I'm a documentary-style wedding photographer, known for capturing what I lovingly call the "marriage-themed dinner party". I work with couples who plan their weddings from a place of gratitude for their community; who believe that good food and hospitality are the best ways to share their love. Documentary wedding photography is observant and story-focused.
It lets you be yourself. I show up to create honest photographs - I'm fully present and un-interrupting. I shoot in a way that lets you, your partner and your community act and react naturally; to forget that you're being photographed and instead just be. It's a quiet, centered method of shooting: no bossing around, no comedy bits. Weddings are a lot of things, but at their core they're about bringing together the people you love to celebrate your lifelong commitment to one another.
Gathering around the table to feed your community, to express gratitude for what you have in each other and to share hope for the future is all I really think your wedding day needs.

Services
From the beginning of our relationship, I'm available for questions, brainstorming, timeline consultations, etc. You'll know what to expect and when to expect it - when we'll plan a venue visit, when we'll go over your family portraits list.
As we get closer to the wedding I'm a phone call away, but things will already be set so you can focus on spending time together and enjoying your last few weeks of planning.
On your wedding day, things will feel easy and laid back - you two and your guests will feel comfortable having me around, and when we're alone just the three of us you'll be relaxed and enjoying the quiet time together.
