Why I Love Wedding Photography
Wedding photography is a beautiful thing. It’s one of the few genres of photography where you are truly capturing raw emotion and that’s what drew me to wedding photography. It’s the emotion, the unexpected, the love and happiness, the tears in Dad's eyes, the moment Mom see's her daughter in her dress for the first time, the look on the grooms face during a first look, the first kiss, and guest killing it on the dance floor. I love all of it! It's what keeps me coming back for more and I wouldn't trade what I do for anything. Plus weddings are just fun!
My Favorite Part of a Wedding Day
I truly love all the parts of a wedding day. From getting ready to guest killing it on the dance floor, I love it all. If I were forced to pick my favorite part of a wedding day, it would have to be the first dance. For me as a photographer the first dance allows me to capture emotion unlike anything else. The stress and anxiety of all the planning has been washed away from the couple and I find the first dance is when you see true love come to light. There are no distractions; it’s only the couple, on the dance floor, in front of all their family and friends sharing what I see as an intimate moment. Laughter, crying, smiles, and love, it’s just plain awesome!
