Some thoughts on Wedding Photography:

Wedding photography is perhaps the gold standard for photographers.

Yeah, I know - shooting riots and models and sports is tough but this is the most important day of someone's life and, unlike sports, there is usually only one (professional) person capturing the images.

I take it very seriously.

I dream about wedding photograpy and how I will make the next wedding even better than the last one I shot.

I plan the shots and fantasize about the images you and I will create. It's a collaboration after all working with a professional wedding photographer.

Taking photos of brides and grooms has to be the most pleasurable experience for a photographer - you're crazy in love, glowing and full of life. How can I not get caught up in all that passion?

Traditional, Photojournalist (Candid) and Contemporary style photography. You choose but you know I love to catch the "moment".

For a bride and groom the wedding photographer is very often the longest lasting relationship among all the vendors. The venue is never visited again, the food eaten, the dress put away and the fancy invitations put in a drawer.

But you stay close to the photographer. You go over the proofs, "ooh" over the video montage and (maybe) back and forth on which amazing photos become the final 300.

Then you become a family, have a little one and now we're talking baby and family photos...it's a relationship which can last years. Choose wisely.
