A while ago, a long time friend of mine asked me to photograph some stuff for her new business but because I was too busy I passed it along to one of my colleagues.  Now that the site is up and running and now that I’ve seen the video tutorials, I’m totally blown away and...

Thank You, PDN magazine.

Wow.  I’m flustered, floored and flattered to win first place for PDN magazine’s Top Knots: The New School of Wedding Photography Contest for best portrait.  I’m feeling this way because: PDN has always been one of the few pro photo magazines I respect and read The judges are highly respected both from the wedding industry...
