I returned from my trip to the West Virginia PPA convention to speak about my business and approach to wedding photography. It was cool to meet so many nice people who had a genuine interest in what I had to say. I am honored to have been invited and look forward to the next time many of lives may cross again. It was so cool to view all the images that were entered into competition and see how they were scored. I would highly recommend that new and seasoned photographers take a look at the PPA for accreditation and education. I also want to thank my friend, Sam Hughes, for making the trip with me and sharing in this experience. We certainly had some great laughs. I also want to thank my album company, Pictobooks, for sponsoring me and providing great prizes for the attendees.

I pleased to have my work featured in the Spring/Summer issue of Vow magazine. I loved Anjali & Nitin's wedding, and I can't say enough about my love of veils.
