We’ll work together to plan out a timeline that feels best for your event and for the moments you want to make sure are captured. I always aim for photo galleries that tell a story, not just “big moments.”

How do we decide when you should show up for shooting our wedding?

Candid & documentary photography shows the day as it happens, most of the time without posing or prompting. I prioritize seeing and capturing moments as they unfold and you walk through your wedding day. Certain times of the day I do prompt or pose you as needed (like family photos or couple’s portrait time) but I try to take a backseat and let the day and the emotions and events speak for themselves. 

What is candid and/or documentary wedding photography?

If the venue is spread out, multiple important events are happening at the same time (like family photos during cocktail hour) or you have a large wedding - absolutely! A second photographer allows more complete and stress-free coverage of the day.

Should we hire a second photographer?

Film is a lovely, and sometimes fickle, medium. My aim is to shoot as much film as I can, while not compromising the detailed documentation of the day. If a moment is less film friendly (i.e. dark lighting or fast paced) I’ll capture more digitally. If time and lighting allows, I’ll capture more on film. Typically this means around 10% of your gallery will be film images. That number may fluctuate depending on the day, but it’s a typical baseline.

How much film will you shoot?

As much as you want me to! I photograph both photojournalistically - allowing moments to unfold as they will naturally - and with posing in the moments that need a little more direction. My goal is to capture all moments in a way that feels authentic to both who you are and the moment itself.

Will you pose us?

Absolutely! A non-refundable retainer of 30% is due at booking with the signed contract, and we can plan a payment schedule for the remainder that fits your financial needs.
