I am someone who loves the little things. Everyday life is full of little things that speak volumes. And it’s these things that often mean the most or matter in the long run.
I started in wedding photography after spending a lot of time behind a video camera at weddings. I quickly realized that my place was behind a photo camera, not video. There is just something about catching a single moment that can stand on it’s own and not need sound or motion or additional footage to let it tell it’s own story.
I love weddings and it’s still what I primarily focus on. Weddings appeal to me mainly because of how emotional the day is, but I also love how challenging they are as well. The day is fast paced and there are no do-over’s, they just happen. My job is to capture the way the day unfolds to show you all the beautiful things that you don’t often get to appreciate or think about because life is moving too fast.
My approach to photography first and foremost is to capture real life and real emotion. I try to approach most sessions, whether an engagement session, high school senior session, or wedding day, with a good amount of standing back and letting people be themselves. I do and will give direction when needed, but often I like to give you time to interact be yourself.
I’m a big believer in meeting with couples and other clients before hand to see if we are a good fit for each other. If you can’t feel comfortable around me, you won’t look comfortable in your photos. Photography shouldn’t have to be a painful, eye rolling experience. It can be fun, unobtrusive and relaxed!
