The experience
What actually happens between the first email and the finished gallery.
What actually happens between the first email and the finished gallery.
You write, I reply within a day. If the date is free we get on a call: half an hour, no pitch, mostly me asking questions about the two of you and the place you've chosen.
A month out we build the timeline together, hour by hour. I'll visit the venue if I haven't shot there. You'll know exactly when I arrive and what we'll make time for.
I show up early and calm. I photograph what happens, steer gently when it helps, and keep the portrait session to twenty unhurried minutes at the best light of the day.
A preview lands the morning after. The full gallery follows within six weeks: edited by hand, easy to share, ready to print. Then we design the album together.
On the day
I carry everything I need in one bag and I don't bring an assistant with a light stand. Guests tend to assume I'm a friend with a camera, which is exactly the point.
If something runs late, we adapt. If it rains, we make rain photographs, which are often the best ones.
The timeline she built was the single most useful document in our whole wedding. Our planner asked for a copy.
