Nice light, an uncluttered background, a balanced composition, and a connectedness between the subject/s and the camera are what, I believe, make a great portrait. As your wedding photographer, it’s my job to find and/or create these ideal elements. This is why we scout every location a couple of weeks before the wedding, so that we are prepared to create the best possible portraits on your wedding day, in a way that is fun and relaxing for you!

They love you unconditionally. They have watched you grow and change. They have supported you and been there for some, if not all, of the most important events in your life. On your wedding day, your parents will likely be as excited and nervous as you are. They want your wedding day to be everything that you hoped it would be and more. I like to think that weddings are not only a celebration of the love of two people, but they are a chance for your parents and your families to celebrate their love for you, as well.

As wonderful as it is photographing the newlyweds having fun at their wedding, I must admit that I also love photographing the parents of the couples having the time of their lives. :)
