All the big moments, and the little ones too. The small (and not so small) details that you poured your heart into. The gentle touches, the fun times, raw emotion, and the tears. The photos will be what's left, and they will always bring you right back to that special day.

OK, real talk. I love a beautiful bride and groom portrait more than anyone... but the RAW and REAL is what gets me. My couples value their friends and family more than anything. If they are at your wedding, they mean the world to you. Capturing those truly amazing moments of emotional interaction is what brings me life, and makes me unique as a photographer.

Camera and editing technology is amazing these days, and you don't need years of training to take a gorgeous photo anymore. You do, however, need the experience to anticipate the moment before it happens, and to be in the right place at the right time. Those photos are usually my favorites, and are unexpected little gifts for my couples.
