“Debby’s photos were everything I hoped for—detailed, emotional, well-crafted, surprising, human—without being clichéd.”

“There was nothing generic about what she did or the images that she created. I cannot recommend her more highly—she is superlative.” 

“Debby’s professionalism really relaxed me. She was very calm and prepared.”

“Deborah walked us through every step of the planning process, and listened attentively to our needs.”

“At the event, she melts into the background gracefully and manages to expose those moments that seem impossible to catch. A couple of her photos have become some of my most cherished possessions.”

Questions and Answers

What drew you to this field/how did you get started? My approach to wedding photography is to focus on your story. The rawness of emotion. The gathering of friends and family that haven't seen each other in years. The excitement of starting a new family. Celebration—and the quiet moments that surround it. I am honored that people invite me to capture so many important moments in their lives. My wedding photography enables me the opportunity to explore new places, meet interesting people and create art from intimate moments, during one of the most important days of their life.

Why should someone hire you? You're fun, you're intelligent and you want the best. Photography is important to you, and you want to hire a professional with vision and experience. I consider myself a photojournalist—I love capturing life as it unfolds. When photographing your wedding, I approach your day as a story—with a beginning, middle and end—but also stay open-minded for those beautiful unexpected moments. When we take your portraits, I am happy to give some direction to help with poses that will make you comfortable and look your best.

What makes a wedding memorable for you? When a couple is authentically themselves. It doesn't matter how big or small, how casual or fancy, or whether there are many traditions or none at all. As long as the couple is being true to themselves, that is all that matters.
