Not every wedding photo has to be a cuddle! I love compositions that play with perspective and movement, especially when the couple is posed far apart from each other. This couple is super fun and goofy, so a composition like this fit them perfectly.

The hill and the gap in the trees created a really nice frame for the couple, but the foreground needed some love. Using my phone to reflect the amazing sunset did the trick!

I'm always looking for leading lines, so this seemingly infinite row of trees made the perfect frame for the couple. This was another rainy wedding day, which made it easy to capture these rich, deep green tones.

I always try and do something creative when we're blessed with really directional sunlight! Facing the couple toward the direct light really made them pop off the background. Of course, I had to do a little shutter drag to add to the visual interest!

I typically use my 50mm and 24mm for a majority of a wedding day, but I always pack a 70-200 in the bag, just in case. I'm glad I did! Being able to punch in super tight without disturbing the moment allowed us to capture the father of the bride's single tear as he saw his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time.

One of my favorite weddings of the year, but definitely the hottest day. I wanted to minimize the amount of time I kept the couple inside, and the venue had strict rules about what I could adjust around the space. No worries! Opening the curtains on these ceiling-to-floor windows gave us some nice, soft, yet focused light.

Timing is everything! While my second photographer was working with a couple on a different image, I waited for the perfect moment to capture this long exposure. I love how it feels like time is slowing down around them and it feels like they are melting into each other in this moment.

This couple was down for absolutely anything, so going out for sunset photos on one of the hottest days in June wasn't a problem for them. The amazing light and fantastic couple did all the work for me!

I love taking my couples out for night photos. When the skies were this clear and the stars were so bright, I let nature do all the work to make this beautiful image!

This was such a hot wedding day and it poured rain on us immediately after the ceremony, which cut the couple's creative session short. Luckily, this couple was so amazing, and we went out for a few minutes during the reception after the rain subsided. You can see how the rain made the green tones just absolutely pop in this image. I love the visual depth created by the greens and the stone.

Before the ceremony, the bride wanted to minimize the amount of time we spent outside, so we kept to inside the venue for most of the pre-ceremony photos. These were the sliding doors to the kitchen, behind them were carts of kitchen supplies and mop buckets. The doors were so interesting to my eye and I wanted to give the couple a break from all the normal cuddle photos. A tilt-shift lens added just the right amount of depth and drama to the scene!

So many of my favorite images came about due to some type of roadblock. In this case, weather! We were stuck inside their reception space due to the rain that day. A simple flash backlight and some fog made them really pop against the cluttered, but gorgeous, background.
