Why documentary photography?

Like most, I’m sure you have either been in a wedding or been a guest, where the photographer acts as a wedding planner, guiding the couple from staged moments to ensure they are capturing specific shots off of their lists. I will be observing from afar, capturing the true emotions of your wedding day while you’re soaking in each moment in real-time - as you should. Remember, you are the guest of honor on your wedding day. Many claim to take a “documentary” approach to weddings, but often, they end up asking for posed moments or staged laughs during getting-ready shots. My approach is with minimal posing—only for group portraits and bridal shots. Capturing your day and telling the love story how it feels, authentic to each couple.

Initial Contact

• Send me ALL of the details about your wedding the date, the venue, how you met, how did they propose, how do you want to feel looking at the wedding album, ALL of it.

  Once we discuss the details, we will go over expectations, each collection thoroughly, what is included and what can be added on.

Booking

Once you have decided on a package, I require a contractual agreement and non-refundable retainer to be paid to secure your wedding date.

Now for the fun! We get to plan the engagement session, make sure to bring champagne to celebrate with your honey! We’ll make a vision board with set color palettes, specific locations and inspo photos that are curated to your vision.

The Experience

The wedding day - as a documentary wedding photographer I strive to document your love story as you tell it. Each little moment, your guest’s happy tears, your grandparents dancing, family portraits if you wish, and every moment in between. I’ve been to countless weddings where it felt as if the photographer was running the timeline, I won’t be posing you as you are getting ready. I won’t be pulling you aside at eight o’clock sharp to start the first dance, but I will make sure I am there when you decide to do so. Moments like these are so authentic, they shouldn't be forced or staged. You are the guest of honor at your wedding - you should be relaxed and soaking in your first day as husband and wife.
