Wisdom-Watson Weddings

I call my style fine-art photojournalism to designate how it fits a journalistic approach and how it differs. Like true photojournalism, it emphasizes documentary storytelling. But it also involves more artistic elements. Among these is the art of posing couples in a way that's relaxed and natural rather than awkward. Even in moments that are orchestrated, I want real relationships to shine. Similarly, in post-production, I aim for a natural edit that leans toward light-and-airy but doesn't stray from showcasing the details of a wedding day as they actually were.

I am always the lead photographer, and my husband, Seth, is the second shooter for a majority of my weddings. I also have another photographer, Katie, who adds depth to our team.

I began my photography business in 2011 and built it on a part-time basis for several years, while still working full-time for a media company. The transition to full-time and the specialization in weddings came in 2015, and my wedding count as of the end of 2020 was 129.

I offer several standard collections that all include two photographers, edited images with a release, a complementary engagement session and a choice of one other "extra" at no additional cost. One of those free add-on options is videography, and it's what a vast majority of my clients choose. My mid-range package offering eight hours of coverage and all the above-mentioned details is the one I book most frequently.

I deliver all collections by direct download, generally no later than one month after a wedding. Clients also receive an extensive blog preview and access to high-res copies of their preview images within a week of their wedding.
