Couple Portraits

The Art of Being Yourself

What matters most to me is that your portraits actually look like you  – weird, wonderful, and entirely your own.

I’m not interested in stiff James Bond poses or Disney princess perfection. I want to take you off for some quiet time on your wedding day and just let you spend some time together.

Sometimes I’ll hang back. Sometimes we’ll figure it out together. But the only thing you need to bring is yourself.

The smartest thing Socrates ever said was that he didn’t know anything. I’m not claiming to be Socrates, but I’ll admit I don’t always know exactly what we’ll get. That not-knowing is the point and it’s what keeps the photos honest and unique.

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love”

“As plenty of people surely say, neither of us love having our photo taken, but Simon has a calming approach and doesn’t demand anything of you that you don’t want or aren’t comfortable with”

–  Rebekah & Philip
