• I know times are less than ideal right now, but I’m super excited for the minimony and sequel wedding trend! My job is to be present and document the here and now. As crazy as times are right now, we are living what will be in history books. We’ll be telling our kids, grandkids, great-grandkids one day about these WILD times. What an interesting twist and spin of a story of images to have to help tell your truth.

  • I spent this quiet morning looking through past wedding galleries. ⁣ ⁣ As an artist, it’s important for me to see what I did right and what I could do better.⁣ ⁣ I went through this November 2019 wedding and i got teary eyed. I felt like I was a part of Rachael and Stevie’s day. I was able to relive this day with them. I remember every single thing that happened that day, from start to finish. It’s not about documenting those typical photos you see like the close up of the best man giving a speech, of course I’ll get one... but rather documenting how your guests see it happening, how YOU see it happening... the reactions of your guests. Those are the things most miss, but those are the things we remember the most!

  • To have a second shooter or not to have a second shooter, that is the question. ⁣ While I can’t speak for all photographers, personally I like to treat each wedding as a case by case basis. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s a few things I consider when deciding if a second shooter is necessary:⁣ ⁣ Are photos of bride AND groom getting ready important? Where’s the getting ready location(s)? Are you doing a first look? Are photos done before the ceremony or after? How important are detail photos? How big is the wedding party? How many guests are attending? Are most from out of town?⁣ ⁣ Not everyone has the same priorities. Some may prioritize receptions/their guests over getting ready photos. Some aren’t having a wedding party. While others want every detail photographed. ⁣ ⁣ Above anything, I want to understand what’s most important to you. What your vision is. What you want to see and feel when you’re flipping through your wedding album, months and years after the big day. ⁣ ⁣ My tips: If you’re having under 150 guests, first look and most photos done prior to your ceremony, no second shooter is needed. If you’re having 250 guests, no first look, no group photos prior to ceremony and 3+ hours in between your ceremony and reception, you’d benefit having a second shooter. ⁣ ⁣ Knowing what’s important to you and logistics of your day is a big part of being a photographer. After all, we’re the experts and know how we work best. I shoot 90% of my weddings solo. I can cover a lot of ground alone and have Ninja like moves! When it comes to a second shooter, just know they’re not always needed, but there are times when it’s necessary and it’s our job as your photographer to tell you WHY. By the way, this wedding seen here I shot solo. 😉
