Why I photograph weddings, and some others won't (click for more)

Why photograph weddings?

I know so many photographers who refuse to do weddings. They say it’s too emotionally-charged, too fast-paced, too personal, too repetitive, too risky, and uncontrollable, and too labor-intensive. Those, my friends, are precisely all of the reasons I love to photograph weddings.

Aren’t weddings too emotionally-charged?

Yes, and that’s what draws me to them. I laugh and cry at every wedding. There are unexpected emotions that come up during weddings, and I’m there for all of it.

Aren’t weddings too fast-paced?

When I do commercial shoots, the art directors and teams always say, “You’re so fast!” At a wedding, you’re moving from a dark room, to a bright exterior, and then back inside; you’re asked to switch from photographing dancing, to small details, to setting up a family portrait in a matter of seconds. You have to be technically adept and at a moment’s notice.

“It’s my job to work at the speed of a snapshot, with the quality of a studio photographer.”

Secret passion: vintage photos. I shoot film and my assistant shoots digital. For all of us I’d say that’s a win-win. Inquire about this package.
We also provide video, and live social feed posting.
Normally I can’t commit that far ahead of time, but now I can.
