My Approach to Documentary Wedding Photography
Documentary, not directed
Real moments only
your story
as it unfolds.
I am there to tell your story. The story of your day, just as it happens.
I want you to look back at the photos and see yourselves just as you are, and to relive that day through them, time after time again.
freedom
to enjoy.
No more boring photoshoots.
You get the freedom to enjoy your day, as you should. And you’ll barely even notice I’m there. I let moments unfold naturally and I won’t interfere. I won’t try to direct, nor will I ask for anything other than being yourselves and enjoying your wedding day.
sensibility,
emotion.
I just love watching people together and
I am very sensitive to all those
little details of them interacting.
I’ve had the opportunity to tell
hundreds of great stories since 2006,
couples and families, and it still amazes me every single time.
i blend in,
and I’m always
on the move.
I try to be as discreet as I can. This way, I can be close to the guests and right where all the action happens. I keep moving around, listening to the jokes and laughs, while I look for the best angle and I do not miss that emotional teardrop when it happens.
natural,
unstaged.
I work with natural light and the environment,
and I try to capture those real moments in
special and creative ways.
ambiance
and detail.
I am there to tell a story and I try to fill it with as much is going on as possible. This means, the details you took so much care in preparing, the environment… It all comes together with the laughs, hugs and all the special moments.
not just
one great photo.
I always have such a hard time choosing just one photo to represent one wedding. I don’t really believe it is about taking the perfect light, arranged composition, award winning photograph.
My work is all about having a collection of photos, so real that they immediately transport you right back to that day.
