Flush Mount Wedding Albums & Why I’m On a Finao Kick

Some of my wedding photography packages include flush-mount albums. What is a “flush-mount” album you ask? I asked that question too a couple of years ago when I was getting started in wedding photography. At that point, I had already made a few “coffee table” books from my personal photographs. But coffee table books are...

Prints and Digital in Wedding Photography

I always provide clients with a disc of their digital image files. When I started photographing weddings that’s all they got — data on a CD. Now that I’ve been living in the wedding photography world for almost two years I’ve warmed up a lot to the notion of prints, books, and albums. There’s something...

I thought “2009 will be my Germany!” So from February through...

How I Became a Wedding Photographer

I never thought that I’d be a wedding photographer. In fact, I had bad associations with wedding photography — hazy, glowing images of red roses and album templates with cartoons of clinking champagne glasses. All of that changed a year ago when a friend encouraged me to answer an online ad for an “un-wedding photographer.”...

Tools of the Trade

People sometimes ask me about equipment: “What camera do you use?” “What lenses?” Sometimes the person asking is another photographer but just as often it’s a client.
First off, I bring multiple cameras and backup batteries and lenses to every job. All of these tools are Canon. Most wedding photographers use either Canon or Nikon, and...
