So, here’s the “Friendtographer” story:

Contrary to popular belief, I was not the one who originally came up with the moniker, it actually came up quite organically from of my brides. 

I was shooting a wedding in Maui a couple of years ago, including a few pre-wedding events leading up to the big day. The bride (shout out to Payton!) had been introducing me as her photographer, but after getting to know each other, that seemed far too formal. So she began introducing me simply as her friend. However, then no one realized that I was also her wedding photographer! So she combined the two and from that day forward, being a friendtographer was my thing. It was the perfect hybrid, and honestly how I’d felt all along about my ideal clients.

When I become a part of your wedding experience, you’re automatically adopted into my Friendtography Family. It’s that feeling of “wait, are you my photographer or are you my friend who’s taking my photos?” that makes the relationship with my clients so awesome. All of my Friendtography clients are more than clients. They are amazing people who I can see myself being friends with for a lifetime. Several of my closest friends, in fact, are people I never knew before that initial wedding inquiry and I’m incredibly thankful for each and every one of them. I love meeting new clients because it’s always a mystery who’ll be the next couple I find myself laughing with over beers and a game of Catch Phrase two years from now.
