Did you know that I used to be a wedding photographer? That’s right, homie! Before I founded Social Curator, I was voted one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world and one of the most socially influential photographers in the world. Although I am no longer shooting weddings, I’ll always be a photographer […]

Recently I was invited to speak at United: a fabulous conference in Phoenix, AZ for professional photographers by ShowIt. This conference is very special to me because my roots are in photography. I was a photographer first, before I was an Instagram strategist and owner of Social Curator. And I will always be a photographer […]

For the past decade, I’ve been blessed to work with amazing creative teams to create and document unforgettable weddings.  Over the years I’ve been published in national magazines (The Knot, Town&Country, Inside Weddings, Destination I Do, Ceremony, Brides, to name a few) and the most recognized wedding blogs in the world (the likes of Martha […]

Today I’ll be sharing what lenses I use during distinct portions of a wedding day (preparation, reception, ceremony, etc). I’ll be walking through the process in which my mind works (minus the thoughts of glitter, temptations to dance, and the constant desire for dessert) in relation to what I’m carrying with me.

Then there’s JD. Who hates lists with equal proportion to root canals. I keep everything in this safe, he says as […]

Dear Jasmine A couple hired me on a budget, so I’m working with what I have and don’t have a lot of financial room to rent. Basically, the venue is beautiful. Lots of garden. Lots of exposed brick and antique mirrors – it’s great. The ceremony is outdoors and the wedding planners are firm on […]

A few weeks ago, I was asked a simple question: If you had $500 to invest in your business, how would you spend it? (Assuming I had all the photography equipment I needed.) I sat for a few minutes and ruminated because on the surface it was a basic question, but on a deeper level […]

A few days ago, I chatted with one of my dearest photographer friends. In the midst of talking about basketball, books, and writing, we started talking about gear. And if someone heard our conversation, it’d probably sound like two guys wearing oily t-shirts, with a pack of cigarettes tucked in a rolled up sleeve, talking […]
