Lately I have been getting a lot of people asking how I work. How I shoot the day of, etc.
It’s a good questions because for most people it is the first time they will be working with a professional photographer and they just don’t know what to expect.
So How do I work?
For one I shoot what I see. I don’t mess with whats going on. I’m extremely candid. Most people are familiar with the term photojournalism. This term refers to telling a story through a series of photos by simply capturing what is happening and not by making things happen. This is how I photograph 50% of the day. The other 50% is when we are doing portraits. The portraits are one of the most important and funnest parts of the day for me. It is also the couples (for most) toughest part because now its just you and the camera. But don’t worry because this is where I am 100% directional. It is the only way to get what I want and to give you the photos I know your going to love. I call this candid posed portraits. Because my style is very natural doesn’t mean it was naturally happening. My couples have loved this part about me because if your a person that is not comfortable in front of the camera or don’t know how to be or feel like its not right, don’t worry thats what I am here for. I’m here to tell you exactly what to do. no thinking involved. YET still causing the naturally posed series of portraits. If something doesn’t look right don’t worry I’ll change it up. My goal is only to make you look your best , feel your best, have fun doing it and not have to feel like your working for it.
When we meet at our consult you’re likely to notice immediately that I am different from most photographers because I am more casual than most you will ever meet with.
When we shoot your engagement session you’ll see exactly what I am talking about when I say candid posed, and the directions I give for getting the right shot.
On your wedding day you won’t see me all dressed in black like I am the vendor feeding you food. Nope. Thats just not how I roll. It’s 2013 not 1983.
All in all the way I work is the way I see it happening, and you guys are the subjects of life moving around. Let me capture it.
When I decided on the name Punch Drunk Love I wanted it to portray, chillness, fun, love, sweetness, fashion, power, and a little drunkenness all in one name. If none of those words describe you, then my friend you will not understand how I photograph.
