Trends come and go, but my approach is rooted in longevity—understanding what the modern bride is drawn to while creating images that age with intention. The goal is for the photographs to feel just as meaningful decades from now, rediscovered with the same sense of nostalgia.
I believe documentary photography doesn’t mean unposed—it means thoughtfully guided, refined, and composed with a magazine sensibility. The result is imagery that feels natural, elevated, cinematic, but honest.
ENJOY THE DAY
PHOTOS HAPPEN ORGANICALLY
My Approach
M y approach to weddings is to simply observe and capture.
Of course, I'll pose you and set up photo moments but the special, heart-felt, moments come from allowing wedding days to unfold organically. Keeping the focus on the celebration of you and your love.
Weddings are made up of a million tiny moments- silent tears, hand squeezes, tight hugs, and passing smiles. All moments you can't pose. Also, all moments you can miss and easily forget.
My Job is that they don't go forgotten.
This means creating a timeline with ample space for the formal posed photos (because I love a good editorial shot) but also allowing time for wandering memories to be created and captured.
I never want to be known as the photographer who pulled you away from the party--I want to be the kind that puts a drink your hand and photographs the outcome of it.
From years of experience, I've learned the best photos come from couples who are truly enjoying their day.
So enjoy your day!
