"I love weddings that are full of strong emotion and powerful stories. My work as a newspaper photographer and documentary filmmaker has given me insight into what crafts a compelling story. I love capturing decisive moments rather than forcing people into poses. I like to think of my work as holding up a mirror, netting the honest and authentically beautiful aspects of each person.
