This is the core philosophy behind every frame I take. With a style that mixes genres (call it filmy photojournalism) and a presence that invites vulnerability, I encourage couples to embrace the unconventional, unrestricted by expectation or trend.
The goal is not a perfectly arranged performance
(although impromptu singing and dancing are always welcome), but rather a shared experience with the people you love in the moments you’ll only get to live once. After all, these are the moments you’ll want to remember most.
A word to the wise? Hug your people tight. Smile big and wide. Cry the tears — the happy and the wistful. Conquer the dance floor, and boldly so. Take the loud toasts and rambling speeches to heart. Embrace your favorite traditions — or hey, start your own.
And let each photograph thereafter be a reminder of the time you loved and lived and truly felt that rare and splendid experience of having all of your people together in one place.
