My Inspiration

I immensely value what I do for others. For a while I thought I was just taking pictures but after photographing over 250 weddings, I realize over and over again, and always to a new and deeper understanding, that what I offer is much more than photos, but preserving and sometimes even creating wonderful memories for people.

This weekend was one of those times, and this is what happened. I was shooting some candid photos during a wedding cocktail hour of three young smiling siblings making jokes and eating cake with their dad as the hot summer day was starting to cool off just before dusk. As I was snapping away, they noticed me and thought it was the funniest thing. I kept photographing and as soon as I walked away, I realized that what I just documented would be something they and their parents wouldn’t trade for the world. Years from now, they’ll look back with nostalgia at what I was able to create for them at that wedding. As I walked away I teared up just thinking about it, and did again the next couple times I told my friends about the experience. Moments like these are why I love to do what I do.
