My favorite venue to shoot at in Madison is the Capitol building. There are so many side and angels to explore it never gets old. Additionally I think it gives a sense of history and permanence within the photos; after all marriage should only happen once! My second favorite venue to shoot at is the Stoughton Opera House. The Opera house also has years of history along with the quite a few (But not as many as the Capitol) nooks and crannies for original photo opportunities. Not only that but where else can you get married on a Victorian styled stage in front of a dual level auditorium. Very stylish!

...we began attending The Art Institute of Colorado to get our degrees in photography. When Mark was held up at gunpoint in his apartment he moved in with me after hearing that I was looking for a roommate. Over the course of our two years as roommates, I fell for him and with the help of a little tequila to calm the nerves I confessed my undying love for him. Immediately after graduating we opened a portrait studio together in my hometown of Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Four years later, in 2008, we got married.

"A long time ago I never thought I would like photographing weddings, I thought there would be too much pressure. It took only photographing one wedding to change my mind. I absolutely love what I do and I love seeing the expressions on the faces of our clients when they see their photos."

I was shooting portraits, rock bands, and fine-art photography. I went to a wedding in North Carolina. It was a friend of my wife, and I brought my camera and a few rolls of film. The hired photographer was really cool and let me shoot along with him. I had a great time. On the way home on the plane, I told my wife, "I know what I am going to do with the rest of my life".

I truely love the entire day. During the typical event I get to play photojournalist, still life/food photographer and portrait artist. It's great to have a little variety in your work day. But if I have to choose a favorite part I think it has to be the short period alone with the bride and groom that I get to create romantic portraits. It's during that segment of the day that I get to direct a bit, pose a bit, and apply my knowledge of creative lighting techniques to make images that "Aunt Robin" and "Uncle Rob" can only dream of pulling off. It's such a rewarding feeling when you know you've capture that perfect portrait of the couple.

I'm a total wedding nerd. No really! I absolutely love everything about weddings - the transformation from beautiful woman to glowing bride, the vows, the smiles on guests' faces, the toasts even make me cry sometimes. I just thrive on the emotion of the day and strive to capture ALL of it. My mantra is "cover a wedding like I want my own covered." And for me, the ultimate wedding photographer is candid, unobtrusive, fun and friendly, relaxed and enjoying the day as much as the guests are. So that's what I am, every wedding!
