FAQ

What is your photographic style?

Being a true photojournalist I shoot with a combination of photojournalism. I don’t run your wedding or ruin it with long set-ups or stiff poses. Above all, I never harass your guests with posed table shots. We do work that is timeless.

Will you travel to photograph a wedding?

Yes, I have vast travel experience and an extensive network of contacts worldwide to ensure your photography is the best, regardless of where it is.

Are you the actual day-of photographer?

I am the primary shooter to every event I book. You hire me, I photograph your wedding.

Will I need more then one photographer?

We recommend a 2nd photographer if you have over 130 guests. Weddings are often fast paced and spontaneous, truly memorable events happen simultaneously at different locations. The 2nd photographer offers not only another perspective, but also extensive coverage.
