I attended Concordia Lutheran College, now known as Concordia University, Texas from 1993-1997.  During that time I studied Lutheran Theology earning a minor in Theology and a Lutheran Teaching Diploma as well as my BA.   Perhaps the most important class I took during that course of study was American Christianity.  During that class we learned all about the major American Denominations, their doctrine and practices.  That information is PRICELESS when shooting a wedding.  I know that a couple at a Catholic Mass might have their first kiss during the sharing of the peace.  I know that could also apply to Lutherans, Anglicans or Episcopalians who have a Eucharist during their service.  I know how to speak with clergy and what questions I need to ask to make sure that I am able to cover your wedding effectively.  We also had to take a survey course of Major World Religions.  Whereas I’m no where near an expert, I know about the customs of Buddist, Hindi, Sikh, Muslism and Jewish faiths. During my studies I met and talked with clergy from all works of life and thankfully still have many friends in the Church who are great resources for me.

As you seek a wedding photographer your ceremony customs should be considered.  I am able to work with any couple regardless of religious affiliation. My knowledge of faith practices will help assure proper and respectful coverage of your ceremony.
