Last week, I gave a short talk to a room full of brides at Simply Love Studio.  I was there to give them advice for how to make the most of their wedding photography.  The biggest component of having amazing wedding photography is to make sure that you, the bride and groom, are perfectly matched to your wedding photographer.  Before you pick a photographer, look at their blog.  Your attitudes toward people, life—the way you see the world should coincide.  You’ll want your photographer to see the best in you.  The way you, in your mind’s eye, see yourself.

We as photographers all have a choice as to when we press the shutter release button, you know?  I believe that we press it subconsciously when we see that glimpse of what we believe to already be true.  I love people.

Amanda and Brian are awesome people, and I hope that my affection for them comes across in the images.  They’re just cool, laid back folks.  And they picked one of my favorite venues in Lexington for both the ceremony and reception—The Carrick House.  Kara  Heissenbuttel—-you always do an amazing job running the events there.  Good seeing you!

Thank you to Scott Hicks and Magnus Lindqvist for shooting with me.  You guys are so much fun to be around.

Here are a few of my fave images:

Pretty cool, eh?
