Recently met up with photographer and friend @chipxhazard . Out of curiosity I asked him why he pursued his craft, little did I know my camera was still recording and I captured his interesting responseā¦ so I threw together a quick edit and here we are.
This unexpected moment has inspired a new journey for meādedicating an hour to immerse myself with fellow creatives, documenting their craft while honing my own storytelling abilities and then spend another hour editing to avoid burnout and pursue my own projects aside from client work.
I feel like as AI transforms creative roles, knowing the āwhyā behind what we do is more important than ever.
LMK what you think?
We had perfect cloudy weather for Jenny & Gabeās engagement session last night.
This video is a hint of something weāre dropping soon š

Havenāt posted in a long timeā¦ and I must say it feels good to be back to shooting portraits! Itās definitely the creative break I needed!

While the in-between candid moments may happen unplanned, the best way to get them is with a smooth timeline that has been planned to perfection. What does a great timeline consist of? Well, itās a timeline that:
- has buffer times built in without anyone knowing besides the photographer and the planner.
- allows you to be in the moments.
- has been thought out and organized via phone call meetings and emails to ensure every single detail is covered.
- and most importantly, is a timeline that has you and your love story in mind.
Creation of a perfect timeline that has been worked on hand in hand with all of your vendors is one of many services included in all MPED packages š¤

How to know if youāre hiring a good wedding photographer ā
1. Are their photos consistent?
Check their portfolio to make sure all the vibes are the same
2. How experienced are they?
Any one can take a good photo, but an experienced photographer will help walk you through everything and make you feel really comfortable
3. What does the backend look like in their process?
Do they make you a timeline? Do they have a wedding day questionnaire? Are they prioritizing what you want over what they want?
4. Theyāre able to flow with your wedding day to make it the best day
Are they a team player with your vendor team?
5. Are they able to anticipate moments before they happen instead of just creating them?
The best moments on your wedding day arenāt staged, and a good photographer is ready to capture them when they happen

THIS is how you should feel on your wedding day seeing your days/months/years of planning make it to real life.
Taking a small moment by yourselves to see your space for the first time and really take it all in is such a special thing to do together.
Are you planning on doing a room reveal on your wedding day?
