What we believe is the true beauty of weddings and what sets us apart.
“I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!” ~ Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
I have always wondered about the things that make up this life, What is the purpose of my being here? Why things are the way they are etc. I was waiting for a huge sign from God to let me know of my worth, as most crazy humans do. But looking back now, I am beginning to realize I HAVE had my sign, I just missed it with my clouded human eyes because I was looking at myself. You may be wondering what all of this has to do with a photographer in Burlington, NC but I am not defined by my career, rather it is defined by me and by letting myself be transparent and honest with you and even with myself, you can better understand my heart, who I am as a person and where my art comes from. We gravitate toward unique individuals who want to display the art that we create together on the walls of their own home rather than pictures in an album.
We are 100% committed to creating a collection of images that not only tell the story of your wedding day but capture the emotion from each person’s heart. We want to create pieces of art that you will cherish for many years to come, however truly beautiful works of art take planning, lots of thought and communication between us. We can better know how to get the exact look that speaks volumes about who you are as individuals and as a couple by getting to know you and the things that make you unique. Planning a shoot that reflects your mood and emotions will mean deciding on a truly perfect location and props for both bridals and engagements. If there is a farm or a field that you have seen or a beautiful garden you might have had in mind, let us know! Have No clue where to start? That’s fine too. WE have a list of beautiful places and locations a few pages over.
We don’t see weddings as events or ceremonies but as beautiful stories, each person a different chapter and work of art, every one different from the next. We aren’t there to coax emotion out of you for good photos. We are there to capture the raw emotion, love and especially the hope of a new life together that is just beginning. We produce what we see. Your love story. As an avid lover of books, I am privileged to have my own personal collection of fairy tales on my shelf, all who have become dear friends. We want your fairy tale to be in our collection as well. But we don’t write your love story. We just add the pictures.
