There is no denying that weddings are stressful events. With a lot of practice and patience photographing weddings over the years I have mastered the art of putting people at ease on their special day. Just as I have learned to accept my own quirks I have turned these personality traits into an advantage that allow me to make clients feel comfortable and relaxed. In my work I strive to photograph couples that are thoughtful, quirky, and spirited, all while creating a wedding experience that is stress free and fun. By doing this I am able to capture my clients at their very best. When you take away the pressures of the world you are able to truly feel joy and trust me it shows in the photos. In my life I value relationships and with my clients I try to make each and every one feel like a friend rather than a business transaction. Through developing these relationships I’m able to break down the awkwardness, relieve stress and create an ideal environment for photography. I want you to know that I will be there for more than just your wedding photography needs. I truly care about my clients. Forgot your deodorant? Don’t worry you can borrow mine. Need someone to bustle your dress? I got it! Just need someone to crack some jokes with? Oh you know I got that. Trust me and everything will turn out great.
For me weddings are all about allowing couples to be their authentic selves. I know that word gets thrown out a lot, but I want my couples to feel free to be a little weird and not care. My approach is definitely more energetic than romantic. I LOVE a good party and often times that’s my favorite part of weddings. I love bringing out that joy and the thoughtful moments of your day. My couples are real people, that aren't regularly photographed. I've worked hard to find ways to make my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is exactly what I will do for you by providing the right environment. Creating a carefree wedding can be a difficult task but by being my weird and caring self seems to do the job for me! Does that sound like something you want on your wedding day? If so contact me!
Because real humans said these nice things about me
UMMMM duh! This is the question I get asked the most. Most of my clients, and by most I mean just about all, are not being photographed regularly so it's natural to feel a little weird. If I'm doing my job right though your anxiety will melt away and you will feel totally comfortable. I'll be cracking jokes the whole time you won't even notice that I have a camera in your face.
I'm based out of Oakland, CA which is right outside of San Francisco. But I'm happy to travel 😀
I know we live in a digital age and digital photos are important for backing up your day so a majority of my packages come with the high resolution digital edits from your wedding. You will get a link to your online gallery in about 6 - 8 weeks. I'm all about editing each and every photo and putting those finishing touches on each one.
