I walked out of a bar management job at the tail end of 2003 to become a photographer.. being a 'people liker' it was clear to me that I would gravitate toward wedding photography over that of taking photos of food. I cut my cloth using film.. digital technology was kicking in but not quite the industry norm so I invested in film camera technology. To me this was a godsend as I had to learn pretty quickly as there was no recourse for checking if the group shot worked or not.. fast forward to 2016 and I am very very lucky in that I do not solely rely on wedding photography as an income, so why is this lucky? It frees me up to take amazing shots, to capture the fun of a celebration, and there it is.. I am confident enough to make sure I am actually covering a celebration not a formality. The key to booking your wedding photographer and pretty much any service for one of the most important days of your life is that we do not get in your way, that the celebration is seamless. By and large most, if not all, photographers are background and not in your face although I have seen it on and off over the years, I digress.
