STYLE

Many photographers will claim to shoot weddings as a photojournalist, but labels are easy to throw around. I approach your wedding day quietly and unobtrusively, with a fierce determination to record it authentically as a documentarian.

In practical terms, that means I won't make the groom "dip" the bride, I won't spend hours putting the couple through a mock fashion shoot, I won't put the bride's veil over the groom's head, and I won't make the wedding party all jump at the same time. I have an uncompromising style for clients who know they don't want cliché wedding photography, but would rather have honest, surprising, and deeply personal images of their wedding day.
