Old Family Photos

Since I love old photography, and am also a wedding photographer, I decided to share some old family wedding portraits in this section. As I have grown older I have become increasingly more interested in my family tree. It’s fascinating to discover what traits, be it physical or personality, and talents we inherit from our ancestors. I am proud to say that I come from a line of honest, humble, good humored, hardworking and sometimes colorful people! Below are a just a few images of people from my family tree.
