Photo School-Trained Professional Digital Wedding Photographer
I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, so it makes sense I came out of college and entered the work force as a professional digital wedding photographer in NYC.
My time in photo school has allowed me to see every wedding day as an opportunity to create some beautiful photographs for my couples and their friends & families.

The average is usually a final gallery of 50-150 photos per hour of wedding day coverage. Let's say for example I photograph a 10 hour wedding, by myself. The final gallery will likely have around 1000 images.
Luckily this has never happened, but yes. My second shooter and I always have a plethora of camera bodies, lenses, memory cards, and batteries on us. And we back all our digital files up twice.
While I always welcome work that provides inspiration, I would prefer to not be sent photos taken by other photographers. Imagine going to your favorite restaurant and asking the chef to recreate a meal from another establishment. As long as you trust my abilities, I promise we will create beautiful work together.
True to life colors, with a little bit of umph. I also pay special attention to exit signs, street signs, hair flyaways, and other general distracting elements.
The answer to this will likely be no. RAW files are *huge* and require either Lightroom, CaptureOne, or Camera Raw to open the files. You don't need to do extra work.
