You inspire and impress me. The honor of telling your story will likely make me feel like I’m on a worldwide excursion, whether photographing your wedding in a stylish DC hotel, or at the Ritz in Paris! You can count on this — I would be overjoyed and flattered to not only photograph your wedding, but to be your cheer squad through marriage, and your friend too.
Documenting her own family’s history is deeply important to Anji, so she loves to tell a couple's story to future generations through her photography. Pete likes making people happy, and photographing weddings allows him to give our couples something that will bring smiles to their faces for years to come.
I love photographing weddings because I believe in the unique beauty of every love story. And I believe in images that bring back how couples felt on their special day. I'm not a huge fan of chairs, shoes, and cufflinks - rather I love going off-script and capturing the real.
I love photographing weddings because its the couple's most important day of their lives together and there is so much that is put in to the day. Every tiny detail is thought about and as a photographer I get capture all of that for them. When the wedding is over the only thing left to re-live the day are their photos and its so important for me capture the whole essence of the day.
I am a wedding photographer because I love the idea of preserving memories through my camera. When my couples flip though their wedding album, the photos make them smile, maybe laugh, or remind them how happy they were. This is why I do what I do, I provide a window on one of the most meaningful day of their life.
About a decade ago, I was a studio pupil and wedding photo assistant for a Richmond photographer. While I still enjoy being a "second shooter," there's nothing like being able to sort through and edit images you took yourself! In doing this, I get to relive the special emotions captured throughout the day. Honestly, who doesn't love the genuine smiles after the Officiant announces the couple?
Our philosophy as documentary photographers is that life is most beautiful when it is lived! While photographing weddings and families we aim to highlight the natural, honest, and raw emotion that exists within the most cherished moments of our life. Our team loves that weddings are one of the most emotional and pivotal moments in people’s lives and we are always honored to be a small part of it!
Do you believe in timeless over trendy, authentic over posed, and that there's nothing contradictory about a modern classic? I do too. I'm a photographer of weddings, and I'd love to capture your love story.
Your wedding day will be filled with MOMENTS…sweet hugs, maybe a few tears, probably some laughter, and (if we’re lucky) some crazy fun dancing. These are the details I love to catch – the ones you won’t necessarily see on your big day, but the ones you will look back on and re-live over and over as you flip through your wedding album. See you on the dance floor! :)
