What is this documentary wedding style you talk about so much?
This approach captures the realness of your day creating a wedding gallery that’s full of genuine emotion and story. As a Denver documentary wedding photographer, I understand that the best moments of your day lies in the unplanned, real moments that just happen naturally. Documentary photography is about more than just "taking pictures"; it’s about telling the story of your wedding through unposed, genuine moments that really reflect who you are.
This approach allows me to connect more deeply with couples and capture their stories in a way that’s both meaningful and authentic. It’s a style that requires patience and attentiveness, as I aim to blend into the background and let moments unfold as they are.
Rather than orchestrating every shot, I focus on being a quiet observer. It’s this intentional and unobtrusive approach that distinguishes my work—sometimes the most powerful photos are the ones you didn’t even know were being taken, but that’s the true beauty of documentary photography.
You’ll get as much direction as you want and need! If I notice you feeling uncomfortable or lost, I’ll be there to support you. But if you and your partner are naturally doing your thing, I’ll happily step back and let those genuine moments just happen.
How much direction will you give us during the day?
A good documentary photo captures moments as they naturally unfold, without being forced or staged. It's the little interactions and genuine connections that make an image meaningful. The best documentary photos are the ones that evoke an emotion—you can feel the moment just by looking at it.
What makes a good photo?
I usually switch a photo to black and white when I really want to highlight an emotion or if the colors or background might distract from the story. Most of your photos will be in color, but you’ll see black and white sprinkled in when it helps bring out the feeling of the moment.
Do you deliver black and white photos?
Absolutely! If you and your partner want family portraits or posed photos, I’m here for it. I always recommend doing these as keepsakes, but my focus will be on capturing the moments that truly matter to you. We’ll talk about what percentage of these posed images you’d like for your wedding, so it feels just right.
Will you still capture family portraits? and posed photos?
