Military Ceremony Photography

"If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased.”

  - Maya Angelou

US Army Retirement Ceremony held in the National Army Museum in Fort Belvoir, Virginia

Retirements - Promotions - Reenlistments 

Let's celebrate your service by capturing every important moment during your ceremony, because let's face it, you'll be too overwhelmed or emotional to remember every  detail.

I offer two photography packages for your military ceremony. The basic package includes one hour on station, documenting the ceremony only. 

The premium package includes up to two hours documenting your ceremony and any receiving line images, this package also includes a beautiful, personally tailored coffee book to display all your images. Take a look at my portfolio below to help you decide if this is worth the investment.

Celebrate Your Legacy

When I retired from a life of military service, it was disappointing to see that I hadn't really taken many pictures in uniform.

For my retirement ceremony, I put together a slide show, and I struggled to find decent pictures in every rank.

In fact, both my Father and Step-Father served full careers in the Air Force and Navy, respectively, and I have less than a dozen pictures to prove it.  How sad is that?

My adult sons are curious about my service, especially as one of them is starting his own military journey, but it's too late for me.

It doesn't have to be too late for you.  Even if you are about to leave the service, take a moment to capture your legacy.

If you are still in uniform, take time to document your journey every year, at every rank. Celebrate Your Service.
