I recall my wedding day so clearly - like it was yesterday, and yet it has been many years now. I photographed my first wedding over ten years ago, and I still enjoy photographing them today.
There will be no wedding like your own, and my job is to capture it, so you can enjoy the memories for years to come.
You may have noticed that my photographic style is a combination of candids and formals. My brides tell me there is nothing more boring than an album that looks like a family reunion where everyone is staring at the camera. "Where are the tears?" "Where are the hugs and kisses?" "Where are the captured emotions?" they are left wondering.
Modern brides want what's interesting and memorable, so I try to give them a good balance of both types of images. My albums always tell the story, but with emotion and detail.
A gift I have always had is for noticing good light. Much of my childhood memories are marked by the light I saw. This is just an ability I was born with, so for me, I prefer the best natural light I can find at a location. You can even ask me how the lighting is at different places, at different times of the year, and I can describe the subtle variations.
California Weds Magazine Cover by Tammy HughesExperience (11 years) and details (PPA Certified) are what sets photographers apart, and you will find I am flexible and easy to get along with. I will never put my photographic interests ahead of your wedding day! Next to the wedding planner, the photographer is the one person you will be spending most of your time with. It is important that you feel comfortable with whomever you choose as your wedding photographer.
The connection I have with my brides continues for years to come. I photograph them when they're engaged, when they're pregnant, and after their newborns arrive. Such a connection is hard to find, and yet I have this with my brides.
You can see from my wedding location page that I am based in Modesto, Northern California. However I do weddings in other areas like Tahoe, Sacramento, San Diego, the Bay Area, etc.
I look forward to talking with you about your wedding day. Webmail / Toll free - 1-866-571-9624 / Local - (209) 343-1624
