I enjoy photographing weddings because…a wedding is like a play. It’s set up, the actors are in place, the stage is set. That part makes it easy. Yet at any given moment, something personal and unique happens, making that wedding completely different. Sometimes things go off the rails a little, sometimes it’s perfectly orchestrated. The random events that happen throughout the day keep me on my toes and keep the creativity juices flowing.
My 20 years of photographing weddings has taught me that… life is a long marathon of experiences, and that the wedding day is just one of many important days in our lives. “Stuff” is nice, but the time we spend with our family and friends during that six or ten hour day can’t ever be replaced. The wedding day is likely the only time in your life that all those people will be there together to celebrate your relationship together.
The nicest thing people tell me at a wedding…”How long have you been friends with the bride?” Almost every week I get asked how long I’ve known the couple.
A Wedding is… just one day. It’s important. But it’s just one day of many in your life together. Plan it, make it what you want, and then let it happen how it happens. Enjoy it. Don’t stress over it. Trust the people you’ve hired to be a part of the day to do their best, and spend the day focusing on what is most important to you.
The nicest wedding you’ve ever photographed was…the last one. While there have been weddings that were truly incredible (like the one with earth wind and fire playing during dinner), each one has its own elements that make them special.
Has being married with three children changed your work at all over the years? It has. Over time as my daughters and son got older, I began to feel things at weddings that I didn’t before being a father. Now, as our kids are teenagers, and in some cases I am closer to age than the parents of the couple, I am able to relate to both the parents and the bride and groom, and that does play a role in what I pay attention to during the wedding day.
The couples that hire you the most tend to be… late twenties to early thirties, interested in the arts, travel, family relationships, are easy going, and value things that last. I find that the couples that hire me the most see past all the glitz and trendy things that the wedding industry pushes, and they just want great images of them and their friends having a good time.
