Combining art, style, and candids

Located in suburban Philadelphia, Jerry has owned his own business for over 24 years. He photographs between 25-40 weddings per year, showing a true passion for wedding photography. Jerry gets excited every time he photographs a wedding, and he gets the entire bridal party wound up about their pictures aswell. He says, "how often do couples say they have had a blast getting their wedding pictures taken?".

Jerry's philosophy when photographing weddings is that he is there not just for the bride and groom, but for their families also. He only offers full day coverages, not a 7-8 hour time limit. "I'm here to capture the event, someone's wedding, not working in just a block of time". By mixing candids, “parent pleasers”, images with artirstic and fashion flair, Jerry is able to give couples images unlike no others. His methods in photographing upscale weddings have given him a reputation that keeps his advertising to a minimum, while destination weddings allow him to further enhance his artistic images with breathtaking locations.

He has been utilizing computer design in helping couples layout their wedding albums since 1993, and has taught numerous seminars throughout the United States, teaching photographers his methods in computer album design, so Jerry and Photojunction were a natural fit.

Awards include:

Jerry had five of his wedding images selected into the Professional Photographers Traveling Loan Collection which represents the top 5% of images from all over the world entered into the International Print Competition, 3 Masters Exhibit Prints, and one Kodak Gallery Award for an image he took while on a destination wedding in St. Lucia.
