Seriously. After years of working in the traditional wedding industry, I saw a lot. But what I learned more than anything is that "traditional wedding culture" wants you to fit into a cookie-cutter mold. And the truth is... your relationship isn't cookie cutter. Your marriage won't be cookie cutter. Your special day shouldn't be cookie cutter. And, you guessed it... your photos shouldn't be cookie cutter either.

Your photos should absolutely feel 100% authentic to YOU. Which means your images won't just be a copy and paste of your college roommate's, your sister's, or that girl you follow on instagram. It means I'm not going to ask you do every single pose and prompt that I might ask other couples to do (because I know that your relationship is different than every other couple's). The goal is to to really know you and your relationship. To tell your story in a way that truly feel natural for you.

Which is why I believe in a documentary approach to wedding photography, with just the smallest editorial touch.

So what does that mean for you? It means I'll give you plenty of direction, but I won't try to force a moment or a pose. It means I'll tell you what to do ( or if your hands look awkward lol) and make sure you always have clarity and direction so you never have to wonder what to do next.
