About
The photographer

I don't take photos. I collect moments.

I want your photos to make your grandchildren cry.
Elara Voss

I've been photographing weddings for eleven years. I still cry at almost all of them.

Not because I'm sentimental — though I am — but because I've spent a decade standing at the edge of the most important moments in people's lives, and I still can't believe I get to be there.

I'm based in Denver, Colorado. I shoot worldwide. I work alone, because I think weddings deserve a quiet presence, not a production crew. And I work with a very small number of couples each year, because every wedding I photograph gets everything I have.

My style is editorial and documentary in equal measure. I'll pose you when you need posing and disappear when you don't. I'll catch the moment you didn't know was happening and I'll make the posed portraits feel like they weren't.

How I work

Three things I believe in.

I
Light is everything
I schedule my day around the light. I'll ask to move your first look if the light is wrong. I'll wait 20 minutes for a cloud to pass. Light doesn't negotiate — so neither do I.
II
Quiet presence
I work alone. No second shooter, no assistant, no entourage. The best moments happen when people forget I'm there. That requires being small, quiet, and patient.
III
Fewer, better
I photograph 20 weddings per year. That's a choice. It means every couple gets my full attention, not a fraction of it. It means I'm never tired, never rushed, never distracted.
