Actually, I have moved to the Silicon Valley area of

Fun fact: I took a photography class in 8th grade, mostly (I suspect) because I’d been entranced from an early age with my Dad’s Pentax 35 mm. One of our projects was to document a process. Soup preparation was my topic, and I just couldn’t prevent myself from posing the chicken in the background of each of the vegetable preparation shots. It did the can-can.

My wedding philosophy:
A friend once said that if there was a
wedding hamburger, it would cost $100 and you wouldn't get it your way. I
hate that vulture attitude, so I don't do it to others.
By nature, I'm of the people-safari-style: very unobstrusive except for
posed shots agreed upon in advance. You're there to celebrate with your
loved ones. I'm there to record those memories, not get in their way.
The advantages of my no-overpriced-package, no-nonsense photo pricing (yes, even for weddings!):
Unlike most other photographers, I charge a straight fee based on my time and the event/venue's complexity. You reimburse me for the exact cost of film and developing on a schedule that spreads out your expenses (digital services also available). You determine the number of rolls of film, giving you a lot more control. You own your negatives, so you can order prints whenever you want for exactly what it costs to print them. You won't need to find me later or get stuck with packages plumped up with unwanted prints. I’ll number your proofs to match your negatives and pick out a small booklet of best-picks to get you started. I can recommend mail-based companies for great enlargements that don't break the bank.
Travel fees apply unless I happen to be visiting an area. Luckily, I have access to friends’ lodgings in Chicago, D.C., Toledo, Detroit, and Indianapolis. Non-wedding events are also handled on a straight-fee-plus-reimbursement schedule.
