Your wedding ceremony: this is what it's all about. We could strip away all other parts of the wedding day, and the ceremony would endure as the heart of the wedding, the true beginning of your marriage and your highest commitment to one another. I document each ceremony in a respectful, non-obtrusive, and attentive way. I watch and wait for key moments of connection and ritual: your parents looking on tearfully, a whispered joke to your partner, your shaky hands as you place the ring on their finger, the breaking of the glass with a triumphant stomp. Whether your ceremony is traditional, or you've written your own vows incorporating lines from Star Wars; whether yours is a church wedding or a secular wedding; whether your ceremony happens in the sun, the rain, or even in a dark windowless room, I have the skill and sensitivity to photograph this most sacred part your wedding day.
