A top Vancouver wedding and portrait photographer
and photojournalist, I also photograph family portraits photographs,
engagement photographs, and do photography for corporate events throughout
the Vancouver and Whistler regions.
Before I becoming a portrait and wedding photographer in Vancouver,
I was an award winning photojournalist in Whistler, and then South
Africa. As chief photographer for the Whistler Citizen and Squamish
Times, I won four major press awards for photography and photojournalism,
and photographic freelancers working under me won an additional
two press photography awards.
In 1994, I moved to South Africa to photograph the transformation
from Apartheid to free rule, and ended up spending more than two
years photographing there.
I returned to Whistler in 1997 and began working as a wedding, portrait,
and event photographer. Today I photograph over 40 weddings a year,
from small elopement sized weddings to large weddings with over
200 guests.
As well as wedding photography, I’ve also been an instructor
of photojournalism at the Focal Point Photo Resource in Vancouver,
a judge for the annual BC & Yukon Newspaper Association photojournalism
competition, and been a commissioning photographer for three independent
newspapers.
In 2009, I returned to South Africa and spent three
months photographing the country and it’s people. |
