Weddings

I could go on and on about documentary style wedding photos (after all, they are my entire life’s work), but I’ll leave you with this: Let yourself live it.

A courthouse wedding is every bit an art form. And Amber and Daniel’s vintage-coded elopement in Springfield, Tennessee is about to show you how it’s done.  If you’ve been around these parts awhile, then you know that unmistakably candid and profoundly honest documentary photography is my bread and butter.
