Copyright Statement
Brides who get digital files as part of their packages receive a license to use my images for non-commercial purposes. This page is not directed at persons licensed to use my work.
In the past, other photographers have taken my work and used it to promote themselves. In response I have taken the necessary steps to prove "willful infringement." This includes monthly registrations of all content with the US Copyright Office, publication of this copyright statement, and tagging of every file with my copyright information.
Simply put, if it is on this web site then it is registered. If you try to claim my work as your own, then I will seek statutory damages. If you sell any of my images for money without a license to do so, I will aggressively pursue maximum statutory damages. If you go so far as to take my work and apply your own copyright statement to it, I will do everything I can to see you are criminally prosecuted.
What you see here is my work. Attempts to claim it as your own are something I take very seriously.
