Maine & New Hampshire Wedding Photographer // My Photojournalistic Approach

When it comes to wedding photography, my philosophy is simple: the most beautiful and memorable moments are the ones that happen naturally. That's why I take a photojournalistic approach to your wedding day, striving to be as unobtrusive as possible—a "photographic ninja" if you will.

Weddings are filled with genuine emotions, spontaneous laughter, and heartfelt moments that can't be staged. As a photojournalistic wedding photographer, my goal is to document these moments as they unfold. This means capturing your bridesmaids laughing as they do their hair and makeup, the tear in your father's eye as he sees you in your dress for the first time, and the pure joy on your face as you say "I do."

For the majority of your wedding day, I aim to be a fly on the wall. I believe that the best photographs are the ones where you and your guests aren't aware of the camera. This allows me to capture authentic moments without interrupting the natural flow of events. My presence should be so subtle that when you look back on your photos, you remember the moments, not the photographer.

Think of me as your photographic ninja, stealthily moving through your day, capturing every important moment without drawing attention to myself. My goal is for you and your guests to be so immersed in the celebration that you forget I'm there. This way, I can document the genuine emotions and interactions that make your wedding day uniquely yours.

While my approach is mostly hands-off, there are times when I do step in to provide some direction—primarily during the formal portraits. This is when I'll guide you and your partner to ensure we get those timeless, beautifully composed shots. However, even then, my direction is minimal. I prefer to give prompts that encourage natural interaction between you and your loved ones, rather than stiff, posed shots.

This approach matters because your wedding day is about you, your partner, and the people you love. It's about the real, unfiltered moments that tell the story of your day. By being unobtrusive, I can capture the essence of your wedding—the laughter, the tears, the joy, and the love—in a way that feels genuine and true to life.
