Where do I even begin with this super cool and laid back couple? Well, heck. That’s the perfect place to begin: Katie and Will are super cool and laid back. Among the top priorities for their day at Little Oatlands: – hanging out with their people, – carefree vibes, – dancing ’till late to the tasty jams from Katie’s cousin’s band (Wim Tapley and the Cannons). And that’s precisely what happened. And it was glorious. — They even afforded me the ability to show up day-of knowing basically nothing about the plans, which is what sweet wedding photo dreams are made of. Seriously, my best work is done when I have no idea what’s going to happen.
Besides the few portraits and group photos, this image set was recorded entirely hands-off. Nothing was staged. Nothing influenced. At zero points did I stop and tell anyone how to stand or smirk or toast or how to button their jacket. It is simply an organic free-range human celebration, recorded as though Aneila and I were guests. Katie and Will went about their day while we roamed around and looked for interesting photographic material and natural vibes. Of course, there is the occasional breaking of the fourth wall (guests noticing and interacting with the camera), but that’s cool sometimes. I think it showcases the looser side of a personality. TLDR: this is the epitome of the product I wish to cultivate: an uninterrupted wedding experience with an image set that honestly depicts the happenings within.
Onwards!
