"You're trusting someone you don't really know, to immortalize a day
that happens just once."
Throughout my decade as a wedding photographer, I’ve learned what’s MOST important to people.
You are not just hiring someone to take photos.
You are hiring someone who will listen to your mom gush about you at the bathroom sink while washing their hands.
Someone who will laugh with your grandpa as he tells stories about you running around his backyard as a kid.
Someone who will take the very first professional photo of your siblings newborn baby.
Someone who may take the last ever photo of your family all together in one place.
You are not just hiring someone to take photos. You're trusting someone you don't really know to immortalize a day that happens just once.
The value of the right wedding photographer isn’t just about photos, it’s about choosing someone who truly cares about you, and has the endless positive client experiences to prove it.
This what it's like inside my brain
I got married to my unreal parter the day before valentines, which lasted a total of 3 hours including our hot dog detour where we also cut our homemade cake and blew out candles on top birthday style.
if I'm not taking photos at weddings, I'm taking photos for musicians in a variety of settings from live shows, to press.
I love movies, and even use them as a form of study before a wedding...but reality t.v is 100% the most streamed kind of television in my home.
When I started shooting film, I discovered the value in ordinary moments becoming the ones you cherish most, and changed my perspective entirely on when to press the shutter.
I often joke couples hire me partly for my photography, but mostly as a guaranteed extra to cry during their wedding.
I was the kid writing notes with printed out photos & baking cookies for my friends on valentines day because all cheesy stuff aside, love has always been what I gravitate toward.
