LET'S SEE IF WE FIT
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’d love to help guide you through my work to give you more insight into what I do. It’s really important that we vibe if we choose to work together.
To begin, I don’t follow a rulebook while planning weddings or a specific shot-list while shooting. I work intuitively. My ideal couples believe in the artistic process and trust me to guide them through it. Don’t worry- I’ve got lots of planning options to help you including my custom step-by-step photo guide and private consultations with me! I’ve found when over-structuring you miss opportunities for real and authentic moments. So over the years my style has become more free-flowing.
Let’s do something different, because life is so boring if it all looks the same!
Even though I’m not into an overly structured day I do think planning is important. Not strict timelines and cookie cutter shot lists, but the big stuff – like knowing your earrings were made from Grandma’s pearls or that you couldn’t imagine your first look not happening down the aisle. Most importantly, making time for family and for you to relax and take a breath! We will create realistic expectations and I will help guide you through the process of planning beforehand to make your day fun, easy, and stress free.
Honesty.
When we work together I just ask for you to trust me. Yes, you’ve seen my photos but how do you really know I will have your best interest at heart? Well, it’s because I make it a point to be HONEST and upfront with you. The more we know about each other, the better your photos and experience will be. If something isn’t working I’ll tell you. I’m known for stopping a photo to smooth a stray hair, relocate to find better light, or tell you a pose isn’t working.
Intent.
I’m an observer by nature. I prefer to sit back and watch and then react. This comes into play when I’m at a wedding. Every move is intentional. I try to become a fly on the wall, blending in with the crowd and becoming one of the guests. I get to know your family and friends, chit chatting, hanging out, and watching as events unfold. I’m not a fan of staging moments. The magic hides in the in-between.
Art.
Art doesn’t happen in a box. Art is messy. Art is unexpected. Art has feeling. And that is why I like to create a free flowing timeline. I like to leave room for you to improvise, enjoy those around you, and have fun. Leave a bit of breathing room. Less is more.
I've been an artist all my life. It's what I do. Back to the trust thing, you've just got to let go and we can create!
