Photography has always been a large part of my life. I built my first camera in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC, with my dad when I was eight years old. It used 110 film, and had only one button that you used to take the photo. No internal computers, no aperture or shutter controls and no flash. That first camera is what taught me about composition, light and timing.

My first SLR camera was a used Nikon which I received as a high school graduation present. I took it with me to Wake Forest University; and as I got my degree in Physics, I found myself taking photos of everything from university events to landscapes in Hawaii. After college, while working as a corporate pilot, I continued developing my skills as a photographer by taking photos of bands and musicians throughout North Carolina. Word of mouth led to portrait shots, and then in 2005, I was asked to photograph a wedding and Vesic Photography was started.

Wedding photography combined what I had been photographing my whole life: Portraits, photojournalism of events, landscape, music, and capturing the most important and elusive element of any good photo: emotions. I was hooked from that first wedding and transitioned from a career as a pilot to a career as a photographer. I still fly for pleasure, but photography is now my full time passion.

I live in Winston-Salem, NC with my amazing wife Debbie and our cool kitty Penelope, and routinely cover weddings in Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, Washington DC, Baltimore and throughout the country as far as San Diego, Denver and New York.

I also do portrait photography for couples and families; as well as corporate photography with clients including Honda Jet and NPR; and I’m a member of WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association), PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and the NC Triad Bridal Association.
