I’m usually winded and searching for caffeine by the time the reception starts. There’s already so much that has happened in the day and I’malways looking to my team to get the best details and cover the cocktail hour. But once the party starts, its kind of like seeing the finish line and i’m all out for the home stretch. Here’s some of my favorite wedding reception images of 2018. Please enjoy!
My bridesmaids, my groomsmen, all of them together. Most photographers tend to do more normalized posed photos of their bridal party, maybe since I live for these creative shots, I make it a point to completely take over these moments and direct my perfect bridal party shot.
Once your camera is just an extension of your hand, all that’s left is the posing and direction to make each of these girls and guys feel comfortable and do something they normally wouldn’t. Here’s to the top of the pyramid, the big groups and the work it takes to get happy and drunk bridal party members to do exactly what we need. Hope you love these, cheers.

When the ceremony starts, all eyes are at the back of the aisle, probably one of the most powerful shots you can create. The shot you don’t see though is usually from the back of our bride, something i’d love to share more of with you here.
Indoor weddings have a beautiful silhouette when the doors open, and outdoor weddings have an amazing skyscape as your backdrop. Throughout the ceremony we’re there to capture emotions, intimate moments, and the big ones like your first case and walking down the aisle. It all takes alot of set up, experience, and anticipation.
Usually our photo team can set up for a ceremony in just a few minutes, but our video team needs more time to set up microphones and tripods. Given proper and adequate time, our video teams can get even similar shots (and even more probably since reactions are so important in films).
I hope you enjoy this set from our 2018 wedding ceremonies, please enjoy!
