Every wedding is different, but the way I approach your day stays consistent: I'm always looking for the quiet moments between the big ones.
Here's what working together on your wedding day actually looks like.
Getting ready (the most underrated part)
The details matter. The dress hung by the window, your grandmother fastening your necklace, the chaos of your bridesmaids laughing in a too-small hotel room — these images will mean more to you in ten years than almost anything else from the day.
I arrive early enough to photograph the small things before the morning becomes a blur. Give yourself more time than you think you need. The best getting-ready light is the early kind.
The ceremony
I photograph ceremonies quietly. No direction, no interruption — this is the one part of the day where I just watch carefully.
I'll be moving through the room — aisle, altar, congregation — capturing every angle without ever distracting from the moment. The reactions from your parents, your partner's face when they first see you, the pause before you say "I do" — these are what I'm watching for.
Portraits (and how to keep them fast)
Couple portraits usually happen in a 20–30 minute window between the ceremony and reception. That's plenty of time if we plan ahead.
Before the day, we'll talk through where to go so we head out with a clear plan. You won't stand in front of the same wall for twenty minutes. We'll walk, explore, and let the images come to us.
The reception
Candid coverage through dinner, toasts, first dances, and then — one of my favorite parts — the dance floor when it opens.
Toasts are the one moment where I ask your emcee to have speakers face the room rather than the couple. It makes all the difference for the images.
Gallery delivery
Your full gallery of around 1,000 edited images arrives within 8–12 weeks.
Every image is hand-culled and individually edited. Every one gets attention.
Questions about your day? Let's talk. I love the planning call almost as much as the wedding itself.
