“We want to look back on our wedding and see how it made us all feel more alive.”

“The natural, unposed quality really resonates with us, like you’re catching the spirit of the moment rather than staging it.”

“We’re really interested in having a day where the photography feels additive and like it’s capturing what’s already there—not something separate or curated for another audience.”

“We want to be fully present in what’s happening, not pulled away or asked to perform.”

“So many people are play-acting their own weddings. They’re cosplaying what a bride is supposed to do, but many of us are just not good actors.”

“The idea of having to ‘perform bride’ just felt really suffocating to me.”

“You have to be willing to show your actual self and deal with the parts that you like and the parts that you don’t. I thought it was kind of weird to think about a wedding that hid certain parts of myself. It just wouldn’t feel like our wedding.”

“I want to look at it all with joy for decades, and that means authentic photos filled with emotions, movement, laughter, and our people.”

“We are not classic ‘picture takers’ and standing for hours of posed photos would not feel authentic to us.”

“We want to feel relaxed, present and joyful.”

“There are things that are traditional for a significant reason, and then there are things that are traditional that have been built in by something someone saw on Pinterest and then that becomes expectation.”

“After going to many weddings in my 20’s, I realized they were very paint-by-number. There were a lot of repeating elements that I never really found satisfying for my own wedding.”

“Since we’re eschewing many of the typical wedding conventions, we’ll treasure all the spontaneous moments captured that more genuinely define the day.”

“We hope to create our own rituals in this wedding to celebrate the love we’ve built and to center a heartfelt connection between our loved ones.”

“I want each photo to be a genuine memory. I don’t want to pull our people out of the moment to fake laughter for a photo opp.”

“We don't want to feel overly posed or performative on our wedding day.”

“We wanted someone to capture the joy, elation and passion. We weren’t looking to have a lot of staged photos.”

“We're both drawn to documentary style photography. The main focus for us will be capturing the day in it's true essence.”

“We want our wedding day to be focused on being in the moment with our friends and family.”

“I want to be able to feel like myself on my day and to remember how special it felt and how happy everyone was.”

“We would both love to be able to look back on our wedding photos and see the raw and real emotion us and our guests were going through.”

“I'm looking less for staged photos of my bridesmaids jumping on the bed and more for memories of candid moments and the connection between my partner and I.”

“Performing is exhausting. I didn’t want that for the day.”

“We want to remember the preciousness of this time—our people and ourselves—just as we are. Not posed or overly curated, but gently witnessed.”

“If you don’t get the shot of the veil blowing in the wind, did you even get married?”

“She saw your page and said, ‘hey, I want you to look at this.’ And I said, ‘yeah, but it doesn’t look like wedding photography.’ And she said, ‘right, but think about it.’”

“We're a quirky couple and want our and our guests' personalities and the authenticity of the day to come across in our wedding photos.”

“There’s an intensity of emotion that makes moments feel real and draws you in. I’d love to have that rather than the ‘perfect’ shot.”

“I’ve been in weddings with a very scheduled set-list of photos. That works great for some, but for me that would have felt like too much pressure and I wouldn’t have shown up as my whole self.”

“We just want stolen and honest moments of our beautiful friends and family enjoying the day.”

“I think photos evoke feelings of the moment more than anything else. When I look at a photo, I’m brought back to that moment and how I felt.”

“We’re not doing this for Instagram. We’re doing this for us.”

“When we talked with other photographers there was a lot of discussion around how we were curating ourselves, but I wasn’t trying to show up in that way.”

“Your images capture not just how things looked, but also how they felt.”

“A lot of wedding photographers we see are more editorial and posed, which doesn't fit with how we want to remember our wedding day.”

“We’re trying to stay rooted in the fact that our wedding is a day to celebrate that we’ve found one another and not a show.”

“Your photos feel deeply intimate and honest, holding space for the small, sacred moments in-between. That’s the kind of presence we want to remember.”

“We’ve been asking ourselves, ‘do we want these photos because we’ve seen them elsewhere, or will they actually mean something to us?’”

“If I looked at two different weddings and saw the same shots, I didn’t even look further. Even the idea that someone would say, 'I want to do that picture,’ and the photographer would say, ‘okay, put it on the list–’ that was a deal breaker for me.”

“We’re looking to create family heirlooms.”

“The value we hold most closely is genuine, felt presence.”

“We’re looking to capture the real essence of the day, not an overly performative version.”

“We think photos are all about feelings and not just aesthetics.”

“We just want to live in the moment and enjoy our day to the fullest without having to worry about getting the ‘right’ photo.”

“We really want the documentation to feel real and raw, freeing us from a traditional and choreographed process and allowing us to be truly in the moment.”

“I find most wedding photos suffocatingly dry. You bring a fresh, intimate point of view that is reactive to the personality of your subjects and the environment.”

“What we love about your approach is that it makes everything feel effortlessly special—genuine, emotional, and full of personality, rather than staged or stiff.”

“We want something that reflects the joy, spontaneity, and love of the day in a way that feels true to us.”

“One of the things that was really important to us was a quality of alive-ness. We wanted that quality of being alive to really shine through.”

“Whether it’s tears of happiness from family or our best friends drunkenly dancing, we want all of the emotions of our big day captured.”

“We’re very much guided by the real emotion of the day, not a staged or overly curated version.”

“I was really determined to go into this in a way that felt less scripted, more real and more free-flowing.”

“If it so happened that there was a picture of my veil blowing in the wind, so be it. To have a bridesmaid come and throw it as high as she can and then run away so she’s not in the picture, that’s a different story.”

“When I looked at other people’s wedding photos, I could almost start predicting, ‘okay, it’s going to be this photo, and then this photo.’ I had no sense of the couple or the event.”

“My idea was to find a photographer who I trusted to compose beautiful images of something already happening versus making that thing happen.”

“I’ve been in enough weddings to watch people fake putting on the dress, redo putting on a piece of jewelry or reread a card for a photo and I hate the performance of it all.”

“We’re drawn to your photography because it feels so real—full of movement, energy, and those in-between moments that make a wedding feel alive.”

“It’s not just about joy. There are a lot of other emotions out there. Just like you don’t want a meal of just sweet things, I think an album of everything that comes out of a person’s aura when they’re emoting. I think that’s also really important.”

“We love photos that capture memories and don’t feel forced.”

“If I had to choose between a real memory and a staged scenario for the best photo in the world, I’d choose the former every time.”

“We didn’t even have to try and the photos came out amazing.”

“We’re not looking to spend the day chasing glamour shots.”

“Having to forfeit a big chunk of the day to take several posed photos is directly opposed to what we would normally prioritize.”

“There’s so much cut and paste at weddings. You could take out the couple and put in literally anyone else and the picture would look the same. I knew I didn’t want that. I wanted it to be unique to us.”

“We want to capture the real beauty of our wedding and for our photos to be real, not posed.”

“I love that your style would allow us to be our full selves and not have to put on a show for the camera.”

“How many pictures can you see of the invitation and the ring and the dress hanging in the air? Some people want that, but it’s not what we wanted.”

“I want the wedding documented in a way that feels natural, playful and reflects us + our loved ones.”

“We are simply looking to capture the evening as it unfolds.”

“It was more about having a lot of fun versus is being a show.”
