Wedding Photography


Wedding Photography...to be or not to be?



Photographers say things like, "I have to do weddings to survive!" or "I really don't like doing wedding, but I have to!". When I first stated in photography (1984). I worked for a studio that made shooting wedding so stressful. The lead photographer was such a stress head. He made it harder then it needed to be. But, back then I didn't know any better. I thought this is the way it was. I myself said back in those days, "when I get out on my own I am not doing weddings".

Many things have changed over the years, and I will give you my story of how I got to this point. But, not today. Stay tuned for the whole story. Today, I just want to give you a little snippet.

Not too long ago a friend of mine asked if I would shoot their wedding. I was first brought back to my days with the stress head. Reluctantly said, yes. Little did I know how much I was going to fall in love with my new path.

I LOVE WEDDINGS! I don't know how else to say it. I decided just to be myself, and have fun. Everyone had so much fun. There were many special moments. I was like a crack addict with my camera (not that I know what crack is like). The emotions that were shared with me to capture was just amazing to me. Seeing people sharing themselves emotionally, and opening their hearts. Yes, I am in love with weddings.

I am so grateful to those that have included me in their special day. Your day is so special to me, and I look forward to giving you the gift that will give for many lifetimes.
