About
The most important thing to know
about me when it comes to your wedding is that it's not about me, it's about
you. My goal, first and foremost, is to capture gorgeous, emotionally
rich images that will not only remind you of how you looked on your wedding
day, but also of how you felt. From the time I arrive, I seek out
those wonderful moments that are not posed or created but that just happen
organically. Even when photographing your portraits I look for a
genuine, emotional connection between the two of you that translates into those delicious,
little candids and amazing images.
We begin working on your wedding
months before your the actual date by collaborating to ensure that your photos
fit seamlessly into the schedule of the day. My approach is unique in that I
include ten hours of photography for all of my weddings regardless of which
package you choose, as I am inspired to tell your entire story from start to
finish. The most wonderful pictures can come from that early-in-the-day anticipation
as well as from the fabulous end-of-the-night party energy - that happens after the cake cutting - I don't want you to miss a minute of
it.
In addition to all of this, I aim to
be as invisible as possible. One of the greatest compliments I regularly
receive from my clients is that they don't remember my being there and taking
most of the pictures, which is one of my most important goals. Especially
during the ceremony, I strive to be discreet and unobtrusive and ensure that
when you exchange your vows, the moment is about you and your beloved, and not
about the photography.
Finally, my commitment and attention
to detail last long after the day itself as I take great care in designing each
and every album with a particular focus on what made your day unique and
special. No two albums are alike and each is designed in order to truly capture
the textures, emotional moments and details of your own wedding. I only
use the industry's most highly respected bookbinders to create hand-crafted,
gorgeous albums that will become treasured heirlooms.
I am always honored to be chosen to be a part of a wedding, as it is one of life's most treasured events and I take great care and pride in each and every wedding I photograph.
