He brings every part of that craft to a wedding: the patience of an editorial shoot, the speed of a commercial set, the eye of a magazine page.
He does not pose your guests like extras. He frames a wedding the way a feature article is written: people, light, sequence, and the small moments that hold the whole story together.
