I adore photography (obvi), but why did I specifically chose to photograph weddings + couples apposed to any of the other niches I could have pursued? Ill tell ya.
First lets rewind to 8 years ago; I was freshly graduated from High School when I decided I wanted to be a wedding photographer. I’ll skip to the end of that part of my story – it didn’t work out (even though I did shoot some weddings). long story short; I spread myself too thin, listened to the negative things people had to say too much and just didn’t have a clear vision of what I wanted and what I could offer.
Fast forward to 2022 after I had my son, I was praying about what I should do in regards to photography & my career in general. Before I had Owen I was doing all kinds of photography and I had my own hair styling business in Calabasas CA. And no matter how much I loved doing hair, the thought of leaving my son to go to the salon 40+ hours a week sounded crappy.
Soon after praying for guidance, I won a scholarship to a photography workshop in Palm Springs by two incredible wedding photographers I had followed and admired for years; Evie Rupp & Lindsay Roman (check em’ out, I friggin love them). It was a life changing experience, and with all the knowledge I gained from that workshop the main thing it brought me was so much clarity.
After the workshop + 8 years of photography business; I completely rebranded, niched down and went full time into this business I have now.
So why weddings you may ask? To put it simply; because I love marriage.
Like I am really, truly, so passionate about marriage. Weddings are the start to your new life, and I want to capture that no matter how simple or spectacular and Pinterest worthy it may be.
Yes, weddings are gorgeous and give me a heck of a lot of things to photograph, but its so much more to me. Marriage is sacred. As much as I love a good party, thats not what marriage is about. The reason I love to photograph weddings and couples isn’t just for the romantic aesthetics, but because its in a way a form of worship for me to highlight the gift God gave us that is marriage.
I mean.. how rad is it to photograph love??!
And that goes for the days leading up to getting married, day of & all the years after.
So to sum it up; as an artist, my best work comes from telling a story that I’m passionate about, which means weddings and couples are right up my alley.
I love marriage and I love the way God has set it up. I live it everyday with my husband, so everyday I am praising the Lord for Brandon and the relationship we have together. I want people to experience the kind of relationship the Lord has blessed Brandon and I with. No, its not perfect, nothing but God is, but its good. Its really good.
So when I tell you I am SO STOKED for every couple that inquires – I really mean it. Marriage is such a blessing.
