I am an experienced award-winning photographer. I shoot weddings, portraits, corporate and events. I have a knack for being personable and having my subjects feel at ease. When shooting events, I work unobtrusively and diplomatically. Technically, I have it all down pat so that I am able to concentrate on capturing the decisive moment. My work has been published in The NY Times, People Magazine, Forbes and major world-wide publications. I specialize in portraits and special events and have also shot real estate, products and just about everything in between. Weddings are separately priced with special value driven bundles.
Awards, honors and recognition
I am a member of The American Society of Magazine Photographers, NY Press Photographers Association, Professional Photographers of America and have been inducted into the International Live Event Association Hall of Legends. I have won many first place awards in my career.
A fun fact about me
Since the NY Archdiocese is a client, I was the official photographer for the Pope Frances' visit to NY in 2015 and Pope Benedict's visit to NY in 2008. I was put in the back of a police car and was told I would arrive five minutes before the Pope at every stop! Even though I mostly cover personal and corporate events and portraits, I am often referred to tongue in cheek as "The Pope's Photographer!"
