There’s a moment just before you walk down the aisle when time slows-your fingers brush against your partner’s, your grandmother adjusts your veil with trembling hands, and the world holds its breath. These are the fragments I live to preserve. Not just the grand gestures, but the raw, unscripted whispers of emotion that make your love story irreplaceable.
Why I Pick Up the CameraEleven years ago, I photographed my first wedding. The couple insisted on skipping traditional poses and instead wanted candids of their backyard celebration. As the bride’s dog stole the ring pillow mid-ceremony and the groom’s laughter echoed through the chaos, I realized weddings aren’t about perfection-they’re about the beautifully messy humanity of two people choosing each other. Since then, I’ve documented over 200 weddings, each teaching me to see love in its most authentic forms.
Photography That Feels Like a Hug From Your Best FriendYou won’t find me barking orders or obsessing over symmetry. Instead, I’ll be the one catching the way your partner’s eyes crinkle when you accidentally smear cake on their nose, or how your college roommate wipes away tears during your vows. My style blends documentary spontaneity with a curator’s eye for light, ensuring your gallery tells the whole story-not just the highlights.
We’ll start with a cozy video chat (wine optional) where you’ll share how you met-was it that disastrous trivia night where you both forgot the capital of Australia? Or the rainy afternoon you got stuck in a bookstore together? These details help me anticipate moments that matter most, like the inside joke that’ll make you giggle during family portraits.
Films That Let You Relive the GoosebumpsImagine watching your first dance decades from now and still feeling the weight of their hand on your waist. My films aren’t sterile timelines-they’re sensory time capsules. Close your eyes and you’ll hear the rustle of your dress as you walk toward them, the shaky breath they took before saying “I do,” and the collective gasp when your nephew face-planted into the cupcake tower.
How We’ll Work Together
Forget rigid packages. Let’s craft an experience that mirrors your relationship. Maybe you want:
• Sunrise portraits at your favorite fishing spot before a casual brunch reception
• Full-day coverage of your three-day cultural fusion celebration
• An heirloom album with handwritten notes tucked into the margins
We’ll discuss what makes you both light up-maybe it’s your shared obsession with retro board games or the way they still make you tea exactly how you like it. That intimacy becomes the lens through which I document your day.
The Nitty-Gritty (Without the Nonsense)Transparency is my love language. During our planning session, we’ll cover:
• Timelines that actually work (hint: buffer zones are your friend)
• Family dynamics to navigate with grace (Aunt Linda will get her photo, don’t worry)
• Backup plans for when Mother Nature misbehaves
I arrive with two cameras, three lenses, and enough batteries to power a small spaceship. Your memories deserve redundancy.
Let’s Make Magic That Doesn’t Feel Like WorkIf you’ve ever cringed at stiff posing or generic wedding content, we’re already kindred spirits. I want your gallery to feel like flipping through a well-loved novel-dog-eared pages, coffee stains, and all.
P.S. The best photo I ever took involved a runaway chicken during vows. Ask me about it over pancakes-my treat.
