People always ask me if I photograph weddings, and honestly I'd love to be like "Yes I do!" but the truth is the answer is much more complicated than that. First, where it's due, CONGRATS to Katie and Chris on their beautiful wedding at the Horseheads Elks Lodge 2297

While people typically hire me for my work and my style, what people don't realize is that at a wedding you're hiring someone who's going to be with you and your closest loved ones for the entire day, you're hiring someone to look out for you and your people and your vendors too.
You want someone who you're going to get along with and crack jokes with. Someone who can direct in a tone all of your people are receptive to and appreciate. You want someone who's thought of everything that could happen and plans for it all. And when the unexpected still happens (as it always does) you want someone who is focused on making sure any issues get solved.
All of the above is handled differently by every photographer that you talk to. My approach to photographing weddings is not more or less correct than any other professional I know. I'm simply not going to be a perfect fit for every wedding, & equally, every wedding isn't for me.

For Katie and Chris, they knew they needed someone who was going to jive with their personalities. This is a vampire-themed wedding where they played metal and nostalgic emo songs. A candlelit venue with deep red accent lighting everywhere calls for a photographer who is used to a low-light situations. But I feel like the most telling part of the entire experience, is that we had fun! We joked, we shared stories and laughed. We picked up, repaired, and went with the flow.

When I say I photograph weddings, Katie and Chris had the kind of wedding I photograph. For me, these deep moody vibes are everything. I loved the music, and I loved how the Elks handled the decor/lighting of the space. It was such a beautiful wedding, and I'm so honored to have been a part of it. Were you even paying attention if you weren't crying during "My Guardian Angel" father-daughter dance?

Congrats again to Chris and Katie, thank you to the Horseheads Elks Lodge 2297 for setting such a perfect vibe.
