I had the privilege of photographing Kelly's sister's wedding back in October of 2016. It was such a blast, so naturally I had high expectations for Kelly and Anthony's wedding this May. They did not disappoint. Every one of their friends and family members made me feel completely welcome, and Kelly and Anthony made my day a breeze. They're some of the most easy going, caring people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Check out some of the highlights from their wedding below!
Kaylene and Jamane are one of those couples that no matter what you're doing, with them you have a great time. After we met over fruity drinks to discuss their wedding, I couldn't wait for their wedding. My excitement was justified; their wedding was a true reflection of who they are, caring, fun, and all around awesome.
Charlsie and Warren got married on about the hottest day you could imagine. That didn't phase them, though, as they had a wonderful day with close friends and relatives that yielded some of my favorite photos of 2016. Luckily I was able to find a way onto their immensely packed dance floor to grab some photos at the end of the night.
When I met with Caroline and Mike before their wedding to check out the location at which they would be getting married, I got really excited to work with them. First of all, they're totally laid back, they complement each other's personalities as well as any couple you could ever meet, AND the venue was incredibly beautiful. The wedding met every one of my expectations and took it to the next level considering the perfect weather we had and how smoothly the day went. And to top it off, La Bamba (from Conan O'Brien's Basic Cable Band) and his band played a killer set that had everyone on the dance floor the entire night!
As you may have noticed, I don't just photograph weddings. Photographing live music performances is one of my favorite things to do, and I had plenty of opportunities to do so this past year. From low-key gigs in pastry shops to Mayhem Festival, I experienced a lot of different scenarios, each yielding unique results. Take a look at some of my favorites from 2014 and let me know what you think!
What. A. Year. 2014 marked the first year I photographed weddings on my own. Before March, I had only ever photographed with other lead photographers, the majority of the time for Dennis Pike Photography (a lot of these photos are from weddings for which I was his second shooter.) I met a lot of wonderful people, had tons of good laughs, learned more than I could have hoped for, and even had to call the police for some assistance once (long story.) I owe a ton to everyone who helped me out at weddings this year: Laura Neff, Jeremy Zabriskie, Nicolette Sarzosa, and Matt Aceino. Things would have been a lot more challenging without those ladies and gentlemen. And of course, thank you to all the awesome couples I worked with this year. You are the reason I can say that I love what I do. Anyway, sorry for the late post, but without further ado, I give you some of my best photos from 2014:
