-“I am not just a photographer, I am an artist, and I believe that photography is not just about a simple image imprinted on a paper. It's about showing that unique chemistry and love; it's about showcasing that special bond... the unique way you hold hands and the way you look and smile at each other!
I want to know your love story, the thing you love most about each other, the things that make you cry, your favorite memory of each other, I want to learn all of these things and portray your entire love story through the imagery I take. Every couple has a different story of how they met, the awkward first dates, the proposal and so much more.
This is what I fell in love with and now it's time to tell your story!
Considering how special this occasion is, I’d love to book a consultation with you to talk about your wedding to ensure that your pictures are one that you would love and adore for years to come. I love to create a special bond with the couple I shoot so that we can have a friendly and working relationship on your big day.”-
