WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
I think of wedding photography as little building blocks to a beautiful storybook. The vivid emotions of joy and tears, lost in a moment of happiness, the cheerful atmosphere of seeing your loved ones happy, and the natural smiles and expressions of people as the bride takes their breath away. You can feel comfortable and relaxed placing your trust in me to capture memorable moments you will cherish with your family and friends for years to come.
I work closely with couples throughout the entire day; I don’t like being an outsider. I love being a part of the wedding, capturing true smiles, natural expressions, and sincere emotions. My intention with every wedding is to create sincere and natural photos. I strive to make everyone comfortable, including the family and guests, and I wait for the right moments to capture those true-to-life emotions.
These moments will help you build the foundation of your storybook. My goal is to create your unique storybook that will bring you right back to your special day.
A book that will evoke moments of happiness and excitement for generations to come. It will bring the family together and remind you of those special little moments during your wedding day.
PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT AND HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY
Portrait of James Sweeney
I offer a unique and personal photography experience to capture the best image of you. With the online world becoming such a busy place, it's hard to stand out and get noticed among thousands of other candidates. The small thumbnail of you on Facebook or LinkedIn, whether it's from a night out or a wedding, simply does not represent the best version of yourself and fails to present a favourable image to potential future employers or clients.
My portrait service is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each session is tailored to my clients' specific desires and expectations. We discuss essential details such as the time, date, and purpose of the photo shoot, as well as where the photos will be used. Moreover, we delve into crucial elements like background styling and the mood they wish to convey, to ensure it aligns with the image they want to project to the public.
Majority of my portrait session are call outs to a location of client’s choice with a visit to my home-based studio as an option.
Normally, the sessions last for 60 minutes, although more time may be required for outfit changes, hair adjustments, or makeup touch-ups. I never rush my photo sessions. Instead, I strive to create a relaxed and comfortable environment, where I take the time to get to know my subjects. Building a connection is essential in order to capture the most authentic and natural expressions in your photos. I empathize with how nerve-wracking it can be to pose in front of a stranger with a camera pointed at you. I will never pressure you into creating an image that doesn't reflect your true self and will occasionally provide guidance to capture the best angles.
At the end of the sessions, we usually select your favorite images from the session to edit and deliver to the customer within the agreed time frame. If we are running short on time, the photos can be reviewed online at a more convenient time and delivered via email or a private online folder.
