Styles & Editing

My shooting style uses a photojournalistic approach (candids) but I also incorporate artistic portraits with meticulous posing. I carefully combine traditional and modern wedding photography styles. I use a wide variety of lenses and on and off-camera lighting techniques. Ultimately I want to provide my clients with as much variety as possible at the end of the day. That way everybody is happy!

 

My editing style strives to create color accurate photos along with perfect exposures. The end product is razor-sharp, has high contrast, and is bright and colorful to produces timeless photos. For the Premium edits, I go one step further and make you and the photos flawless.

 

In an age where photo editing trends come and go, my product will stand the test of time and still be something that your grandkids will appreciate. I can still produce the trendy edits styles upon requests like light and airy, vintage, rustic, etc. You will still get the “Perfect” edit and then I will make a duplicate with the other editing style you desire. I also like to include tons of black and whites.

Always look your best!

Even if life happens and you are not looking your best don't worry. I got your back!

PREMIUM VS STANDARD EDITS

During your first consultation, we will discuss your preferences on styles and tastes. I will also show you a slide show of my more creative edits. Every package comes with Premium and Standard edited photos. My Standard edit is nothing less than a fully edited photo from top to bottom. I strive for accurate colors and exposures. I don't like to blow anything out or underexpose either. I want my photos to resemble how the human eye sees, but even better. Premium editing kicks it up a notch to make you guys look perfect. No sweat, shine, acne, bruises, scratches, wine stains, hair fly-aways, lent, etc. I go through each Premium edited photo with a fine-tooth comb and clean up anything I think needs to be addressed. Keep scrolling for examples.

I know that after the wedding all that couples have left are the photos. I take that responsibility very serious.
