The Heart Behind This Project
celebration of cultural diversity
All brides deserve beautiful images of themselves. Not doctored or overly-produced images, but true representations of who they are.
Through photographing brides from all differing cultures, religions, and regions, we can all learn a little more about each other.
Photography has long been a preserver of time and photographers time's keepers.
This is my contribution to the history of the individuals I photograph, their families, and to the art of photography.
historical preservation
“Art for art’s sake.”
Despite and perhaps even in spite of the fact that technology now allows us to create things with little-to-no effort, I believe it is worth the time and effort it takes to make something yourself.
All the better when you can make it with someone.
Ars gratia artis
For the Love of Photography
This project is currently entirely self-funded (studio rentals & traveling costs). There is no charge for brides to participate and they keep all final images for personal use.
If you would like to like partner with me to help continue this project, or are a bride who would like to be photographed, check out the next section on how to get in touch.
