There are few things in my world that top the excitement of being invited to explore somewhere new with the purpose of documenting someone's celebration of love. Although when this happens, I begin a wealth of preparation to ensure I'm informed enough to serve my couples as well as I would in a place that is familiar to me.
I research everything. If you're getting married at a venue, I look at their website and social media so I know as much of the space as possible before I set foot in it. For any location, I track lighting conditions, noting when the sun sets and rises. I look at weather patterns and climate. I review maps, trails, and any resource available that will make me as knowledgeable as one can be for this incredibly special, and deeply personal day.
Personally, I recommend booking between 6-12 months in advance. While this isn't always necessary, I do find that this time frame allows for adequate planning and preparation. I do not open my books farther than 1.5 years out.
However, any and all inquiries are welcome, even last-minute ones. I am always happy to connect, and invite you to do so as well.
The short answer is yes. Combining the timeless beauty of film with the versatility of digital photography, I deliver multi-media galleries of images that have been perceived by many as being both artistic and meaningful.
I currently offer 35mm film, Polaroid instant film, and Super 8. I think there is a magically unique quality to these documentary formats that give them the nostalgic power they're renowned for.
Every image is just a piece of a much larger story that's been in the making, while also still unfolding simultaneously. I make it a priority to observe every detail that surrounds the couple before me - their love languages, the environments or landscapes, how they've chosen to express themselves aesthetically, and how they display their values.
I compile all of my observations, and find ways to seamlessly immerse and connect them together throughout the day. It ultimately comes down to being intuitive and discreet, only interjecting when the time is right, and never compromising the quality of attentiveness to the present.
