—Qui vous a influencé le plus en tant que photographe ?

—Susan Stripling.

—Comment avez-vous commencé à travailler dans la photographie ?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Êtes-vous photogénique ?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Selon vous, quels sont les éléments les plus importants d'une bonne photo ?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Aimez-vous voyager ?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Quel aspect de votre profession préférez-vous ?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Quel aspect de votre profession aimez-vous le moins ?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Quel est le futur de la photographie ?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—De quoi vous inquiétez-vous, et pourquoi ?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Qu'est-ce que le style de photographie dans lequel vous travaillez a de spécial ?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—Tout d’abord, qui pouvez-vous désigner meilleur photographe dans San Diego ? :)

—I think that we all want to say ourselves but really the best wedding photographer is the one the best fits the style of what the bride and groom are looking for. But as far as artistic, creative, documentary wedding photography, it's got to be me ;)

—Quels devraient être les critères pour qu'un client choisisse un photographe ?

—Stay away from Pinterest and keep it real. Real is always better. Make sure they do research and spend the money. This is the ONE area you don't what to skimp out on. If the bride and groom set a budget and it turns out that wedding photographers cost more, well than it's time to change the budget as well. Don't try to work with it. Make sure you see at least 2 full weddings. Photographers only want to show you their best.

—Comment avez-vous commencé à travailler dans la photographie ?

—It looked like a lot of fun! I wanted to approach it differently than your "traditional" wedding photographer. It really paid off :)

—Êtes-vous photogénique ?

—Quel aspect de votre profession préférez-vous ?

—Trying to make a picture. It's a challenge that is highly rewarding.

—Quel aspect de votre profession aimez-vous le moins ?

—I am very hard on myself and by far my worst critic. But it's this that keeps me pushing, improving my eye and making better photographs.

—Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

—I like it. As long as it's coming from the right people/places.

—Quel est le futur de la photographie ?

—Hopefully more documentary and true to life. There are a lot of clichés that are so unnecessary.
