In my photos, I don’t aim to create a fantasy. I aim to capture the most poignant and meaningful moments of real life. Whether I’m photographing a wedding or a family portrait, I don’t focus on perfect staging or forcing everyone to stand just so, at this or that exact angle. To me, that’s not just boring but unrealistic. Beauty lies within the imperfections, and truth happens in the midst of everyday activities we may take for granted, but which so often reveal who we really are.
Those are the moments I seek to document—those moments that you, your family, your guests, the people you cherish the most will look at and love because when they know they are seeing something real and meaningful—some moment of depth and feeling that may have passed in an instant, but which can be forever preserved when it is caught on film. To me, this is the essence of my art, and the real purpose of photography.
