What to Expect

MY APPROACH TO CAPTURING YOUR

WEDDING DAY

My goal with documentary wedding photography is to blend-in, letting the moments unfold and capture those unique interactions that run true to you. Below is a small glimpse of how I approach a day.

getting ready

One of my favorite things to capture. I feel strongly that the Getting Ready images are super important — it helps tell the story of your first day together as a married couple. All those special things you selected to wear, the people you have around you helping to get ready, the heirlooms, and those beautifully quite moments alone to reflect on all this day will celebrate… it’s such a special thing to look back through the images and cherish.

I make sure to find a lovely spot to capture not only your little details, but also for when getting dressed. Then I tend to stay in the shadows, capturing all the moments as they unfold.

portraits + ceremony

For the First Look and Couples Portraits — this is where the romance of the your love is on high as we wander through the venue having fun capturing intimate moments together.

Whether the group is big or small, I can easily take command of Family portraits making sure we get everything needed as quickly as possible — I coordinate a shot-list with you beforehand. And being tall, people tend to listen to me asap when speaking up, lol.

During the Ceremony, I try to focus on reactions from family and friends, in hopes of catching those tearful sweet moments and heartfelt smiles as you say “I do”.

Reception on…

Thru the Reception, I keep it candid while capturing details and all the guests relaxing, laughing, and having fun. And when the dance floor opens, I am right there in it to grab all those great images of everyone letting loose and breaking it down together.

I typically do not stay the whole evening, just enough to get the goods.

At some point, we may sneak away for sunset images or a champagne pop — if you choose. And I love capturing a big send off, it’s such a festive moment with your guests. All those happy faces cheering you on — priceless!
