While I've always been into photography, I never planned on becoming a wedding photographer. But there were three key moments that completely changed my path, and honestly, I'm so grateful they happened.
The first was getting my hands on a proper camera and becoming absolutely obsessed with learning every little detail I could. Once I set my mind on something, nothing will get in the way – just ask my wife! I was that guy watching YouTube tutorials at 2am and practicing on anyone who'd let me.
The second moment was actually pretty devastating at the time. At my own wedding, our photographer forgot to pack spare batteries, so we missed capturing loads of precious moments from our day. I remember feeling gutted about it, but it also lit a fire in me – I knew I could do so much better for other couples.
The third was when a friend of a friend casually asked if I'd shoot their wedding for $700. I said yes without hesitation, and honestly, the rest is history! That first wedding was terrifying and exhilarating all at once.
What really drives my passion though is my love for life's simple pleasures. Nothing makes me happier than laughs and hangs with my wife and kids, those early morning beach swims when the world's still quiet, cooking my family a delicious meal, or getting my hands dirty growing veggies in the garden. And if I can combine them all? Hanging at the beach with the fam, then firing up the pizza oven with fresh tomatoes and basil straight from the garden – now that's my idea of perfection!
This love for genuine, simple moments is exactly what shapes my philosophy on weddings. Your wedding should be a day of pure love, good times, and laughter with the people who matter most to you. It doesn't need to be some massive spectacle or production – it just needs to be authentically you.
Think about it – it's one of the rare times in life when ALL your favorite people are together in one place. That's pretty special, right? That's why I believe you should be present and soaking up every minute of it, not spending hours away from your guests having endless photos taken. My job is to capture those beautiful moments as they naturally unfold, so you can focus on what really matters – celebrating this incredible milestone with the people you love most.
