WEDDINGS AT FOREIGN CINEMA

Being a documentary wedding photographer doesn’t mean I won’t interact with anyone or not take ANY portraits or group photos. It means your experience won’t be interrupted for the sake of a photograph, that the images made for you come from organic moments that are not fabricated or manufactured by me.

Your wedding day is about love, community, and connection - not about photos. We’ll craft a simple photo timeline that reflects your priorities - quick, classic portraits and family photos before the ceremony so you can enjoy the day fully.

Of course! Family portraits are still important historical documentations, likely one of the rare times everyone is together and dressed to their best, and probably the photographs you’ll first turn to when sending someone a print. I’ll photograph the list of family photos you give me quickly and efficiently so that they are easy and painless for everyone.

Nearly all of my clients say this, you’re not alone :)

When it’s time for classic portraits and family photos, I’ll guide you to the best light, offer natural, simple directions, and keep it brief so you feel comfortable and at ease. No fake laughs or forced serious faces needed, and no need to spend hours away from your guests.

The wonderful thing about weddings is that it doesn’t need to revolve around photography. Live into your day and be present, and the photographs will simply reflect that.

Because I’m always searching for that decisive moment, I shoot digital for weddings so I don’t miss a beat.

Alongside making sure I avoid those half-blinks or half expressions by being able to take multiple images of the same scene, my workflow currently works best with modern gear that is flexible in all types of lighting conditions and that have the ability to write data in two separate cards for redundancy. I’m able to back up the images further on hard drives once I get home as well, and I am not at the mercy of the postal system to handle your images.

Regardless of the medium, do you like the end result and the way my photographs make you feel?

Your wedding gallery is typically delivered 4-6 weeks after the wedding. For a full day wedding you can expect about 450-600 final images.

Images are delivered as high-resolution JPG files available to download through your online gallery.

You have full personal usage rights, including printing and sharing.

I photograph nearly all weddings as a single shooter as a personal preference, and my clients appreciate the smaller media footprint this leaves at their event and allows me to blend in well to get those candids.

There are times when adding a second photographer is beneficial to your coverage, such as:

1. You’re getting ready in two different locations and want coverage of each side at the same time.

2. You’ve invested heavily into the details and design of your wedding and want to ensure those are captured comprehensively.

3. Your timeline has a lot going on, and you prefer not to see each other before the ceremony.

Talk to me about your vision and hopes for the wedding, and I will help you decide whether your coverage would genuinely benefit from a second photographer.

Yep! I have loads of back up equipment, and equipment and liability insurance as all professional photographers should have. If your venue needs me to send a COI, just let me know ahead of time.

This is a very serious situation that I do not take lightly. I would never want to leave my couple without a photographer on one of the most important days of their lives. While I have a network of trusted photographers I could turn to to cover for me if serious sickness / medical emergency should happen to me, my work and reputation is very important to me. Only death or complete physical injury preventing me from leaving a hospital bed would prevent me from showing up to your wedding. I take major precautions to make sure I am in tip top shape to photograph your wedding. I can proudly say that in my 11 years of photographing weddings, I have never missed a wedding. And if I needed extra physical help, I would make arrangements without impacting your experience.

If you cancel the wedding, you will forfeit the retainer that held your date. If you are postponing due to circumstances beyond your control (such as 2020), you can transfer your existing retainer to a new date, as long as I am available for the new date.

In order to reserve your date, I need a signed contract and a 50% retainer. Everything is done easily online through a booking portal.
