Pop the bottles and crank the music: you're married! My approach to reception photography is all about joy, mayhem, and candids-candids-candids. For you as the couple, your loved ones, and your guests, the reception brings a palpable sense of release and celebration: a real "eat, drink, and be merry" vibe. I document all your reception memories without disrupting the fun: I don't pull my couples away from their party for posed group portraits. Hell, I even get out on the dance floor and into the heart of the action (seeing me dance with cameras in both hands is sure to give your guests a chuckle!). So loosen your necktie, throw back some shots, and get weird with it. I focus on capturing all the best reception moments so that you and yours can focus on having the best party of your lives.
