Rays O Light

Rays O Light We make your special memories unforgettable by capturing them into beautiful artistic photographs, t Life was vivid and passionate.

My father first introduced me to photography when I was eight years old. I was completely taken in by the camera's ability to capture slices of time and emotions not possible in any other medium. Under his tutelage I began to see life in a new way; prospective, light, and color became powerful and emotional. After majoring in fine art photography, I opened my first studio in Pennsylvania. My photo

journalistic style of documenting the emotions of life put me in high demand for sports and entertainment. I spent years photographing celebrities such as Elton John, world figure skating champions, and World Cup Soccer teams. But the world was calling and I was not getting any younger. Inspired by a World War II photographer, I joined the United States Navy at 34. I wanted to tell the story of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line everyday. I wanted to capture their fear, anger, compassion, joy, and pride for generations to appreciate. I moved my studio to southern California after my second tour of duty in the Middle East. I fell in love with the weather, the land, and the people. It was the diverse culture of southern California that made me feel at home. But it was the years of travel and experience photographing ceremonies, celebrities, humanitarian relief operations, and combat troops on the tip of the spear that taught me; life is in the details. As your photographer I will let your individual style show through. My goal is to capture the feelings and emotions: the laughs, hugs, smiles, and tears of your special day through candid and creative photography giving you a unique collection of images that tells your story.
