Wedding Photography

Maybe it is because I am a woman, but I just love shooting weddings. While many of my colleagues lament the stress and pressure of weddings, I embrace the event. As a photojournalist, I deal with the stress and pressure of getting the best shots, those which cannot be repeated, everyday. I know how important a wedding is and take the responsibility seriously.  It is my background in photojournalism that has greatly influenced my approach to weddings. In addition to the proverbial formal poses, which are always a standard, I specialize in candid photos that capture the emotions as well as document the events of the day.

These candid photos come from carefully observing and following the special people involved in the event, searching for those “real” moments and capturing them. While I follow and cover every important stage of the day, I fade into the background and take pictures without being obtrusive.

Unlike many wedding photographers who tend to "direct" the events of the day, I photograph events as they happen. You won't find me demanding the bride and groom to cut the cake or throw the bouquet at a certain time, although I may gently suggest it if it seems appropriate. I photograph the events as they unfold working well with the other professionals, whom you have hired to share and document your event for you. The photography for the day is finished when the last photo that needs to be taken, is. You should feel free to contact the references, I provide in package information I can send, of couples and the parents of couples whose weddings I have photographed, for first hand accounts of my work.

Your spontaneous moments will be captured and make for the types of photos that are memorable and unique. They will reflect the personalities of the couple, their family, relatives, friends and all those involved in their special day.  While I have been using film to document weddings, I have recently begun to shoot digital, a medium I have been using as a photojournalist since 1999. I am happy with the results and can offer more options including black and white and some special effects that can add a creative flair to your photos.  Please feel free to ask me any questions so I can better cater to your needs.
