Faith Based Photography
Using Beauty to Illuminate the True and the Good
The great Theologian and doctor of the church Thomas Aquinas spoke of the centrality of the true, the beautiful, and good to the christian worldview. Along with other sacred art, religious photography can use beauty to illuminate the true and the good. In this capacity, photography can be a potent tool for instruction, evangelization, and inspiration to the faithful in their mission to spread the message to Christ to the ends of the earth.

My faith is a driving force in my life. I first got into faith based photography while at the oratory of St. Philip Neri, becoming an unofficial parish photographer. Since then I have become a regular photographer in the Diocese Washington DC and Arlington, capturing Masses and catholic events throughout the region
Some of the areas where I can provide Photography Support
  1. Masses and Celebrations
  2. Faith based Events, Jubilees, and Festivals
  3. Sacraments such as Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders
  4. Church Photography for Bulletins and Other Publications
