because there's nothing sweeter than fulfilling your grandma's greatest wish
because there's nothing sexier than showing the world just how much you love each other
because there's nothing more romantic than just the two of you together
What makes good photography great photography is YOU, in all your you-ness.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
- You fall in love with my work;
- We meet (either in person or via phone/Skype. We adore each other;
- You say YES! I email you a contract.
- On your wedding day, we have the best day (ever) together.
DO WE GET THE HIGH-RES FILES?
Yes. Delivered with your wedding album.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST WEDDING ADVICE?
Be yourself. Be authentic. Be real. Don't follow the trends and look like every other wedding you're seeing on the blogs and in magazines. Be you.
WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?
Modern, natural, uncomplicated, fun.
I MEANT WHAT'S YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
Ohhh... modern, natural, uncomplicated, fun, and REAL. I'll capture who you are and what makes your relationship unique... that look he gives you. The way you snuggle his neck. The way you laugh together. I'll let things happen naturally - letting you be YOU. My job is to create photographs that make you laugh/cry/remember everything when you look at them. Your job is to have the best day of your life.
WHAT ABOUT POSED PORTRAITS?
Your wedding portraits will be uncomplicated and a lot of fun.
Just like you. (Rarely more than 30 minutes.)
WHAT YOU CAN YOU EXPECT
FROM ME...
- A relaxed & fun photography experience. That's what I do.
- Wedding photographs that don't look like your friend's wedding. As a photojournalist, I don't have a set list of photos - I follow the action and capture what is really happening - not something that I set-up. It's impossible for 2 weddings to look the same.
- Experience... Weddings are unlike any other type of photography - the heightened emotions, the constantly changing light, the fast pacing and strict timelines... I went to art school and I've been photographing weddings a while. I know what I'm doing.
- I never forget the trust that you put in me to create amazing, unique, meaningful photographs.
WHAT'S A TYPICAL WEDDING
DAY LIKE?
- We arrive an hour before showtime to photograph you getting ready (my favorite time of the day);
- You see each other for the first time* (this is when we all start to cry);
- Your bridal party & family arrives for portraits (fast, fun painless);
- We spend a little more time photographing you being you together;
- You get married! (We cry some more.);
- You enjoy cocktail hour with your friends & family (and NOT taking 3 hours of portraits);
- People toast you, you visit, cut a cake, dance, and maybe throw a bouquet/garter.
- Optional. It's totally OK to do the portraits after the ceremony - and yes, they'll still be less than 30 minutes.
