Your wedding day goes so fast and there are so many wonderful people that you want to connect with. But make sure you take time to connect with each other, in a quiet place away from your guests and family. Take a few deep breaths together and soak in the special moment. ⁠

Capture the little moments. The ones that are ordinary and simple. They may seem "boring" right now, but those are the moments of growth and bonding. They are the moments that deepen your connection, and they'll be the ones you miss the most when your littles are grown.

So many people have a favorite part of the wedding. Some look forward to watching the bride walk down the aisle, some say watching the grooms' reaction is the best part. Some people love those small details of the getting-ready part of the day, and others say the dance-with-abandon atmosphere after the toasts and the cake is the best. Personally, my favorites are the small, quiet, intimate moments that almost no one notices outside of the people who are involved. The small glances, the gentle hand squeeze, the proud gaze, the whispered secret. These are the moments I hunt down on a wedding day. When I find them, my heart jumps with utter glee. Later when I'm editing, I just melt from the love that radiates from the image. I strive for my images to not just capture the events of the day, but to capture the emotion, the love, the connection of the people so you can feel these emotions and relive these moments time and time again.

That grooms reaction, tho. Swipe to see the rest. This was the sweetest thing I've seen in a very long while. ❤️

📣 BIG NEWS! Be sure to tap on the photos to see more details. I am looking for 1 couple who is getting married in the first half of this year who would specifically like a documentary wedding photographer. I am offering $600 off of their chosen wedding package. This office is not bound to the WV/PA area. If this is you, or you know someone who would be interested in this, check out my latest blog post, and then contact me with any questions!

tagged me to share 8 things about myself. Here we go:

1. I am an empath. I feel others' pain, hurt, grief, fear, surprise, frustration, joy, excitement, victory, interest, and satisfaction. As draining as this is, I wouldn't change it for the world. It plays a huge part in the core of who I am.
•
2. I love taking photos of real emotion, frozen in time, to be felt and remembered over and over by not just the one who felt the original emotion, but by every viewer. I believe the drive for this is tied to #1.
•
3. I LOVE history. I love it's richness and complexity and how it shapes the future. Every time I see some window into the past, whether it be a photo of my grandfather in his army uniform, an old photo of my family when I was a kid, an old book from my dad's childhood, old medicine bottles, a display in a museum, or a historical fiction book/show/movie, I am immediately and wholly captured by it and the stories it has to tell. I think this is tied to #1 and #2.
•
4. I would take an experience with someone I love over a physical gift every time. Probably because of #1.
•
5. I consider myself a pretty frugal person, but I LOVE Disney World (probably because of #1, #3, and #4) and I have zero shame about it.
•
6. I still don't really know what I want to do as a career, because every time I think I know, I find something else I really enjoy.
•
7. I have a deep, resounding pull towards documentary photos. It's almost a physical feeling in my chest. The raw, true, untamed emotion and reality strikes my heartstrings like nothing else (probably because of #1, #2, #3, and #4), but I am struggling to figure out how to implement that into my business (probably because of #6).
•
8. I firmly and unapologetically hate the cold. Probably just because it's terrible. 🥶
