I discovered young that I loved capturing the world around me in the effort of preserving memories. While in college, I realized that it wasn’t only capturing memories but representing people in their natural environment. Everyone wants to be seen, heard, loved, and I love getting to know the people that I’m working with and given them glimpses of their lives through my own eyes that show just how full of life they are.
My favorite moment was probably the moment I captured the photo that is now the 2024 Photo of the Year. I remember that wedding very clearly, the connect I made with the couple was strong and effortless. I remember capturing that photo, seeing the joy and love, and then their reaction to that photo and knowing that it was going to be important.
I feel what makes my work stand out is that I strive to get to know my couples, and not just surface level but also on a comfortability level too. Photography can be a very challenging and personally thing, especially in your wedding day, and as a plus size photographer I know just how uncomfortable it can be if someone doesn’t take into account how you are feeling in front of the camera. It is my goal to make you look and especially feel good on your big day, in a way that is true to you and your partner.
There are honestly few things that I don’t like about being a photographer. I love the creative freedom that comes with the medium and the amount that it allows me to explore as well as the forgiveness. If there’s something we want to try, let’s absolutely go for it! It may not work out but no harm no foul, that’s what it’s about.
I am a collector, I have all sorts of different collections floating around amongst my things. My favorite is my vintage camera collection currently boasting 38 cameras and several are in working order and I have shot on them!
"Kyon was an amazing DJ. He fit the vibe so well. It was like he was a close friend just helping out. It was truly lovely.
He was very thoughtful and kept everything flowing. He made sure no one touched our cake or the desserts until it was time for cake, because I (bride) told him I was concerned people will try to get desserts when it wasn't time, but he made an announcement and kept an eye out for us. I highly recommend that he continue doing what he's doing!
Lindsay did a wonderful job making sure we got all the photos we needed/wanted. She was sweet and funny. She also made sure my dress didn't drag in the mud. We had another photographer, but I didn't catch his name, but he took candid shots of the groom and groomsman getting ready and of guests."
