About Me

A top Whistler wedding photographer and photojournalist, I also photograph family portraits, engagement portraits, and do photography for corporate events throughout the Vancouver and Whistler regions.

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. While I was the Durban photographer for the Mail & Guardian newspaper in 1996, it was awarded the British IPD Best International Newspaper Award, and the Missouri Medal for Distinguished Journalism.

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.

I’m still active as a photojournalist, having been instrumental in the launch of the independent newspapers The Sea to Sky News, Garibaldi News, and Urban Pie Magazine.

In 2009, I returned to South Africa and spent three months photographing the country and it’s people.
