During a wedding, I tend toward the photo-journalistic: I stay out of the way and photograph candid, natural moments as they happen. I feel that the true emotion of a wedding day is where the real beauty is, and my goal is to capture that to the best of my ability. I like images that are dynamic, that tell a story. Of course I’ll take the bride and groom, family and bridal party photos you’d like during a set portrait session time, but aside from that I usually don’t tell people to smile and look at the camera unless they ask me to. Throughout the day, I take time to capture all of the details that are often painstakingly planned and put together, and really try to get the feel and ambiance of the event. For the most part, however, I let the celebration unfold naturally, and I love being along for the ride!
