Let go of what a wedding is supposed to look like, and let the magic happen.
Magic happens when we let go of our expectations and what we’ve been told and shown the “perfect wedding” is supposed to look like.
The magic doesn’t happen in rigid shot lists and perfectly coiffed hair. It happens in the quiet and the soft and the, whatever happens, happens kind of attitude. It happens when you realize that you’ll wake up tomorrow morning married to your best friend, and every single thing that happens leading up to that morning is something to be treasured and enjoyed and savored.
Your wedding day will happen one time. Once. My goal is for you to look at your photos in a year or five or fifty and remember how it felt. I hope you’ll remember how cried happy tears during your first look, how your guests danced the night away with drinks in their hands, how you fixed each other’s hair in the light rain during portraits, how you stumbled in the grass in your heels and giggled the whole time.
My goal is to help you remember.
I’ll take the family photos and the classic portraits and I’ll lightly guide you through gentle posing, but you’re in control of the day. I’m not here to be your paparazzi, I’m here to pay attention and watch for the unexpected and the beautiful.
I like to focus on photos that portray the emotion and the essence and the energy of the day, and less of the posed and strict and overly-produced. I want to take photos that don’t just help you remember what it looked like, but how it felt.
I want you to remember the magic.
