In today’s blog I wanted to share a few tips for hiring your wedding photographer. I’ve been in your shoes and I know first-hand how overwhelming this decision can be so I thought I’d provide some tips having been on both ends of the process.

I occasionally get asked what it means when I say I am a lifestyle photographer so I thought I could explain what it means to me and why I love it so much!

Essentially (and adapted from Wikipedia) lifestyle photography is about capturing people in real-life situations and events in an artistic way. The key for me here, is real-life.

Katy + Sam’s wedding was a perfect October day in the fun town of Gulfport, Florida. It wasn’t too hot (which is a bit of a surprise) and it was a perfect night for a major backyard dance party! Katy and Sam traveled from Charleston, SC (a city I am dying to visit and so happy to have new friends there now) and most of their friends and family traveled from all over to be at their special day. I knew instantly that I wanted to capture their wedding when Katy said in her inquiry that they have a dog and three pet ducklings!!! I tried to get them to bring their furry and feathered friends to Florida but alas traveling with ducks can pose challenging. 

collaborating with passionate, bad-ass women is my favorite. stunning christmas inspired florals by wild fern floral design. modeled by the beautiful kelsey gregory at her family farm. support by the awesome kaitlyn ebora and samantha weymouth.
