Capturing Your Story
Capturing the moments
of your special day is my role.
The spirit of your day
lives in the passing events. Some are so fleeting they go unnoticed. However, if
recognized & recorded sensitively, they amplify & enhance your memories - days,
months and even years later.
There's a kind of magic
in this process – images, music, words - the important ones unfold without direction.
It takes a combination of talents to see and record these moments - a sensitivity to mood
- an eye for the special. I am present for your whole day, not just a few hours -
working quietly - making sure your memories are not lost.
When I photograph, I'm
restless, moving constantly through the scene. Oddly, I'm also nearly invisible.
You'll know I'm there but most guests (& grooms!) don't notice me.*
Afterwards, I spend
several days building the compilation of your day - your story. This takes the eye
of a magazine editor, the creative of a graphic artist and, sometimes, poetic visual
skills.
In those days after
your wedding, I pull together your story via extensive editing. I document it in
multiple forms but always with the intent to capture it's unique imagery.
In wedding
photography, this is often called "wedding photojournalism" or
"documentation photography".
I've always called it
"capturing stories". Beautiful
memories are it's natural consequence.
