Ron is a two-time first prize winner in the wedding photography contest sponsored bi-annually by Philadelphia Magazine's Elegant Wedding, winning once in the "candid" category and once in the "kids" category. Before photographing weddings, Ron worked for the Miami Herald as a freelancer for years. He was also a photographer for the Atlantic News Service, where he was based in Budapest, and covered the war in Bosnia, as well as other political and local events in Hungary. He started out his career with a degree in photography from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, where upon graduation he was awarded "Best Portfolio". After returning to the U.S. Ron relocated to New York City, where he currently works as a freelance photographer for many business, fashion, portraiture and architecture clients. He has worked with Faith West Photography for the past four years, where he brings his passion for telling a story to the exciting drama of weddings. Ron feels that the relationship he has with the clients is what makes his pictures stand out -- he brings his warm, engaging personality and high standards of photojournalism to every wedding he does.
