Q. What influenced your decision to become a wedding photographer?
A. To be 100% truthful, it just kind of happened. I’ve always had a love for the camera and my point and shoot is always in my purse. I have an amazing Fiance that bought me my first SLR and amazing friends that let me explore my ideas. One thing lead to the next and now I’m here. Its been amazing.I was asked to shoot my first wedding over a year ago. That was my inspiration to work hard to give them everything they wanted on their big day.
Q. Describe your wedding photography style:
A. would have to say personal, relaxed, and unique. Whether it be a portrait shoot or a wedding day, I love to tell the story through the lens. I’m known for capturing my clients in the full and really being able to feel emotions through a picture. Anyone can take a picture, but bringing out the true feelings, thats my favourite job.
Q. Describe your perfect client:
A. Nah, no such thing. I have been blessed to shoot over 80 shoots and meet some amazing people, most whom I have managed to maintain friendships with afterwards. I love capturing everyones true personality, or maybe even something they never knew they had. All clients are great clients.
Q. What is your favourite part of the wedding day(s)?
A. Definitley formals. Although I do love watching the process of a young lady go from a tired sleepless girl into a beautiful bride.
Formals is my time to work closely with the clients and build that relationship. Those are the pictures that get hung on the wall and that get looked at 20 years down the road and smiled at.
Q. Where are your favourite places to shoot in Edmonton?
A. Everywhere and Anywhere. I think location is definitly important but I am pretty good at making anything work. I love every style from beautiful parks to broken down buildings. Everything works, its just how you use it.
Q. Do you photograph weddings outside of the Edmonton area, and if so, where are you able to travel?
A. I absolutly do shoot outside of Edmonton. I actually recently shot a wedding in Cancun,Mexico which was stunning. I am also originally from Medicine Hat,Alberta. I am always up for travel all over Alberta…and I wont complain if you want to take me somewhere warm and beautiful! My 15 wedding locations for the rest of 2010 include Edmonton, Calgary, Medicine Hat and everything in between.
Q. What makes you different from other wedding photographers?
A. From the feedback I have received I would have to say my personality is what makes me different. I love being there with you for your day, again whether it be a portrait shoot or wedding. I love the relationship we are able to build. One wedding I spent most of the morning playing with the brides sweet one year old girl. I’m not your boring, “cookie cutter” photographer. I’m there to make your day be everything you want it to be. And I love the big hug at the end of the night once we’ve spent a great day together.
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. Ha ha this one is funny. I’m actually getting married next year in Mexico and this is my biggest struggle. I don’t know who I am going to book yet but being a photographer its one of the most important parts of my day.
Q. Do you photograph anything else other than weddings?
A. Absolutely, I shoot almost everything. I love portrait sessions but also do boudoir, maternity, and family as well.
