After a decade of photographing weddings, there are lessons that only time can teach. Each wedding is unique, but certain truths have become clearer over the years. Here are five things I’ve learned that shape the way I approach every wedding I capture:

1. It’s About the Moments, Not Just the Photos
The most meaningful photographs aren’t always the ones that are perfectly composed or posed. It’s the moments—the shared glance, the quiet laugh, the spontaneous hug—that become the memories couples hold onto for a lifetime. That’s what I aim to capture: real, unscripted moments that tell your story.

2. Preparation Makes All the Difference
A well-prepared photographer can work seamlessly with the flow of the day. Knowing the venue, understanding the timeline, and anticipating key moments ensures I’m in the right place at the right time. It’s not about just taking photos; it’s about being present and ready for what’s next.

3. Every Couple Is Different
What works for one couple might not work for another. Some want candid shots, others prefer portraits. Some love dramatic moments, others prefer quiet intimacy. Listening to each couple and understanding their vision is key to creating images that truly reflect who they are.

4. The Best Photos Often Happen When You Least Expect Them
Some of the most unforgettable images come when people least expect it—during a quick glance, a moment of laughter, or a quiet, personal exchange. It’s the unexpected moments that add depth and life to your wedding album, and that’s where experience and instinct come in.

5. Weddings Are About People, Not Just Pretty Venues
No matter how beautiful the venue or grand the décor, it’s the people who make a wedding day memorable. The joy, the emotions, the connections between family and friends—that’s what makes each wedding unique, and that’s what I strive to capture in every frame.
