The thing I love most about photographing weddings is the atmosphere. It's the fact that it's one day where your friends and family stop time to celebrate your relationship.

I think capturing special memories is a result of creating great experiences and letting people feel comfortable. I’m partial to making myself look like an idiot to see others smile, keeping conversation alive to make you feel comfortable and giving gentle direction, so you don’t have to guess what to do.

I'm a no bullshit kind of person and I approach weddings with the same attitude. I don't think there should be any pressure on you to pose and feel comfortable having your photo taken. I'm there to document the day, not be in control of it. 

My approach to photographing couples is pretty relaxed. I like to let you do you, but I also love helping guide you through your day. Whether that be making timeline recommendations, helping with a bit of direction during your portrait session, or moving things along during family photos to stay on track. I'm pretty happy to be as involved as you need me to be, to keep things calm and fun.

The portrait session is an easy 20 minutes of walking. laughing, joking and as little or as much PDA as you're comfortable with. It's your show.  

This photo is a strong representation of my style. At this moment Taylor's family were gathering people for their family photo. Most people would wait until everyone was ready to photograph them, but when I saw this scene it felt like a real life metaphor. The family were fussing over who was meant to be in the photo, who was missing, how they should stand, but Taylor's grandma was oblivious to trivial factors, just happy to be there with her family. It highlights how she is the rock of their family, the one who slows them down and makes them appreciate each other. 

My galleries are a collection of these in between, seemingly unfinished moments. Only around 10% of my galleries are couples portraits, while having beautiful photos of the two of you together is important, my aim is to give you a lifetime of memories of the people you love.

My perfect timeline would be to have you spend the afternoon with your friends and family creating these priceless memories, then duck out for 20 minutes at sunset for portraits.
