question I often hear from brides is ” Have you ever been to the ________ before” and while I’ve photographed over 250 weddings in a 10 year career as of this writing; my career has evolved to a wildly decentralized clientele. And I like that, I appreciate that, and I rise to the challenge of exploring new locations every time I go out to shoot. I explain how my internal psyche and temperament make it good for me, but let me expound on a few of the tricks where the video left off with this image:
Why am I made to be a good wedding photographer?

It’s wild fun and I love that I’m perfectly made for it!

You’ll see how much I enjoy travel, [...]
