What does style mean to you?

I was sharing some ideas on a wedding photography forum the other day when someone commented on the fact that my photography style is not really photojournalism. This is true. I most enjoy shooting as a photojournalist then editing the photos in an artistic way. I often look at images before I begin to edit them and consider how to best describe the emotions I see represented in the image.

When choosing a photographer for your wedding, the style the photographer uses is just as important as what he or she is offering in their package. I have always believed that photography should speak to you. A photograph should tell what drives a photographer. What drives me? I am driven by this goal of uniquely sharing my client’s narrative. How do I manage this? I utilize a variety of techniques but most often, I combine editorial or photojournalism with artistic or creative photography.

Maxie B's


I got a chance to photography two beautiful cakes from Maxie B's on Battleground. I go once or twice a week for my weakness...butter pecan ice cream. On occasion I change it up and get the strawberry milkshake. I tell myself it is okay since it is made out of yogurt...who am I kidding. At any rate, if you are searching for that perfect wedding cake and excellent people to help you through your options, stop by Maxie B's.

There is certainly something special about wedding cake. The first desert you taste together after being joined. It isn't like birthday cake where someone chooses the cake for you and gets the icing all wrong (you know who you are). No this cake is your cake and you deserve it to be perfect.
