My first “nice” camera was my Bar Mitzvah gift and I have been talking photos ever since. When I got my first “professional camera” (about 12 years ago) before starting to travel the world, I took a ton of pictures of landscape, my friends and almost everything else.
Around 2008 I started to work as an assistant to a wedding photographer to make some extra side money to buy more camera gear. I never imagined that I would fall in love with capturing weddings. About a year later, I started my own business and now I’m a full-time wedding photographer.
I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity to document couples on one of the most important day of their lives, capturing the moments of true love, friendship and celebration.
My work has been published in a few print magazines, wedding blogs and I also had the honor to win a quite a few photography awards :)

There is no need to make a shot list for your wedding. Weddings are very dynamic and moving, working with a shot list is very limiting and take away from your real moments.
The only list that I need would be for family formals part of the day. Prior to the wedding I will send you a questioner with all that I need.
I would love to hear more about you and your up-coming wedding, to answer any questions you might have and to discuss all the fine details of your wedding.
