My Approach
With a camera in hand, my instinct is loudest when I’m observing the quiet choreography of everyday life, like on a city street. The tension, beauty, and chance encounters pull me into the present like nothing else. I felt that same sense of presence the first time I photographed a wedding—and I knew I wanted to feel it again and again.
I photograph weddings in the tradition of street photography and cinema: unobtrusive, curious, and guided by light, composition, and color. I walk through a wedding like a traveler in a new city—attentive, responsive, open to the unexpected. My goal is to create a visual narrative that reflects not just what it looked like, but how it felt to be there.
Presence is everything. I want my clients to feel free to be fully in the moment with the people they love, in the place they chose, on a day that will never happen again. I offer direction when it’s needed, but I never direct the experience. A wedding day is like a river, you can swim against the current or float with it. I choose to float, and I invite you to do the same.
I work best with couples who value trust, honesty, and subtlety. The relationship between photographer and client is intimate. It requires vulnerability. That’s something I take seriously and hold with care.
I learned photography with film, and while I now use digital cameras alongside it, film remains central to how I see and shoot. It’s slower, more intentional, and grounded in instinct, the same instinct that brought me here in the first place.
Nancy is based in Virginia and available for weddings in the US and abroad.
