INQUIRE ABOUT FILMS

What is documentary wedding photography?

Documentary wedding photography is a candid, storytelling approach to capturing your wedding day. Rather than staging shots or directing moments, I focus on documenting real interactions and emotions as they unfold naturally, resulting in authentic and meaningful images.

How does documentary wedding photography differ from traditional wedding photography?

Unlike traditional wedding photography, which often involves posed shots and orchestrated scenes, documentary photography captures the day as it happens. The emphasis is on candid moments, genuine expressions, and the natural flow of events, providing a more truthful representation of your wedding day.

Will we still get some posed family portraits with documentary wedding photography?

Yes, while the focus is on capturing candid moments, I understand the importance of family portraits. We’ll set aside time during the day to take these traditional shots, ensuring you have a complete collection of memories, including both posed and spontaneous images.

How do you capture the key moments if you’re not directing the day?

As a documentary wedding photographer, I blend into the background and anticipate important moments. My experience allows me to be in the right place at the right time, capturing the key events without interrupting the flow of your day.

What should we expect during the wedding day with documentary photography?

Expect a relaxed and unobtrusive presence. I’ll capture everything from the quiet, intimate moments to the lively celebrations without needing to pose or stage anything. You can focus on enjoying your day, knowing that all the special moments are being documented.

How do you handle low light or challenging lighting conditions?

I am skilled in working with various lighting conditions, including low light, which is often part of a wedding’s natural atmosphere. I use techniques and equipment that allow me to capture beautiful images in any setting, ensuring that your memories are preserved no matter the lighting.

Will we get photos of all the details, like decor and venue shots?

Absolutely! While my focus is on capturing people and moments, I also take care to document the details that make your wedding unique. I’ll capture the decor, venue, and all the little touches that you’ve worked hard to create, all within the context of your day’s story.

How do you make sure you don’t miss important moments?

I work closely with you beforehand to understand the key events and moments you want to be captured. On the day, I’m always observing and ready to capture spontaneous interactions and significant moments as they happen, ensuring nothing is missed.

What if we want a mix of documentary and some creative or artistic shots?

While my primary approach is documentary, I can certainly incorporate creative and artistic shots if that’s something you’re interested in. We can discuss your preferences beforehand to ensure your vision is reflected in the final collection of images.

How long will it take to receive our documentary wedding photos?

You can expect to receive your fully edited documentary wedding photos within 4-6 weeks after your wedding. I carefully curate and edit each image to tell the complete story of your day, and I’ll provide a few preview images within a week to give you an early glimpse of the memories we captured.

KYLE + MADISON

I’ve gotten so many compliments that my wedding photos captured the day better than anyone could’ve imagined. The venue for the wedding was absolutely stunning, but somehow, Katie and David made it look even more stunning in the way they shot their photos. One of my favorite things from our engagement shoot was when they whipped out a speaker and starting playing music that we all jammed out to. They are truly a joy to be around, and they are the sweetest couple. Very professional and talented photographers! Katie sends out sneakpeaks so quickly and is very timely with responding and sending out the rest of the bulk of the photos. I would recommend them to anyone!

From a photoshoot for our engagement, to a photoshoot with our dogs, to our wedding photos- I’m absolutely in awe! The way Katie and David make you feel so comfortable and how much fun they are to be around made taking photos so much less stressful and easy
