My Dad once told me that there are two ways of doing anything: mechanically, or artistically. First you have the mechanical way, where you understand the mechanics of a craft; like what buttons you have to push in order to take a picture with your camera. Then you have the artistic way, where you move beyond the mechanics, and enter the realm of creativity. He said that the difference between something being done “clunkily” and being done with “finesse", is in that artistry. I really took that to heart, and It’s what I think about every time I pick up my camera. It’s at the core of how I go about my craft, and my life in general. There’s no “just going through the motions'' or “cookie cutter” mentality with me.. There’s intention behind every photo that I make. After being a full-time photographer since 2017, I’ve really honed in on the details that make the kind of impactful images I strive to create, and it remains my honor to turn your finest moments into timeless, handcrafted art.
Years later when the vows, the speeches, and the dances have all faded, you want pictures so good they make you feel like you’re right back in those moments. Pictures so good they NEED to be turned into prints. And pictures so consistently good that you can’t possibly choose a favorite.
This is YOUR, BIG, DAY, and after it’s all said and done, you want the story to be told in a cinematic style you could look at for a lifetime.
Your story is unique, and deserves to be documented accordingly.
These photos are going to become a family heirloom IF they are done properly. You choose quality over quantity, and appreciate the finer details.
A lot of photographers slap on a price tag that doesn’t match the underwhelming photos they deliver, late. Rest assured that I will work my a** off to deliver a quality experience that exceeds expectations.
The last thing you want is a photographer standing over your vows firing off their flash obliviously distracting you and your guests. While I value the importance of documenting the important moments I also understand that it is equally crucial to consider my approach, ensuring that it does not detract from the essence of those cherished moments.
In an era where it feels increasingly frustrating to get a hold of people or companies, you can rest easy knowing that you can get a hold of me when you need to. I actually answer my phone, and I respond to texts and emails the same day.
Your big day is going to be FILLED with beautiful moments, and you want someone there who appreciates that beauty.
