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.
