Can I book you for Sunday?

Sorry, I am not available on Sunday.

I teach Sunday School every Sunday and I am the Sound Engineer at my Church and my wife is a part of the choir. As a christian, for me it is the Lord's day, and I owe everything I have to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He has been so good to me and my darling wife!

If you have further questions, do please email me, I'd love to hear from you and make a booking for any other day of the week.

How do I purchase a fine-art print?

Easy! I use Google Checkout to handle payment for Fine-Art Photographic Prints so you know it's secure and easy to order online.

Most Prints have a "Buy Now" button below them (see this example »). That means all you have to do is select the size print you want from the handy list to the left of the Buy Now button, then click that same "Buy Now" button to be taken to Google Checkout to complete your purchase. I'll then follow up with you to make sure everything is ready to go and then I'll get working on your fine-art print. You card won't be charged until I ship your print with UPS.

Each print is custom printed and lovingly packaged just for you, and typically it can take up to two weeks to ship with UPS from when you place your order. Shipping to USA Addresses is included in the purchase price.

What equipment do you use?

The very first camera was a Pentax Spotmatic-F with a broken lightmeter. I borrowed it from my uncle, and used it for my first major winter trip to the mountains. You can read more about that here.

Since then I've photographed with a variety of cameras, several Olympus OM series SLRs, a Leica, a Hasselblad SWC with an amazing lens (a great camera, that sadly I've since sold), and more recently my Walker Titan XL wide 4x5 view camera. I also shoot with professional Canon Digital SLRs as I find my creativity is not hindered that way, and I'm more productive out in the field. Not to mention that on a multi-day expedition my back is much happier!

Ok, but what will you use at my wedding?

For weddings I shoot digital exclusively. I use professional Canon digital SLRs, flash systems, and L-Series lenses for their outstanding image quality, and very low noise; what that means for you is nice large enlargements are possible, and I can do full page spreads in your album with very high quality.

Working digitally, my workflow is super quick after your wedding, ensuring I can provide a very high quality service, quickly. I can have your custom designed story book album draft up as a slideshow for you to share the week after your wedding, and your full set of 800 to 1000 or more pictures up for you, your family, and friends to order prints and thank you cards and so forth for online proofing soon after that.

If you have further questions about my equipment, I'll be happy to pop round and show you how I work, or you can call 760-696-5168 for a consultation, or just send me email!

I'm located in Vista, which is North County San Diego in the golden state of California. I am available for weddings, engagement sessions, events, and photo shoots all over San Diego, Los Angeles and the neighboring counties of Southern California. I am also available in all other areas and states for a modest travel fee.

I'll even arrange a suitable time to come and visit you at your home or office (assuming you're in Southern California) where we can meet and chat and also so you can see some samples including the amazing custom designed fine-art albums and custom canvas prints.

Why do you do photograph weddings?

It all started with being disappointed with the photographs from my own wedding, and I knew I could do better, so I decided to do something to help make sure that others, such as yourself, have a great experience, and a great custom designed storybook album telling the real story of the day: your special wedding day.

When my wife and I were married, we got a set of proofs in a nice case, which were nice enough by themselves, we were given the original digital files a while later, and it was left at that. It wasn't until a year later that we finally printed pictures for our photo frames! Then I realised that hey, something is wrong with this picture! Something was missing. And that thing was time. Most people just don't have the time, or expertise, to put together their own prints from the originals, nor to do a custom designed storybook album for the coffee table. Time lost when we could have enjoyed a great story told in pictures in our album but we didn't have one to enjoy or share with guests.

That doesn't have to be you. That's why I photograph weddings, to help people like you remember your special day for years to come, and that's why I'd love to photograph yours. I'd love to provide you with something to cherish, something to bring a tear to your eye when you look through the pages of your storybook wedding!

Why Landscapes?

My love of photography began through mountaineering. My father was a keen mountaineer before he was married, and I remember seeing all the slides he had taken, as well as the stories of his adventures, and it greatly kindled my interest in the mountains. Much to my Mother's dismay of course. She'd "saved" her husband from the danger of the mountains, and now she was losing her eldest son to those very same mountains. Mountains command respect, and they also beg their pictures to be taken. So I did just that, and loved it. I'd studied up on all the techniques, films, lenses, cameras, and read books by Galen Rowell, and many others about photography in mountaineering before my very first trip.

My first trip to the mountains with a camera was to Mt Ruapehu in the winter, with an old Pentax Spotmatic-F I had borrowed from my uncle. He'd taken it to Scott Base for a year, and somehow the lightmeter had never worked since. So I had to really read up on how exposures worked, and I worked out a system so I could expose the slides accurately without a lightmeter. It worked great, and to this day, one of my all-time favourite images was made off that first roll of film. It's a Fuji Velvia, iso 50 slide, and I really love it. The sunset was incredible, the wind howling, and the snow billowing everywhere. Totally amazing! Right place, right time. snap, 1/60th @ f/8 - perfect.
