Behind the camera

Whitney

I got into this because of a badly exposed photo of my grandparents dancing.

What started as a hobby quickly became something I fell completely in love with. I've always dreamed of photographing weddings — capturing the little moments, the big emotions, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves and everything in between.

I'm 30, I shoot digital with a film-ish grade, and I always keep a second body loaded with black and white for the moments that deserve it. On the day I'm calm, easy to be around and mostly invisible, though you'll catch me grinning when the speeches go off-script.

Then you get a gallery that feels like the day actually felt: warm, slightly imperfect, very loud, completely yours.

Even if you've only picked a season and an approximate number of guests — write anyway. I answer everything myself.
