WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.

Wedding photographers love the word ‘timeless.’
Tbh, I use it too.
But let’s be real, most of the time, it’s just another buzzword. A synonym for ‘pretty’ or ‘classic’ or ‘I swear I’m different’. And the word has lost a lot of meaning.

So what do I actually mean when I say I make timeless wedding photos?

When my grandmothers were alive, one of my favorite things to do with either of them was to look at old family photos. They each had enormous collections of old black and white photos that dated back generations. One of my most treasured memories is an afternoon I spent visiting with my Granny Evelyn in 2010, sitting on her couch beside her while she told me stories about each photo and each family member as we flipped through her album one last time. She loved photos. I happened to have my cameras on that visit, and she asked me to make a photo of her. Nothing special, no dressing up. Just a quick photo of her standing in her living room that she wanted to send to her sister.

The next time I saw her a few weeks later, she was in the hospital. She passed away not long after that. Those photos from that last visit are some of the most valuable photos I’ve ever made.

Here’s the truth about photos-
They age.
They will become dated.
The hairstyles will become dated.
The clothes and the cars and the furniture and the decor will become dated.
Even the tools we use to make the photos will become outdated.

And that’s the point.

What makes a photo timeless isn’t how little it changes, it’s how much it holds.

So what do I mean when I say that I make timeless photography?

I mean I’m not here to document perfection. I’m here to document connection.

The way your partner looks at you when they see you in your wedding clothes the first time.
Your best friend’s tears during their toast.
The absolute chaos of the dance floor.
That tiny, fleeting moment you would have forgotten – except you won’t, because there’s a photo to bring it all back.

I’m not photographing clothes or cake.
I’m photographing what it felt like to be there.
To be loved. To be celebrated. To be fully in a moment for just a little while.

Love is messy.
Love is real.
And love is the only thing that doesn’t go out of style.

Love is timeless.

It always has been, and always will be.

You won’t know how valuable a photo is until it’s all you have left.
