I believe that you're meant to feel something when you look at your photos. They should take you back to what your life was like at any given moment. Aside from specific photos you want to ensure we get, I throw the shot list out the window, and capture all the things happening in the moment. I have a string of tricks to help couples, and families interact and live in front of the camera, so if you're nervous about feeling awkward, fear not - you're not alone, and I will guide you every step of the way.
I capture the big and small moments so you can have a true recollection of your celebration. As cheesy as it may sound, I believe you should be able to feel the moment captured when you look at a picture. My work is led by you, your community, and the energy of the day. I shoot a mixture of film and digital for all weddings, and also offer all-film weddings upon request because film is the best!
This isn't your typical engagement shoot - think about it like you're planning a fun date or spending a cozy Sunday morning at home, business as usual, and I just happen to be there ...with a camera (I promise I'm a fun hang). We're capturing your true essence and unique dynamic as a couple so you can look back on your photos years from now and think "wow I remember what our life was back then and look how adorableeee we areee".
Whether you want a Day in the Life of you and your family brushing your teeth and making pancakes, going to Disneyland, or just getting simple family portraits (that feel like you) to frame and share with loved ones - I've got you covered. This will feel like an honest view of your current life, less photoshoot-vibes, and more like scheduling time away from work to play and connect with family...with a friendly stranger tagging along!
Whether you're looking to get a few simple portraits that feel warm, approachable, interesting, and not too pose-y, or you're wanting to be captured in action to share the essence of your business with the world and what you do (and get a ton of content for your website and socials) - I'm here for it! And we'll make it pretty!
