My approach
These aren't just photos. These are stories. Your stories.
I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, + I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, + makes for a timeless photo.
Back to your love story. This is about how hard you both love, how hard you both laugh and those happy tears shed in the middle. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are + let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most.
Since I am a natural light photographer, I edit with warm tones in mind, and what you see on this site is my continued style. While I love those Pinterest photos, I love clients to keep an open mind about their photos + not to compare themselves. Not one photo will ever been the same between clients, so don't worry about photo shopping through websites - strive to bring you and your story + let me capture that.
