Why hire a documentary style photographer for your wedding.
What is documentary style and why should you care?
There’s no better feeling than being free to be who you are at your core. To not hold anything back. It’s only when I truly realized this, my passion for documenting moments for others was realized.
I want to document your unfiltered connection, two people in love without expectations - naturally, free, present! I want to invite you to focus on who you are in real life and get photos that transform you back to those moments in time.
For me, storytelling is personal. I used to never want to photograph weddings because I had this preconceived notion that those photos are full of fake and staged shots. I am thankful that I changed my perception and changed how I want to show up in my business. I dream of you looking over your album as you would at old timey photos, reliving those moments, laughing and crying over life.
Unconditional love is everything in life. When you find that person that just gets you, it’s magical. You can let go of expectations and be who you are. Why not have a photographer that can capture this connection? One who does not stifle you to fit some cookie-cutter wedding Pinterest board….
With me, you can just enjoy your big day with all your important people that you have gathered together under one roof to celebrate having found that unconditional love.
You don’t want a stuffy timeline full of posed shots, fake laughter, photos that don’t speak to your soul. I am going to be there to capture life’s moments, not stage them.
So what if the room is messy while you are getting ready, let’s capture it that way! If you want to get ready separately, together, have a first look, not have a first look. We are going to go with what the two of you want for your wedding day.
The guys hanging out and playing a little pool or golf while girls are getting makeup done? Let’s capture that. The girls laughing in the kitchen over a family inside joke? Let’s capture that. Grandma giving you big hugs and squeezing you tight? I am here for it. Everyone getting wild at the reception? I am here for it!
My mission is for you to be at your own cocktail hour, to be present and in the moment, to enjoy and prioritize your precious time surrounded by your loved ones. My calling is to preserve all of it: the connections, the smiles, the laughter, the crying, the happiness and love and everything in between.
The true gift of documentary photography is for you to be you, to be carefree, to be silly, weird, and never ever judged for it. Instead, for your day to be celebrated, for you to be uncaged.
My why is for you to look at your wedding photos and think “that’s so us!”.
