Hello! My name is Dom Rafiti. One of the most difficult things for me to do is talk about myself and am more of a talker than a writer. I have always had an overactive imagination which was a huge asset when I was growing up. I found a broken Pentax k1000 SLR and carried it every with me. I remember being fascinated with manually winding the camera and loved listening to the clack of the mirror.
I started taking photography classes in middle school and continued to take them through high school. It wasn't until I got my fist digital SLR that I really found my love for photography. I fell in love with weddings when I got married and kind of stumbled into wedding photography when some friends said, "hey you got a big camera, want to shoot our wedding?" Ummmm sure! I was horrified of messing something up that I enrolled in three different wedding workshops before I shot their wedding. After that first experience I was hooked. There is nothing like a wedding and being so intimately involved with the stars of the show adds that much more to the day. I always tell people that being a wedding photographer is like having a back stage pass to one of the coolest shows on earth.
Some random things that I love:
