i have been very fortunate to work with such amazing couples and families in my short career and i'm very grateful of the time they have shared with me, often times allowing me to see a side of them not many people even their closest friends get to see. make no mistake about it, i'm the hired help - someone my clients chose because i'm able to capture genuine moments without need to fabricate the emotion. i'm simply the person behind the camera - the real beauty of the images you see are because of the wonderful people i work with who open themselves up and allow me to see vulnerabilty, joy and happiness in its natural state, the way it would look when the cameras aren't around.
Allison and Ryan are a perfect example of what i'm talking about. they chose to break tradition and made arrangements to see each other for the first time on their wedding day before the ceremony and chose their home as the place of their meeting. i was fortunate enough to be the third person in the room when they first met and there is no way to explain in words the genuine excitement both Allison and Ryan felt when they first laid eyes on each other. i was able to witness that uniquely private moment with the happy couple and i can honestly say it remains to be one of my favorite moments as a wedding photographer. thank you Allison and Ryan for allowing me to capture that moment and share my vision with you and your family and friends.
authenticity is about soul. and soul is about finding the things in life that are real and pure. authenticity and soul is what enables me to share great images with you and i hope you enjoy them.
de jesus. out.
