Welcome Hey, welcome to my blog!  I'm glad you found me.  I'm a Kansas City based photographer & videographer and I love capturing real, authentic moments.  From weddings to non-profit folks like Food for the Hungry, my life is filled with working with great people.  Feel free to look around and learn more about me, then let me know how I can be a part of capturing what's important to you.

This video is from last fall but since I've got a new blog that allows me to put them up, you all will be seeing some favorites from the past and some from this season as well.
This is one of the most gorgeous weddings I shot last year - Brooke & Jeff are such an awesome couple and so much fun to film all day.  We worked along side RPM Entertainment who did a fantastic job on their photography.  I really love their work & they were so much fun to hang out with that day.
It was freezing all day, but we still got some great footage with the ceremony at Redemptorist and the reception at Union Station.

Mike,
That is incredible! You are so good at what you do. I can't wait to have you do the videography for my wedding in October. It will be such fun :)

Leah & Pete were destined to be together. So much so that Leah's friend told Pete one day a year before they ever met, "Do you like Puerto Rican girls? You'll meet my friend, fall in love and marry her someday." And so it is.
This July I have the pleasure of capturing their wedding day, both with photography & videography. In the meantime, here are a few shots from the awesome engagement session we had the other night:

I loved what you wrote on your blog about my brother and his wife, Pete and Leah. The engagement pictures are so lovely, and I am really excited to see the wedding pictures.

Matt & Courtney recently celebrated their two-year anniversary out in Hawaii.  I had the pleasure of doing both their photography & video for the wedding on the North Shore of Oahau back in June 2007. 

I posted this on my last blog, but seeing how this new one lets me put larger images up as well as the nifty layout, I wanted to put it back up for you all -

Hey gang -
Welcome to the new blog - larger photos and embedded videos!
I'm hoping to keep you all up to date on what's going on with weekly video updates from this year's wedding season as well as photo shoots - be sure to update your Google Readers or RSS feeds to this new address instead of the old WordPress one. I'm continuing to try to bring in the older blog posts (with some issues) so I may repost some of the older ones with the larger pics too. Keep checking back! Thanks
