My mom loves to tell this story of when I was four years old and we had a rude encounter at a drive through line. She says that whenever we drove away, even at age four, I understood something about unkind people. I said "How embarrassing...for her!"
The choice you make as a wedding photographer has so much more weight than you may realize because photographers spend the majority of your day with you, the only vendor to do that. With this huge responsibility, I believe in leading with respect and kindness, always. To think of you and your well-being above my own. To allow you to feel heard, served and valued throughout.
I am a wedding photographer but I am also (hopefully) going to be so much more than that for you, too. I want you to love your wedding photos but more importantly, I want you to have the best wedding day possible. That starts with me.
