Growing up amongst the 14,000 peaks of Telluride, Colorado, I developed a early love of beautiful vistas & dramatic backgrounds. My favorite photographer when I was a kid, was a local Tellurider named Ace Kavale who regularly appeared in the pages of National Geographic & did most of the images in the Patagonia Catalogs. His epic adventures & stunning landscapes helped shaped my future!

Signature Style

Still to this day as a Maui Wedding & Elopement Photographer, I love creating the epic big picture landscapes with my clients as they have traveled all the way to Hawaii for this.  In addition though, My style is creating Bold, Vibrant, Crisp & Clean Images that Pop with Color & have a Timeless Quality. Creating imagery with a dab of fashion & an abundance of emotion!  I search constantly for those candid natural moments, as they are gold!  My ability to easily connect with my clients using a friendly & very professional approach all the while keeping people relaxed & at ease. Using creative techniques & great gear, a combo of natural lighting & off camera lighting I am to create imagery that stands the test of time. LETS GET CREATIVE!

Focus on Family! Perhaps one of the most important aspects of any event/wedding is that this is the one  time that everyone has finally gotten together. Making sure we spend quality time creating imagery that is inclusive of everyone & captures all the important relationships means everything!

Focus on Creativity! In Documenting your important event, creating imagery that not only represents the day, but also doing it expressive, interesting & unique ways. This is so IMPORTANT to me to look at each scene with fresh eyes & from up close & far away.

Focus on FUN! With all the build up to the big day, making sure that you actually have fun & laugh & ENJOY your day is everything! I encourage everyone to have fun & be themselves. When people actually just be themseves, the very bset & most organic images are created!

Focus on Candid! So important that the imagery we create reflects on who you are. Always encouraging my clients to just have fun & be them selves. My favorite moments ar those natural moments that just happened. Of course if needed I will gladly help setup an images to make it better. Of course always I am searching for the Great Big Grand Image, that you will want to hang on to your walls, but also not forgeting the small but imporatnt details that helped make your day so special!

Focus on Communication! I love great communication with my clients. Of course as a pro photographer I have thousands of shots that I love to do, but this is your wedding & your DREAMS. My job is to LISTEN to you & capture moments & images that reflect what you want & who you are! I encourage you to come up with a list of MUST HAVE’s & important family/friend/wedding party images. I will also encourage you to have a point woman/man who has a list & can help gather all these important people to timely get all the images done.

Focus on Timing! Generally your coordinator will have figured this out, but it is so important to stay on track as there are many other vendors all relying on the timeline to make the event a success. My job as a Maui Wedding & Elopement Photographer is to get the shots all the while keeping in tune with the timing of the event so all details & timing marks are meant.
