WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Imagine your wedding day – what does your heart truly desire? As your special day unfolds and eventually concludes, my deepest wish is for you to vividly recall the overwhelming joy and love you felt, moments so captivating that they seemed to pause time itself. These instances, along with the people and the intricate details that breathe life into them, are what I believe you'll cherish endlessly.
Capturing the essence of your unique love story through my photography is a passion of mine. I take delight in hearing about your romantic journey and translating it into visual narratives. I meticulously plan your photography schedule, ensuring ample time is dedicated to portraits, allowing us to capture the depth of your bond. Expect to find a new friend in me, as I blend seamlessly into your circle, celebrating alongside you, your partner, and your entire wedding party.
ABOUT ME
As a distinguished wedding photographer with a remarkable 30-year career in photography, my journey into the realm of nuptial photography began in 2019. My extensive background as a brand and fashion photographer, with work published in prestigious magazines including Vogue, has profoundly influenced my approach to wedding photography.
My unique style is a seamless blend of the meticulous attention to detail honed from brand and fashion photography and the emotive, story-telling aspects essential in capturing the essence of a wedding. Each wedding I photograph is approached with the same level of professionalism and artistic flair that I bring to high-fashion shoots, ensuring that every moment, from the subtle glances to the grand emotions, is captured with clarity and beauty.
For each wedding, I develop a customized inspiration board, similar to my process in brand photography. This tailored approach allows me to understand and visualize the couple's unique story and style, ensuring that the photos reflect their personality and the essence of their special day. This method not only aids in creating a cohesive visual narrative but also ensures that every detail, no matter how small, is given due consideration and captured in a way that complements the overall aesthetic of the wedding.
In just a few years since I ventured into wedding photography, I have had the privilege of photographing nearly 100 weddings. This experience has not only honed my skill in capturing the myriad facets of a wedding day but has also deepened my appreciation for the unique beauty and emotion inherent in each celebration. My goal as a wedding photographer is to create a timeless record of your day, one that you will cherish and revisit for years to come, just as you would with the most captivating story in a beloved magazine.

Through my lens, I celebrate the magic of wedding days, crafting a visual narrative that is as timeless as it is heartfelt.
David was exceptionally attentive, ensuring our wedding photos were exactly what we envisioned.
