MY APPROACH

YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS SHOULD BE lived NOT POSED

My approach is all about capturing those raw, authentic emotions. Because the most beautiful moments aren’t the ones that are created but ones that are lived. I allow the day to unfold naturally so I can capture the real emotions that happen in the in between.
