Report
I recently hired Don to photograph a conference at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh, and I could not be happier with the experience. He was extremely professional from the moment we began communicating and throughout photographing our event. He completely understood our needs and worked mostly independently. He was very quick with sending us the photos, and most importantly, the photographs are perfect. I am overwhelmed by how many of them are great - it's very hard to pick my favorites. I would highly recommend working with Don any day.

Loved the photos taken at The First Night Parade this year! Don captured all the magical moments, the bands, the puppets, the art cars and performers. The families, the smiles, and the joy of the moment. Thank you.

I can't say enough about Don. He is so easy to work with, quick to respond, understanding of our budget, and his photos are beautiful. He provided the link to our gallery less than 24 hours after the event, with a great variety of candid and posed shots. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
