THe entire scene is natural but captured from 2 angles to make sure nothing is missed.

The church

Being creative and having a vision of the shot is the key to making your memories last. 

The pose

I don't call it posing in an image. I callout directing. The images I take are natural because I don't ask for smiles I create them. 

The old townhall

This was the scene of them coming together at the top floor of the townhall.

Staircase

In addition to my professional creativity, I prioritize allocating time to appreciate and reflect upon the inherent beauty within my creations.

Description

Bright and early at 7:30 am, Anamaria and I kicked off our day at the groom's place, cameras in hand, ready to soak in the excitement brewing as we captured the hour leading up to the big moment. You know, ties being straightened, a few nervous laughs – that magic hour of getting ready.

By 9:00 am, we were on the move, heading to the bride's turf. Eight bridesmaids and the bride's mom were our muses, turning the prep scene into a canvas of laughter and elegance. It was like orchestrating a symphony of emotions through the lens.

Then came 11:00 am, and we found ourselves at this gorgeous church. The first look – now that's a moment, isn't it? Twenty minutes of capturing the anticipation between the bride and groom, followed by a lightning-fast session with the whole family. Blink, and you'd have missed it, but not on our watch.

With the ceremony in full swing, an hour later, we were speeding towards Hartford Town Hall. The bridal party was all energy, and we spent an hour soaking it in – epic portraits, laughter echoing through the historic halls, you name it.

As the clock crawled past midnight, we finally hit the venue at 1:20 am. We kept rolling, fueled by passion. The bridal party, the newlyweds, every moment, every expression – it was all fair game for our lenses.

Sure, it was a marathon of a day, but you know what? It wasn't a job. It was a passion-fueled adventure. Capturing the essence of such a beautiful wedding isn't just a task; it's a celebration. It's not about the hours; it's about the love, the laughter, and the artistry we get to freeze in time. Now, that's what I call a day well spent.
