Just a little photographer’s note from me 📸
After doing this for nearly a decade and photographing more weddings and sessions than I can count, I’ve learned something pretty simple:
The best photographs happen when we trust each other.
When you hire me, you’re not just hiring a guy with a camera. You’re trusting me to watch the light, read the weather, find the right angles, help you when you have absolutely no clue what to do with your hands 😂 and hopefully make the whole thing feel a lot less like a photoshoot.
A few things that make my job AND your experience so much better:
Trust me on the light.
If I suddenly move you ten feet, turn you around, or get way too excited about some random patch of light that looks completely ordinary to you...just go with me. 😂 I promise there’s usually a reason.
Trust me on timing and weather, too.
Sometimes fifteen minutes can completely change the sky, the light, or the whole feel of a photograph. I spend way more time watching weather apps than any normal human probably should.
Bring me your Pinterest ideas. Seriously.
I love seeing what you like. I just don’t want to copy somebody else’s photograph exactly. I want to take the idea and make it yours. Your personality. Your relationship. Your story.
Tell me things.
If you hate a certain angle, have a favorite side, feel awkward about something, have family dynamics I need to know about, or there's a photograph you absolutely want...please tell me. You're never bothering me.
The more I know, the better I can take care of you.
Please don't put a giant Instagram filter over your finished photographs. 😂
I spend a ridiculous amount of time making sure skin tones, colors, light, and everything else look natural and true to life.
If there's something you'd like changed, just ask me.
And please download your pictures instead of screenshotting them.
Your screenshot and my high-resolution file are definitely not the same thing.
And here's the one I'll probably preach until I'm 90...
PRINT. YOUR. PHOTOGRAPHS.
Seriously.
Put them on the wall. Put them in an album. Give one to your parents or grandparents.
Because photographs are funny like that.
The picture you love today might become absolutely priceless twenty years from now.
That's one of the biggest reasons I care so much about what I do.
So when you find a photographer whose work feels like you, trust them.
Be present. Laugh. Love on your people. Don't worry about whether your hand is sitting exactly right or whether the light is perfect.
That's my job.
You just enjoy the moment.
I'll probably be somewhere behind the camera saying, “Yep...stay right there. That's it.” 😂📸
And hopefully we'll create something that means even more to you years from now than it does today.
Love In Every Frame
Brandon
