The Experience
I offer a full service experience to my wedding couples. From the moment you inquire to the moment you excitedly view your album and printed heirlooms, I will be there to help guide, answer questions, and ensure you are thrilled with your finalized collection.
While every wedding is different, I tend to document weddings in a photojournalistic style. For the most part I will be observing and photographing events as they unfold with moderate intervention and direction. I prefer to photograph a wedding organically as it unfolds, as opposed to creating posed or inauthentic moments. Throughout the day and when necessary, I will gladly step in and offer my advice on placement, location and lighting, but I avoid outright directing a wedding so that you can experience your wedding day as you should. I want you to be able to truly live in these moments! To create image diversity, I will add in traditional portrait photography as well as creative and artistic photography.
How I Approach Wedding Photography
I truly believe that establishing a closer connection with my wedding clients is a key ingredient to creating genuine, emotional storytelling. Photographs are one of the few remaining tangible artifacts from your wedding. Being able to reconnect to those emotions through photography will bring you back to that special place in time, over and over again.
When telling a couple’s story, I believe capturing the details and surroundings are very important. I take time to photograph venue and architectural images along with the smaller details that are often overlooked, but provide context to your wedding day.
Whether you and your guests are in a place of reverence or jubilant celebration, I want to capture those moments in a personal way. While some elements of photography can be subjective – the emotional connections are what will ultimately prevail through time.
Timeline Planning
Let’s be real – weddings can be overwhelming to plan. There are so many options, so many vendors, so many moving parts – coordinating all of those variables can be so stressful. But it doesn’t have to be! With years of experience in the wedding industry, I strive to be a resource to my clients. Throughout the planning process, I will be there for you to offer advice and help you construct a wedding day timeline that incorporates all of those important moments, while allowing you time to relax and enjoy your day.
Make Time for Creative Photography
If there is anything I would implore – please make ample time for creative photography. Most of your day will be covered in a more photojournalistic, documentary style. I will primarily photograph events as they happen. To create diversity throughout the day, we will plan several segments dedicated solely to creative photography. Let’s work together throughout the timeline planning process to ensure we have scheduled “alone” time for us to step aside, find a beautiful setting or landscape, and create images that will amaze you.
