I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR STORY

LET'S CONNECT

As a documentary wedding photographer in Virginia, I’m not only in Virginia but around the world. I tell love stories based on raw emotions in the most organic way! I believe the characteristic of a good wedding photographer is their ability to connect. A good photographer should always connect with their subject, resulting in a photo that connects people to a moment that was captured. That’s what memories are, after all – a close and personal link to a moment, framed by what we saw there. These connections are making a good photo. These connections are what I live for! I think you will find my enthusiasm. So I believe the best photos are made when they’re sincere.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY VIRGINIA

If you’re getting married in Virginia & surrounding areas, please drop me a line about what you envision for your big day. You can check out my wedding portfolio to get an idea of my work. I shoot the wedding from a guest perspective. I do not arrange your guests or change your plans. My role at your wedding is the observer. I wait to capture emotions as they unfold. The only thing you may hear is my camera’s shutter. I do not follow trends or mimic styles, my framing, lenses, composition, and perspective with my editing style – these are my artistic values. I use these values to fine-tune and tell your story in my most effective and natural way. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Virginia or wedding videographer in Virginia and the surrounding area or anywhere in the world, then we should meet up! I look forward to sharing our next big adventure with you 🙂

WEDDING STORIES | THE SEQUENCE

meet and greet

I try to keep things simple, as a first step I send out my collection offerings as you inquire, once you have looked through my offering, I then set up a time with the couple to hear their love story over a cup of coffee locally or via Skype. You both get the opportunity to ask me any questions you have about your wedding day. I try to ease the pain by sharing some valuable wedding photography tips for a smooth process. I share how I work and what is essential for you to know. It enables you to get to know me better, and this is because I know it’s a challenge to invite a stranger with a camera to document your wedding day.
