I’m from the Chicagoland area and I’ve lived in the city for over 16 years now. I have an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science in Photography from Milwaukee Area Technical College-Milwaukee; a BFA degree in photography from Columbia College Chicago. So far, I’ve visited 27 countries over 5 continents to experience their culture and photograph the many fascinating people, architecture, and social scenes throughout the world. Although I developed many skills while traveling independently, I began to hone my skills in photography while I was the head yearbook photographer in high school in the mid-1990s. Weddings are a rush. Even though certain things are similar in weddings, each one is completely different and unique. e a part of that experience. I’m also a big fan of portraits, both traditional and relaxed and fun. Remember to plan a lot of time for the portraits and bridal party photos, because once you are done with all those, it’s time to party at the reception.
