bryson and he really said that to me. But I had a nice suit on and, well, news photographers aren’t usually the sharpest dressed folks out there. Who am I to turn down a compliment, though?
For a big part of my career I was a photojournalist at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. What a terrific profession newspaper photography is! You meet all kinds of folks in every walk of life. There’s probably no better way to get to know a community and the stories of the people who live in it.
Speaking of stories, a wedding has all the elements for a great one – characters, personality, feelings and emotions, drama – they’re all wrapped up in your big day! I love to make my clients happy by delivering a collection of photographs that are so meaningful and special to them. Hugs and tears are encouraged:)
