I started photographing weddings in 2002 with two film cameras — one for color, one for black and white — without ever paying attention to wedding photography itself. Playing pedal steel guitar shapes how I see: layers, color, emotion, and the rhythm needed to capture the right moment. I’m currently shooting assignments for The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The New Yorker, and some of my wedding photographs have been exhibited in museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Portland Art Museum. I approach weddings the same way I approach editorial work: paying attention to the connections between family and friends, and the less obvious moments — the spaces in between the obvious .
