Approaching wedding days with a documentary focus means holding space for you to be present with other and your loved ones; letting the events and emotions of the day flow freely.
A wedding day is a celebration, not a photoshoot. I take care to find the sweet spot between candid imagery and effortless portrait work. I’ll offer light guidance or direction if and when necessary, but I love to take more of a photojournalistic approach to let you truly enjoy your wedding day. I really believe the best wedding photos are the ones full of real love; where you’re whole heartedly living in the moment.
Photos will feel like memories when they are real memories.
01. A FOCUS ON CANDIDS
My work is documentary focused. A majority of your wedding gallery will be candid in nature. Imagery that focuses on emotion, celebration and connection. Perfectly imperfect moments that could’ve never been posed.
02. NATURAL PORTRAITS
While my work is mostly documentary, I can include portrait work for you and your partner, wedding parties and family photos. I like to keep these natural, lighthearted and unforced. This can look differently for each couple and be incorporated into your day however you’d like (or not.)
03. TRUE COLOR EDITING
I believe color is an important part of memory. I editing in a way that is soft and film inspired, keeping the colors truer in nature while slightly toning down harshness.
I want you to remember the colors of the flowers and the foliage and how bright blue the sky was.
04. SENSORY & MEMORY DETAILS
Detail images are about more than aesthetics. I like to be intentional with detail photos, using them as a means to remember your day and spark your senses. The way the day looked, felt, sounded. Your gallery will include details that go beyond your attire. Think textures, architecture, florals, food.
05. COLLABORATIVE PLANNING
No two couples are the same, so why should your photos feel that way? I value communication and collaboration during the planning process to really know what pieces of your soul went into planning your day, what you and your partner value and prioritize and what you want to remember when looking back on your day.
