We found a photographer
greg | February 24, 2010The first time I met Devin was sitting in a circle of newcomer’s after one of my first visits to Park Community Church. I disliked him at first because while introducing ourselves Devin mentioned he liked to cook and it was obvious by the way he talked about food that he was a far better cook than I was (which, three years later, is still very true). My dislike quickly dissipated when we bonded over a shared cigarette… smokers have to stick together at church. (We’ve both since quit).
Today, Devin and I are in the same small group (like bible study, but with cooler, more handsome men). Through that, him living four blocks away from me, and many shared culinary adventures, he has grown to be one of my closest friends. In addition to his mad picture-taking skillz, I am excited to have another Christian brother and representative from Park Community Church present at our wedding.
When Rachel and I were looking at photographers in Washington I would send their work to him for critique. After eviscerating one of the candidates in a very polite, professional way, he decided he could use a destination wedding in his portfolio. He said “I know Rachel will be a beautiful bride, and I will be jealous if anyone else photographs her.”
As you can see from the pictures below, Devin is a rockstar at making people look like rockstars. He is as passionate about photography as Rene is about cooking. He is the standard by which I judge all other photographers.

I really like this guy’s work, very nice choice. It’s so hard to make wedding photography “not cheesy”, and he does it really well. Now I am all excited about trying out my new portrait lens! Congratulations on finding an artist AND a friend to do your wedding, that makes all the difference.
