My journey to becoming a full-time wedding photographer began as a photojournalist working for newspapers. While I loved the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of journalism, I found myself increasingly drawn to the beauty and emotion of weddings.
At first, I started shooting weddings on the side, mainly for the extra income. But as I became more involved in the wedding industry, I realized that capturing the moments and emotions of a wedding day was just as rewarding as covering breaking news or events.
Looking back, I realize that my experience as a photojournalist was invaluable in preparing me for the challenges of wedding photography. It taught me how to anticipate and capture decisive moments, how to work under pressure, and how to tell a compelling story through images.
Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to do what I love every day and to create images that will be cherished for a lifetime. Wedding photography allows me to combine my passion for photography with my love of people and storytelling, and I am honored to be able to capture the love and joy of each couple’s special day.

I began to develop my own style of wedding photography, combining my photojournalistic instincts with a more artistic and editorial approach. I found that I could use my skills as a storyteller to capture the unique personalities and emotions of each couple, creating images that were both beautiful and meaningful.

As a wedding photographer, it’s important for me to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for my clients during their photo shoot. I understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, so I make a conscious effort to ensure that my clients feel at ease throughout the entire process.
One of the ways I achieve this is by getting to know my clients on a personal level prior to their wedding day. By building a rapport with them, I am able to understand their personalities and preferences, and can tailor my approach to their unique needs.
During the photo shoot itself, I use a variety of techniques to help my clients feel more comfortable and relaxed. One of these techniques is to provide gentle direction and encouragement, such as giving them tips on how to stand or pose in a way that feels natural and flattering. I also make sure to check in with them regularly throughout the shoot to ensure that they are happy with how everything is going.
In addition, I make it a priority to create a positive and fun environment during the shoot. By keeping the mood light and enjoyable, my clients are more likely to feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.
Another important factor in making my clients feel comfortable is to provide clear communication and expectations. I make sure to discuss the details of the photo shoot beforehand, so my clients know what to expect and feel prepared. I also provide guidance on what to wear and bring, as well as any other logistical details that may help them feel more at ease.
Overall, my goal as a wedding photographer is to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for my clients. By building a relationship with them, providing gentle direction and encouragement, and creating a positive and fun atmosphere, I am able to ensure that my clients feel comfortable and relaxed during their photo shoot.

Capturing all of the important moments on a wedding day is one of the most important aspects of being a wedding photographer. It requires a combination of experience, planning, and the ability to anticipate and react quickly to changing situations.
To ensure that I capture all of the important moments on a wedding day, I always begin by thoroughly discussing the wedding timeline and photography expectations with the couple well in advance of the big day. This allows me to create a detailed shot list and plan my approach to each part of the day, from getting ready to the ceremony, reception, and everything in between.
On the day of the wedding, I arrive early to scout the location and ensure that I am fully prepared with all of the necessary equipment. I also make sure to communicate regularly with the couple and their wedding planner to ensure that I am aware of any last-minute changes or adjustments to the timeline.
During the wedding day, I am constantly scanning the environment for moments to capture, whether it is a loving glance between the couple, a laugh shared between family members, or a touching moment during the ceremony. I also work closely with the couple to make sure they feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which allows me to capture genuine emotions and reactions.
In addition to being aware of the moments as they happen, I also employ a variety of technical and compositional techniques to ensure that my images are of the highest quality. This includes using the right camera settings, lighting, and angles to capture each moment in the best possible way.
After the wedding, I take great care in selecting and editing the images to ensure that each one tells a unique story and captures the essence of the day. I also work closely with the couple to ensure that they are happy with the final product and that their expectations have been met.
Overall, capturing all of the important moments on a wedding day requires a combination of planning, experience, and skill. By working closely with the couple, staying aware of the environment, and employing the right techniques, I am able to provide my clients with a beautiful and comprehensive collection of images that will be cherished for a lifetime.

As a wedding photographer, my favorite part of the wedding day is capturing the real, unscripted moments that happen throughout the day. While the portraits and group shots are important, it’s the candid moments that truly capture the essence of the day and the couple’s unique story.
From the emotional moments during the ceremony to the fun and laughter shared during the reception, every wedding is full of authentic moments that cannot be planned or staged. I love being able to document these moments as they happen, allowing the couple to relive those memories for years to come.
What I find most special about capturing these real moments is that each wedding is completely different. Even if I were to photograph the same venue and the same details multiple times, the unique personalities and relationships of the couple and their guests make every wedding unique.
I believe that it’s these real moments that truly capture the love and connection between the couple and their loved ones. Whether it’s a shared laugh, a happy tear, or a heartfelt embrace, these moments are what make each wedding special and unforgettable.
Capturing these real moments requires a keen eye and quick reflexes, as these moments can happen in the blink of an eye. It’s important to be prepared, anticipate the unexpected, and always be ready to capture that perfect shot.
Overall, my favorite part of the wedding day is being able to capture the genuine emotions and interactions between the couple and their loved ones, creating a collection of images that tell the story of their special day in the most authentic way possible.
