Journalistic Photography
I have been a journalistic style portrait photographer for most of my career. I have a gift for capturing moments and feelings in people that are in motion. I know that may sound weird, but this means you do not need to pose, stand still or be staged to receive beautiful and natural looking images.
JOURNALISTIC-LIKE AND POSED FAMILY FORMALS
I'll document the day as it's happening, put you in great light and capture images with little interruption.
I'll photograph family formals with camera aware portraits and journalistic, candid portraits where no one is looking at the camera.
Create the list of family portraits you would like....hand it off to someone who knows everyone to organize on the day of and we'll shoot it quickly so you can get on with the rest of your wedding day.
LIGHTLY DIRECTED AND POSED FAMILY FORMALS
Do you need direction in front of the camera? Do you want me to help you throughout the whole process by keeping you in motion and giving you subtle cues? The best way to pull this off on your wedding day is to schedule an engagement session.
In an engagement session, you'll learn how to be in front of the camera and you'll learn subtle cues I give to create great portraits. If you choose not to do an engagement session, you'll need a full hour of portrait time on your wedding day in order for us to create the level of emotion and candid photos you see in our portfolio.
Don't worry, if you need me to direct you the entire day...... I can do that too.
TRADITIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
A traditional wedding photographer typically will work off a shot list and create camera aware portraits in certain locations. The scenes will be scouted beforehand and the couple will be perfectly posed and styled.
ME..... I'll spend up to an hour alone with my couple wherever they choose to go. We'll walk around together and when I see great light we'll stop and i'll take pictures. I try and keep my couples in motion for the most natural looking photos and even when i'm close up i'll photograph them just talking and interacting together. I lot of times they don't even know I'm taking pictures.
I want to give my couples a really great variety of images from their day so I will do a few traditional photos as well. I will also create beautiful portraits-capes which are photos with a great scene or location with a bride and groom
