Myrtle & Marjoram

ork I found truly beautiful and meaningful. We're almost at our one year anniversary, and as I was thinking about making a paper book of photos, I realized I had never left her the review she deserved!! Ingrid's photographs are stunning. They're not posed or cheesy, nor are they overly stylized in the Instagram filter way that's really popular right now. She has a style that's artistic, not purely documentary, but still completely natural. She has a knack for capturing photos where people look completely their beautiful selves. I think it comes from how she used to work exclusively in film, where you can't waste shots, and you have to always be alert for just the right moment because you only get one chance. Our wedding was a Hindu/Catholic fusion wedding that was pretty crazy -- multiple days of events, and we had two different ceremonies in one day, so we were constantly rushing from place to place and changing outfits, on a very tight timeline. That's a really difficult way for a photographer to work, but Ingrid was spot on -- she got amazing photographs incredibly efficiently, and she rolled with the punches and the craziness without ever seeming stressed or like she wasn't enjoying what she was doing. She herded our crazy big families into photos and was somehow in every place that she needed to be all at once! She was such a calming and funny presence in that day, and she made me and my husband feel really comfortable in front of the camera even though we're both awkward people. Truly, I could not have asked for a better photographer. I know that my wedding photographs will still be just as wonderful decades down the line, because true skill like Ingrid's is timeless! Ingrid doesn't spend as much time promoting herself as some other wedding photographers, but I think that's a good thing, because she truly does love creating art and making sure people have photographs to remember their wedding -- she's not doing it for the fame or wedding magazine features. You won't regret hiring her!
