{Back Blog} - Photo Shoot Date: June 16, 2013
While I am excited to launch this new website of mine, I think it's important to show some of the work that has gotten me to where I am so far on my path as a wedding photographer. I started shooting in 2000, and only really moved into photographing people in 2011. In the yoga community, I found my niche. I focused on the body as a piece of art in beautiful poses. While I had ventured into families and newborns, I hadn't moved too far past the only newly acquired comfort zone of photographing people when Checka approached me.
"I looked on your website and I didn't see any weddings. Do you do weddings?..." And before I barely replied that I hadn't yet, Checka continued something like, "because I'd like you to photograph mine. You ARE photographing mine." It's something that can only be said by her, one of the sweetest people I have met in my life, and come across as such a compliment. She knew my work from the yoga world and trusted me already.
Working with her was such an incredible experience. More on that in my next post.
For now, my favorite photograph from Checka & Farless' engagement photo session.
