Why I love being a wedding photographer
Spoiler: it’s not just about the pretty photos (but those help).
If you’ve been around here for more than five minutes, you probably know one thing about me:
I. LOVE. LOVE.
Like… full-on cry during vows, smile behind the camera during the first dance, hype-you-up-while-you-freak-out-before-your-ceremony love love.
Being a wedding photographer isn’t just my job — it’s my favorite way to celebrate the real, raw, joyful, emotional, and downright magical stories that couples create together. It’s part storytelling, part time-freezing, part creative chaos… and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I Love Love — The Messy, Honest, Real Kind
Give me the big romantic gestures, sure — but also give me the inside jokes whispered during the ceremony, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, the messy crying-laughing moments during the speeches. That’s the good stuff.
I’m here for the imperfectly perfect kind of love. The kind that shows up fully, celebrates fiercely, and doesn’t care if your veil is blowing sideways because you’re married and that’s what matters.
I’m Low-Key Obsessed With Event Planning (But Make It Chill)
Okay, confession time: I have a soft spot for a good timeline and a solid color-coded Google doc. I love the details. The florals. The seating charts. The little touches that make your wedding yours.
Before I was a full-time photographer, I spent 6 years in event planning, so when I say I understand how much work goes into making a wedding day run smoothly — I really mean it. That experience helps me help you breathe easier. I’ll build a custom photo timeline, keep us on track, fluff your dress, fix a boutonnière, and make sure your day feels effortless. I’m your behind-the-scenes bestie and your biggest fan.
It’s More Than Photos — It’s Legacy
You won’t remember every second of your wedding day. (In fact, it’ll fly by in a beautiful blur.) But the images? They’ll live on for generations. Your grandkids will see these. Your parents will frame them. You’ll revisit them on anniversaries, on hard days, and on just-because days.
And I get to be the person who captures that legacy?
Ugh. Honored isn’t even a big enough word.
The Trust Means Everything
Weddings are intimate. Vulnerable. Sacred. You’re trusting me to be there for every big and in-between moment — and that trust? I do not take it lightly. From our first email to your final gallery delivery, I’m invested in your story like it’s my own.
I’ll probably cry with you. I’ll definitely dance with you. And I’ll leave feeling like we just became lifelong friends.
I Love What I Do (And I’m So Dang Lucky)
Being a wedding photographer lets me combine everything I love:
True connection
Creative storytelling
Celebrating people at their happiest
Helping things run smoothly
Capturing real, emotional, honest-to-goodness love
It’s more than a job. It’s a calling. And I am wildly, deeply grateful that I get to do it.
