I will not create fake or unnatural moments. I am not going to be in your face directing every step. I will not be obtrusive or loud, because that's not who I am.
WHATCHYA GONNA GET
I believe in authenticity.
This wedding is about you- right? Not truly about the colors, the food, the dress, the decorations, you name it. Although those things are something that you probably worked hard on and want to remember, isn't this whole thing about marrying the person who you want to spend the rest of your life with? You two, your unique personalities, coming together and promising forever.
I think that's pretty awesome.
And that's what I'm here to capture and also why I'm not going to make you hold still and tilt your head to the side while you force a smile and I shoot 15 different angles of your face. My goal for any wedding is to kind of melt into the shadows. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to work my hardest to make these pictures look awesome. I will educate you on lighting and positioning, but when it comes to the real moments, I will not interrupt.
Because those moments matter.
I'm not here for the Instagram poses.
I’m here to create and capture your day beautifully and uniquely. Have a couple photos you’ve always loved that you want me to capture something similar? Sure. Don’t think that because I let moments unfold naturally that I won’t get all the photos you have in mind. I will be working with you from the beginning to get to know exactly what you want captured. It is my job to do this! Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) deal, so I take this seriously.
A friend once told me that your wedding photos and/or video are the only thing left of the day after it’s done. And how true is that? These photos will be seen and cherished by you, your kids, and hopefully generations to come. How disappointing would it be if all you had to remember your wedding day were cheesy-trendy photos? My goal for every wedding is to give you both aesthetic and real moments. To capture how the day felt, looked like, smelled. To bring you back to the most special moments of your life every time you go to look at your photos.
I"m also a huge supporter of personal touches.
Of breaking traditions. Of YOU doing YOU. I get it. Weddings are hard. Your mom has one opinion, your grandma has another, and so does pretty much everyone else. But isn't it funny that the only wedding regrets I've heard are from people who didn't do what they really wanted to do? I've never heard someone say "Man, I really regret eloping in Ireland, we should have had a wedding back at home instead". I sure haven't. But I HAVE heard people say the opposite!
I AM HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOUR WEDDING DREAMS AND MAKE THEM A REALITY. WHATEVER IT IS I CAN DO TO HELP MAKE YOUR WEDDING MORE PERSONAL, I'M ALL FOR IT.
