1. Put bandaids on a bridesmaid’s blistered toes [she couldn’t lean over in her dress].
2. Took photos of vendors at weddings & sent [edited] images for them to use, for free.
3. Sewed a button back onto a suit jacket [multiple times].
4. Fixed the make up of a bride who had tear stains running down her cheeks [multiple times].
5. Took home details/invite suite so I could spend more time on them.
Bonus cause it’s so frequent I don’t count it: Bustled so so many wedding dresses. taken in Austin, Texas by @jordanstratton](https://s5.imginn.com/743589301_18153086014500429_3592646846460135521_n.jpg?t51.82787-15/743589301_18153086014500429_3592646846460135521_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p828x828_sh2.08_tt6&_nc_cat=108&ig_cache_key=MzkzNzc1MTgwMjkzMzg3NTU5NjE4MTUzMDg2MDA4NTAwNDI5.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkNMSVBTLnhwaWRzLjEyMTYuc2RyLnZpZGVvX2RlZmF1bHRfY292ZXJfZnJhbWUuQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=ZJ7m4uWfVEMQ7kNvwGxV0vi&_nc_oc=AdqyTA1AnQMZ9q2LoylfyhIdVZit3Jc8WljlyrbTC_FDeLNXq8BnM5POXtwXC7bLpsENuGHp-2uZtRFdfy6MTWbn&_nc_ad=z-m&_nc_cid=0&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=vs1rljWMGF8HSZpZwcK7kg&_nc_ss=7a22e&oh=00_AQOHQ-z4fDQYWSzhKbIMSR3ojlTswBpligzi2IKNEKzkow&oe=6ACAF570)

Download ![Their wedding day, in 10 frames.
Diana & Nelson are high school sweethearts that wanted an elegant [but NOT stuffy] wedding day, with Bridgerton-esque vibes. And that’s what they got! It was full of fun, dancing the night away, & Mexican wedding traditions; including a bilingual ceremony.

Download ![If it rains on your wedding, IT’S OKAY. Rain made these photos happen! Gracie’s bridesmaids wouldn’t have needed to pick up her dress [while holding umbrellas] if not for the rain.
These photos were taken in less than five minutes, while walking from the chapel to the main venue. 🤌
As a wedding photographer, I actually don’t mind when it rains on your day. No, it’s not ideal, but it can make for even more memorable moments if you’re willing to roll with the punches.
Plus, unexpected events like these are absolute catnip to documentary wedding photographers.

Download ![You can call me the devil, cause I’m in the details.
And no, I’m not talking about perfectly curated flat lays.
These detail images *tend* to be more close up and are ESSENTIAL to telling a story. Of your wedding, of your product, of your work. [I also like to call the little vignettes]
They can encapsulate the feeling of something in a single image.
If establishing shots are to set context for the scene or moment, details are the b roll that plays to enhance that narrative. They’re what keep you engaged and invested in the story. They move it forward.
Plus, when you revisit the memory of something, you typically don’t see them in these wide, expansive moments.
More often than not, you remember blips—flashes of the bodies dancing, the way the candlelight hit the flowers on the table while you listened to your best friend give their speech.
I capture details because they’re important to the overall story, yes. But also because they’re often what we remember first when looking back. taken in Manhattan, New York by @jordanstratton](https://s5.imginn.com/671765896_18144879967500429_319592643212718785_n.jpg?t51.82787-15/671765896_18144879967500429_319592643212718785_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p1290x1290_tt6&_nc_cat=105&ig_cache_key=Mzg4MTgyMzc1ODU1MDk2MDgxOA%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkNBUk9VU0VMX0lURU0ueHBpZHMuMTQ0MC5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=VTBRzHiLBMYQ7kNvwGimbDe&_nc_oc=AdrvW0O9bArB3AQLxm5c-w9bPyw7EJKP5MhSBTkWUWFk61HCbNhvEyoQ27qXp5IH1AiVki618Iw-uyrU7Thmp61A&_nc_ad=z-m&_nc_cid=0&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=vs1rljWMGF8HSZpZwcK7kg&_nc_ss=7a22e&oh=00_AQNKwunMrzS47XHOoyeMmnPM9kuNp-GCO-WgknfivW6CCA&oe=6ACAF4E9)

Download ![[here’s your sign to have a purse bouquet for your wedding.] I LOVE this wedding trend not only because it’s so chic & unique, but also cause it’s customizable. Sometimes weddings trends feel like the only option is copy & paste, but with this one there are so many iterations possible!
Also, imagine you have your bouquet dried out or recreated with faux flowers and then BOOM you have a unique & personal art piece for your home.
Chandler & Jarod had their beautiful micro wedding at a boutique hotel and her decision to have a purse bouquet complimented the aesthetic of the space GORGEOUSLY.
What do you think? Is this trend a love or leave?

Download ![As a photographer myself, there’s one piece of advice I have for people looking to hire a wedding photographer, brand photographer, you name it.
Consider MORE than just their photos you love. Think about what matters to YOU. Some of my non-negotiables when working with a client:
Trust.
The experience they desire & that I provide.
Connection with them, their story, their business, etc.
Being present to their day, the moment, the project.
How it FEELS.
