My love for photography and for creativity are what makes me passionate about the art of wedding photography.

My approach to wedding photog­raphy is very similar to my por­trait style of photography. Just as I devote a rapport of individuality in my portraits, I devote myself to developing a comfort zone, which generates a haven of joy for my bride and groom as they venture through one of the most memorable days in their lives.

I include an engagement photo session in all of my wedding packages for several unique reasons. This allows me to devote time and energy to photographing under relaxed conditions. I am able to perceive how my clients interact; what Love Language they share; if they are comfortable touching and kissing while in the midst of others; or if they are shy and private during their romantic moments? It is beyond my professional­ism to request that my bride and groom participate in any pictorial setting on their wedding day that would cause them embarrassment or discomfort. I have learned from my history of photograph­ing many weddings that the bride and groom will experience many unknowns and many unexpected challenges during their memo­rable day. I make sure that they know, well ahead of the wedding that I am the only predictable person who they can depend on during this celebration of their love. This confidence that I instill in my bride and groom is manifested when I direct a once hesitant groom to relax and follow my directions for a natural pose. He is able to feel confident that I will produce an amaz­ing image that he and his bride will cherish for life.

I am committed to first develop a trust level with my clients which like the foundation for an architecturally sound home will allow me to build a friendship which then allows the three of us to grow with inspira­tion and compassion for our mis­sion of memo­ries. During the engagement view­ing session, I want to know upfront what they don’t like about them­selves in a photo. On their wedding day, I do my best to avoid those angles, which they have informed me about. Many once shy and embarrassed future brides and grooms quickly develop confidence in my direc­tions when I guide them through poses during our engagement session. One way this is accomplished is by allowing them to view their image on the back of my camera to recognize the value of my expertise.

Through my profes­sional motto of Every wed­ding has to be captured as if it were my wedding, I am able to create an air of relaxation and confidence in my bride and groom that can make them want to request me to pho­tograph their future memorable moments.

I often try to photograph from afar and give the bride and groom as much personal space as pos­sible. I like to let them close their eyes and enjoy their moments. It keeps things romantic and allows their emotions to show through. Some of my best images are captured by just letting them be themselves.
