* FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE FOR WEDDINGS

My work is rooted in intentionality and connection using a documentary approach. On a wedding day, my goal is to capture the truth of your relationship and the genuine moments as they unfold. The moments versus the super posed photographs. I’m immensely inspired by the nostalgia that comes with looking through old photographs, taking you back to the moment of how it felt. That is how I want you to feel when you look back on these photographs - like you’re reliving your most treasured moments.
WHY FILM?

i love using a mixture of film, digital and polaroids in my work. To me, film captures the real emotions of a moment. The nostalgia, rawness, grain and intentionality are the main reasons why I choose to shoot on film. Film allows me to stay present in the moment instead of instinctively looking at the back of my camera screen to see how the photo turned out. Instead of freely pressing the shutter button, each image is made with intention.
but, we are awkward!

Don’t be worried! Trust me, I’ve been there too and many of my clients think the same way. Even though I focus on capturing candid moments, I will be there to guide you to get you moving and interacting so you feel comfortable. All I ask is for your trust and don’t be afraid to be vulnerable.
do you send the raws?

As an artist, I believe editing is a critical step of my process where part of the creativity happens. Without editing, the photos are only halfway done and for that reason, I do not send unedited images
