Next week, Nel Shelby and I are celebrating 21 years of marriage.
After more than 20 years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the photographs that matter most aren’t always the ones you expect.
Of course, I love making beautiful portraits of the couple. But over the years, I’ve become just as interested in the relationships surrounding them.
A mother with her son. Siblings who don’t get to see each other often. An aunt, a grandparent, a lifelong friend.
I ask questions before the wedding so I can understand who those people are and what they mean to you. Then, on the wedding day, I can look for those connections and create space for them to happen.
I think 21 years of marriage has given me an even deeper appreciation for how much love can exist in one room on a wedding day.
And I feel very lucky that my work lets me photograph it. 🥰
