Our Name

Jesus said, “I am THE WAY, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father except through me.” ~John 14:6

 

We chose the name One Way Street in honor of Christ who unites us with God through Grace. Likewise, we believe there is only one way to create beautiful photography: with creative passion.

Our Logo

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!” ~John 1:29

What in the world does a lamb have to do with a One Way Street? Both our name and our logo point to Christ as symbols of our creative identity.


 

How Military Service Makes Us Better

So I’m a military photojournalist and an Army veteran with 20+ years of service to our nation.

As you can tell from this website, I’m also a wedding and family photographer serving couples and parents for the past 10+ years through One Way Street Production.

So, why should you consider hiring a Soldier to document your wedding your family’s most tender moments?

That’s kinda weird, right?

Forget for a moment that I’m an Emmy-awarded and five-time nominated visual storyteller. Don’t worry about the fact I’ve won top awards for my military photos and videos multiple times (After all, I’m photographing your family and wedding, not you and your buddies at a a gun range). Never mind that I’ve mentored young photographers all over the country to propel them in their own professional careers.

The Army instilled in me values that are not only helpful but absolutely NECESSARY in serving our clients!

Among those values: I have a heart for duty, selfless service and integrity.

My duty is to document your wedding day and your family to the very best of my abilities. I will give you my all.

I believe in selfless service, which means I will put your needs, your desires and your comforts before my own. I don’t believe anyone in Pittsburgh will serve you with more commitment than me.

Integrity is instilled in everything I do, which means I will treat you with the highest level of respect, and I will go above and beyond to deliver MORE than what I promised, never less!

Also bonus: weddings can be stressful, and nothing prepares you to overcome and excel under stress than military service.

So if you want not only the best wedding photographer in the Pittsburgh area, but also the most committed to serving you, then send us a message.

Also, yes, we have FIVE kids, and we’d really like to feed them, so please book us so our kids can eat!
