Asheville and Key West Real Moments Wedding Photographer

As an Asheville and Key West Wedding photographer, I have had the opportunity to connect with my clients in a variety of unique and incredible ways. I help capture and commemorate the special, once-in-a-lifetime moments that make up a couple’s wedding day, from the tear in a father’s eye as he walks his little girl down the aisle; the groomsmen who burst in at the ideal moment, celebrated by everyone around them; the flower girl tripping as she walks down the aisle and the colorful petals that fly through the air as a result.

All of those moments make up your special day—and I aim to help capture them in a way that you can look back on with joy, laughter, and love for years to come. It’s not just about the moments between the bride and groom, though I certainly aim to capture those with skill and precision. It’s also about unobtrusively photographing the organic real moments among the other people who came to celebrate you, the lovely setting for your wedding, and the love that brings you all together.

Many people start thinking about their wedding day, and their future spouse, from the time they’re very young. Little girls imagine what their dress will look like, the beauty of the veil, the vows her groom will speak. Little boys might imagine how their spouse will look like coming down the aisle toward them.

As a relationship grows, so does the dream. Many couples start talking about their wedding long before they even become engaged. They might start to imagine their vows, who they will have around them on their special day, even the personal themes or private touches that will help make their dream a reality. Often, the special moments that lead up to your wedding are built over years: phone calls, private moments lying together, quiet “I love you’s” that help to build your connection to one another.

Your wedding day makes those dreams a reality.

As an Asheville and Key West wedding photographer, I work with couples to help understand their dreams and the poignant moments they’re hoping to create on their wedding day. I’m here to capture the reality of those dreams, from the artfully crafted little details of your wedding to the stunning emotion in every moment of your special day.

Your wedding day is made up of dozens, if not hundreds, of special, magical moments. Each wedding is as unique as the two people getting married—not to mention all the people who come out to share that special day with them. As I work with my couples, I capture those special moments and bring them together in a compelling, comprehensive way that you can look back on and remember, not only the details but also the love and full experience. 

“Blink and you’ll miss it” is particularly apt when it comes to Key West and Asheville wedding photography. It’s part of both the challenge and the magic. I aim to unobtrusively blend into the scenes around you while capturing those critical details from the perspective of the bride and groom, offering a stunning look at your special day through the lens of the camera. My goal is to photograph your day as it organically: not to manufacture moments, but to capture them. The magic is already there between you, and that’s something that can’t be faked.

As a Key West and Asheville wedding photographer, it’s my job to not only capture the bride and groom’s point of view but all of the moments that are happening around them. Each wedding, just like each couple, is unique and deserves to be photographed in a way that brings out the couple’s personality and love. When you work with me, I’m there to capture everything as the excitement, planning, and anticipation coalesces into a beautiful ceremony. 

There are few moments in a couple’s life that contain the same raw emotion that you’ll often find at a wedding. As an Asheville and Key West wedding photographer, I’ve photographed the wide range of emotions that happen at weddings, preserving the unscripted and candid moments that make true memories. By mastering wedding photojournalism I’m able to capture those vital moments as they’re happening, so you don’t have to worry about missing a single moment of your wedding. 

In both Asheville and Key West, my goal is to capture photos that evoke the best emotion, not just the obvious (aka bland) ones.  There’s stunning vibrancy and energy to the air, whether your guests are arriving in the gorgeous North Carolina Blue Ridge mountains or standing on the shores of Key West. My job is to capture still shots within that cacophony of life and movement that make up the amazing moments of your wedding day—not only to provide an honest look at what is, but to pull back the metaphorical veil and showcase the emotion present throughout the day.
