Q. What influenced your decision to become a wedding photographer?
A. I went to school for commercial photography, where I discovered that my passion was people. Weddings are the perfect way to experience people at their greatest. They are full of excitement and emotion. My life is about connecting with people, and through wedding photography I have the opportunity to connect with many people. I get the opportunity to explore the connection between the couples also, and show them what I see.
Q. Describe your wedding photography style:
A. My style caters to the clients that I am working with. We spend time going over what they like and dislike so that I can tell the story of their wedding their way. It can be fashion derived, artful, quirky, stylish, sexy or romantic. Regardless, I always focus on the connection between the couple.
Q. Where are your favourite places to shoot in Edmonton?
A. My favorite place to shoot, is somewhere new. I like architectural backgrounds, color, texture and sometimes grit. I love fields and trees and bridges. I love places that have beams of natural light! I like to shoot in a location that speaks to something about my couples.
Q. Do you photograph weddings outside of the Edmonton area, and if so, where are you able to travel?
A. I shoot anywhere people are willing to take me! I love travel as much as I love photography!
Q. What makes you different from other wedding photographers?
A. Every photographer is different. I personally focus on the relationship between my clients and myself. They feel comfortable enough with me to show their true colors, whatever those may be! I like uniqueness and I strive to offer that to my clients in the work I produce. I offer luxurious and stylish products and I have speedy turn around. My clients always come first.
Q. If you were getting married (or if you were to do it all over again), who would you choose to photograph your wedding, and why?
A. I would never change the photographers from our wedding. We had Fuller Edge from Calgary shoot our wedding, three years ago, and they were perfect! They did an awesome job capturing our style! Love them! If I were getting married again, it would be them hands down and would recommend them to anyone!
Q. Do you photograph anything else other than weddings?
A. I have a boudoir company also: www.lipstickandlace.ca. Women are too hard on themselves these days! To be able to show them the beauty that they hold and sometimes can’t see, is a gift to me. It is also a very personal and unique gift for a groom, or anniversary gift and so it is a perfect pair with wedding photography. I also shoot awesome families being themselves. Oh and Dogs, love them and adore photographing them being dogs!
