Wedding bells
You deserve a unique, tailored approach to your wedding and love story. My sense of fun, photojournalistic style, and professional commitment is a testament to years of working with happy couples.
Weddings for me are about the experience. They’re about family, friends, and those brief moments of interaction. I mean, who doesn't want to see their 90 year old grandma smoking a celebratory Cuban cigar like Fidel Castro? Beyond the photo lies a memory framed & beyond the image lies a story. There's a narrative within the image that is as powerful as the written word and this is what I try to convey through my art.
Show your fun, quirky personality. Do the things that make you happy. Laugh loudly. Kiss slowly. Hug tightly.
I'll be there to capture it all and help you save these beautiful memories for a lifetime.

FAQ
What is my photography style?
Over 90% of my wedding days are entirely candid. When I photograph weddings and events, my style is photojournalistic. The idea is to transfer the candid scene, emotion and message of the moment to the photograph. I'll still take all the formal shots, including all the prearranged and posed portraits. However, comparing to the other styles of wedding photography, my style won’t take half a day. A couple that’s willing to transform their wedding into a modeling photo shoot for Vogue or GQ is not going to hire a photojournalistic photographer. Or at least I hope not.
Will my photos get 'touched' up'?
Yes, and no. I WILL edit all the images to be consistent in color, cropping adjustment where needed, and teeth whitening, some blemishes or fabric touch ups. What I WON'T do is shave off pounds, or add definition of any sort. I won't eliminate or add people to photos. I want to capture the moment as it's happening as naturally as possible.
Am I insured?
Yes! I'm protecting myself, and I need to protect you as the client. Peace of mind for all involved. Some venues require vendors to have insurance. If that's the case, insurance will be provided upon request.
How many images will I receive?
This depends on the package you've selected and whether there will be one photographer or two. For a full day of wedding coverage, you will get anywhere from 300 - 500 images, or roughly 50-80 images per hour. I shoot with a purpose.
What is my backup process?
I try my best to protect your investment. As such, I have dual memory cards slots on my cameras where duplicates are automatically copied. Once the images are taken from the camera, they are placed on two (2) different external hard drives.
Will I receive the full gallery of images?
Yes! Culling is a process of finding the keeper images and discarding the undeliverable ones. Once I've culled and edited each of the photos, you will have them delivered in a private online gallery.
Other details * / **
* A custom 20 page keepsake photo album is included with the package. Additional pages, type of album material are extra costs and can be discussed.
**2 photographers are highly recommended. The Neverland Experience is limited to a maximum of 75 people attending your wedding. As such, if your event will have more than 75 people, you'll automatically by bumped to the Adventure Package. Capturing intimate details, specific angles, friend / family members are best photographed with 2 staff.
Are travel and accommodations included in pricing?
Have camera. Will travel! Once you inquire, be sure to lets us know your destination so we can provide you with a detailed proposal. Travel fees will apply for sessions at a location which is more than a 45-minute drive from 23153 zip code (Sandy Hook, Virginia).
What I wish everyone knew about wedding photography:
The best photos are created when everyone is truly enjoying the day and living in the moment, . Find a photographer who you really identify with and can see yourself in their images. What you see is what you're going to get from a photographer. The more you let go and enjoy the day, the more I can capture the moments that tell your unique story.
How does the wedding process work?
1. Fill out form
The contact form is easy peasy lemon squeezy! You tell me a little about what you're looking for. I make contact. We meet virtually or in person and it's smooth sailing from there.
2. Sign Contract
It's a document like any other contract. It lays out the details of what I provide and all the minutiae relevant to doing business with me. It's pretty straight forward, with no hidden surprises.
3. The Big Day
After lots of communication, your big day is finally here. The last thing you'll need to worry about is the photography. Sit back, have fun, and let the day flow naturally amongst family and friends. I'll be there from the start of the day and will be one of the last ones to leave. I will be present every step of the way.
4. Photos & Prints
As my contract states, I leave a buffer of 6 to 8 weeks for final delivery of all the images. To be fair, I start sorting through all the images the day after your wedding and I've NEVER taken 6 weeks. I am obsessed with your images and I will try to get them back to you ASAP! You will have access to a private online gallery. As the couple, you'll be able to download images at no cost. There's also a storefront where anyone you share your gallery with will be able to purchase downloads or prints.
