I understand that countless hours are invested to ensure that your wedding is a reflection of your vision. I also knows that when the big day comes it ends up flying by! So, as your photographer, I make sure that I see EVERYTHING. I am a bundle of BOUNDLESS energy and I'm always moving as I search for the real facial expressions and I listen for laughter. I anticipate exactly where I need to be to get the shot, and I do it all without being intrusive.
I draw from many sources for my photographic inspiration. I love the raw emotion of photojournalism as well as the seductive, mysterious look of fashion photography. By fusing the two, along with my close relationship to this thing called "light" I come up with a style that's called "fashion photojournalism.” I believe in romantic lighting and incredible backgrounds to complete a scene, so I always choose my locations carefully when given the opportunity to choose. I never interrupt a moment or pose situations that are already magical on their own. One of my main goals is to NEVER stress out the bride and groom, so I keep everything fast, professional, fun, and relaxed.
I picked up my first camera at the age of 6. I didn't care what the photos looked like at first, just how much fun it was to take them. As I grew up my tastes became more refined and I developed a passion for manipulating light. Millions of photos later, I still use alternative, innovative, sometimes quirky methods and I enjoy experimenting in the moment to create unique, one-of-a-kind images.
Before your wedding day, chances are that I've ran anywhere between 14 and 20 miles. As an avid marathon runner, one of my favorite things in the world is to watch the sun rise over the ocean alongside my girlfriend and running partner, Trish.
Courtney - What room in the museum did you have you ceremony?
Bill - Hi Courtney, this ceremony was in the main Atrium of the Contemporary Arts Center. Many people do Rodriguez Pavilion for ceremonies but if the guest count is fairly high the Atrium is a better option. Then cocktails can be done either outside or in Rodriguez Pavilion and the Atrium can be rolled over by the staff for the reception.
