The
Wedding Photography Portfolio

galleries ed.

Real Weddings in Real Places

I don't believe in a playbook - a list of shots, get in get out, and repeat. I believe in observation, in spontaneity, in documenting and in artistic vision. Weddings are meant to be experienced, and your wedding photographs should reflect that - from start to finish. While the portfolio, in the traditional sense, is represented in a gallery of singular favorites, this is the body of work that I hope will win you over. I put a lot of care and attention into documenting all parts of a wedding day and believe, so passionately, that the most compelling wedding photographs tell a story. I could describe to you in detail that which I love about each portion of the wedding day, but I'd rather let the images speak to this sentiment. Below are a few of my favorite wedding galleries, showcasing personal favorites from the quietest moments of getting ready through the final steps on the dance floor.
