Description

I’m an Atlanta photojournalist who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos …

I’m also an adventurous travelerand an all-round nerd.
I love to hike and take selfies with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and my wife Sharon.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around –31 cities and 5 states — then came home.

I listen to NPR, read the New York Times and The Washington Post and watch Netflix and Prime. My favorite series include Offspring, Derek and The Pack.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests and Ted Bundy while interning for the Associated Press. While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn my fifth degree–a Master’s of Divinity. My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by a Mayan shaman.

You won’t find many Atlanta wedding photographers with the education, experience and caring personality that I have … such humility, too. 🙂

When I’m not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, hang out at a tiny cabin in the mountains, work for racial justice and welcome refugees to our community.
