More often than not the guys are most fun to shoot because they tend to be more relaxed, less concerned about doing strange things. That is not to say that the ladies are not fun…just that the guys are more willing to go along with our crazy ideas! They are also less likely to feel the need to be formal which in turns creates a greater opportunity for their true nature to show through. It is also fun to have a little guy in the group because he usually wants to be like the big guys which always lends itself to great shots.

Our wedding couples typically opt in for at least one engagement session just to get themselves used to being followed by paparazzi. The session also gives us a chance to learn how the couple interacts with each other so we can better anticipate photos that represent them. Usually if a couple has a favorite location or activity that is within the metro area we will photograph them there, otherwise we have a long list of great locations from very urban to woodsy.

As I have mentioned earlier we like to get some time with just the bride and groom whether it’s before or after the ceremony. This time is very tender and intimate and really gives a chance to capture the real energy between the couple. These are the images thatwill help them remember their love in tough times and take them back to joy they felt on their wedding day.

For couples who choose to see each other before the ceremony, this part of there day can be a time for grounding. Many of our clients express how important it was for them to see each at this time…the tender intimacy helped to ground them and eliminate any anxiety related to the remainder of the day.
Choosing to see each other before the ceremony also gave them the chance to bring in the support of their wedding party and combined families.We don’t advocate for either choice since ultimately it is up to the couple.

We like to see weddings as if they were plays that unfold in a sequence of Acts beginning with Preparations, moving to the Ceremony and finishing with the Party. Tucked into each of these acts are smaller scenes
Act 1: Preparations
* Scene 1: Bride and bridal party getting dressed
* Scene 2: Groom and his party getting dressed
* Scene 3: Couple alone if they choose to see each other before the ceremony,
* Scene 4: The wedding party either separately if bride & groom choose not to see each other or together if they do chose to see each other.
