Holy Matrimony
For as God made Himself present to His people in the Old Testament, so now Christ “comes into the lives of married Christians through the sacrament of matrimony.” - Gaudium et Spes
When it comes to wedding photography, the pool of talented and capable photographers is vast. There’s simply no shortage of photographers who can capture your special day. But you aren’t here for the average Wedding Wire affair. You and your fiancé(e) are preparing for Holy Matrimony which requires a special finesse and understanding, and someone who is prepared to capture the mystery and solemnity of this great sacrament.
Not Your Average Wedding
As Venerable Fulton J. Sheen once said - it takes three to get married: You, your spouse, and God. My approach to wedding photography reflects this and I not only strive to capture the event, but also the unique and sacred beauty of the sacrament. The photos you keep will stand as a testament of your love for one another and for God. I am familiar with both Roman Rite (Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms) and Byzantine Rite weddings and understand the differences that make each distinctly beautiful.

Sacraments
Much like the stages of one’s natural life, the Sacraments of the Church can be thought of as the stages of one’s spiritual life: We are initiated into the mystical Body of Christ, we are reconciled, and we are commissioned with purpose. These stages of spiritual development are significant and memorable to a Christian family and deserve to be preserved with the highest dignity.
*Note: The packages offered below are for the most commonly photographed sacraments but, as mentioned, all of the sacraments are precious and deserving of memory. Please don’t hesitate to contact me (select “Other” in the contact form) if you need a photographer for the more “sensitive” sacraments. These will require special care and preparation, but I am more than happy to do these for you and will approach them with the utmost respect.
