PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE FULLY PRESENT
Big feelings. Real life. The good stuff.
NY & WORLDWIDE
“We want to be fully present in what’s happening, not pulled away or asked to perform.”
“I want to see joy and laughter in my photos, double chins and all. Honestly, the more ugly crying, the better.”
“We want to feel relaxed, present and joyful.”
“Since we’re eschewing many of the typical wedding conventions, we’ll treasure all the spontaneous moments captured that more genuinely define the day.”
“I want each photo to be a genuine memory. I don’t want to pull our people out of the moment to fake laughter for a photo opp.”
“We're both drawn to documentary style photography. The main focus for us will be capturing the day in it's true essence.”
“We wanted to look back on our wedding and see how it made us all feel more alive.”
“We want it to feel as much like us as possible.”
“We’re not doing this for Instagram. We’re doing this for us.”
“We’re trying to stay rooted in the fact that our wedding is a day to celebrate that we’ve found one another and not a show.”
“We’ve been asking ourselves - do we want these photos because we’ve seen them elsewhere, or will they actually mean something to us?”
“We’re looking to capture the real essence of the day, not an overly performative version.”
“We really want the documentation to feel real and raw, freeing us from a traditional and choreographed process and allowing us to be truly in the moment.”
“We want things to feel intimate and real.”
“We’re very much guided by the real emotions of the day, not a staged or overly curated version.”
“I’ve been in enough weddings to watch people fake putting on the dress, redo putting on a piece of jewelry or reread a card for a photo and I hate the performance of it all.”
“If I had to choose between a real memory and a staged scenario for the best photo in the world, I’d choose the former every time.”
“Having to forfeit a big chunk of the day to take several posed photos is directly opposed to what we would normally prioritize.”
“We want to capture the real beauty of our wedding and for our photos to be real, not posed.”
