A love story of stolen moments
Cinematic Storytelling
Your wedding day is more than just a series of pretty poses—it’s a love story. In 2025, cinematic storytelling is all the rage, focusing on capturing your day as a seamless narrative.
• Think sweeping shots of your venue, candid moments with your guests, and those quiet, stolen moments between you and your partner.
• It’s like a Netflix rom-com starring you. Except with better lighting.

2.Editorial and fashion-Inspired
Want to feel like you just stepped out of a Vogue spread? Editorial wedding photography takes inspiration from high-fashion magazines, bringing drama, elegance, and a little ooh-la-la to your wedding album.
• Picture bold poses, luxurious backdrops, and a touch of attitude.
• Don’t worry—I’ll guide you through every pose so you feel confident and chic (and not like you’re auditioning for America’s Next Top Model).

3. Documentary-Style
Candid, authentic, and unfiltered (okay, maybe a little filtered for lighting)—documentary-style photography is all about capturing the real you.
• Laughing with your bridal party, your parents tearing up during the vows, and that one groomsman busting out The Worm on the dance floor.
• It’s not about perfection; it’s about telling the honest, beautiful story of your day.

4. Intimate Micro-Wedding
Micro-weddings are still having a moment, and for good reason. Smaller guest lists mean more personal connections—and your photos will reflect that.
• From heartfelt toasts to cozy candlelit dinners, intimate weddings allow for moments that feel real.
• Bonus: fewer guests mean more time for those gorgeous couple portraits. You’re welcome.

5. Black and White Imagery
Black and white photography is making a big comeback—and for good reason. It strips away distractions and focuses on the emotion of the moment.
• Think timeless, elegant, and deeply romantic.
• Bonus: no one will notice if you’re blushing or sweating. It’s a win-win.
Trends are fun, but at the end of the day, your wedding photos should reflect you. Whether you’re drawn to timeless black-and-white images or want to try something bold like double exposure, I’ll work with you to create photos that feel authentic and uniquely yours.
