About

Thanks for your interest in my photography work! I’ve had a passion for photography ever since I was a kid. I’ve also always enjoyed travelling, which is what really grew my love for photography. As I grew up, I recognized that capturing MOMENTS can be more important than locations! Since I’ve become a father of 4 I’ve learned more & more that this is true & have made it my goal to capture people’s moments in the best way possible so they can relive them for years to come. Wedding days are always filled with so many great moments and I absolutely love getting the honor to capture them so that you can enjoy those memories! I'd love to meet you and talk about your wedding day!

AMAZING from start to finish!!

Alan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He is reliable, responsive, creative, personable, professional, extremely talented, and a true pleasure to work with. He understood what we wanted for our wedding photos and delivered beyond expectation! He kept us on track, ensuring we got every shot we wanted (and more) without ever making us feel rushed, and I truly appreciate the fun and stress-free atmosphere he created.

Not only was Alan a pleasure to have around on our wedding day, but the pictures exceeded our expectations! His attention to detail and artistic vision are phenomenal. He captured the most beautiful moments perfectly, creating timeless memories of our special day that we will cherish forever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alan with Lighter Focus Photography to anyone seeking extraordinary photographs and an unforgettable experience!

Lighter Focus Photography - A Wedding Day MVP

Before I share my experience with Lighter Focus Photography, it's important to understand just how significant photography was to me throughout the entire journey from engagement to wedding day. I've always had a deep appreciation for how a photograph can encapsulate a moment, and that's why, for me, choosing the right photographer was non-negotiable.

I embarked on an exhaustive search for the perfect photographer. I even considered professionals from out of state before I stumbled upon Lighter Focus Photography. What caught my attention immediately was the consistent stream of 5-star reviews from their clients. With my shortlist narrowed down to three photographers, I began reaching out to those who had experienced their artistry firsthand.

My first interaction with Alan, the creative genius behind Lighter Focus Photography, occurred during our engagement session. Prior to this, we had exchanged numerous emails and spoken over the phone. Alan's preparation was evident from the start. He asked all the right questions, ensuring he understood our vision and any special requests. His recommendations on what to bring and what not to bring were invaluable. Even though the location we selected for our engagement photos was unfamiliar to him, Alan's innovative ideas transformed it into the perfect backdrop, yielding my all-time favorite shots.

Alan's approachable and accommodating nature made working with him a breeze. His sense of humor added an element of fun to every interaction. Beyond his talents as a photographer, he's simply an awesome person to have by your side on your wedding day. When unexpected hiccups occurred, Alan was quick on his feet with a plethora of solutions. During our bridal party photos, disaster struck as the strap of my dress snapped. Before I could even process what had happened, Alan had dashed to his bag, retrieved a mini sewing kit, and expertly mended my strap, seamlessly saving the day.

Some may have perceived him as 'demanding' at times, but we understood that his drive was fueled by his determination to capture the best moments efficiently. This allowed my groom and me to return to the reception and savor our wedding day to the fullest.

In summary, Lighter Focus Photography not only met but exceeded my lofty expectations. Alan's dedication to his craft, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to making our special day truly memorable are qualities that make him not just an incredible photographer but a cherished part of our wedding story.

You won’t be disappointed!

Alan and his team captured our day perfectly and exceeded every expectation we had. Going in, photos for us were top priority as you only get one chance to get it right— and Alan got it RIGHT. From our initial meeting to the end of our big day, we had nothing but a great experience. He listened to what our vision was, did that— and then more. He and his team have an eye for detail and a knack for efficiency. The whole day, Tom and I truly felt that we were in good hands. As a bride, taking that worry and stress away is paramount. Not only was the final product great, but the way he and his team interacted with us, our friends, and our families throughout the day was nothing short of perfect. After seeing the final product, I could not choose a photo that I was disappointed in. Our hardest job now is picking our favorites— pretty good problem to have!

These brothers both take some of the most magical photographs that I have seen!! It seems like every time they do a wedding they pull a new trick out of their hat. The photographs can speak for themselves, but I would love to add that Alan & Josh are both fun, professional, and absolutely wonderful to work with.

There's nothing quite like a genuinely funny pair of photographers to make your wedding day all that much better. Lighter Focus, dear reader, is that pair of photographers. A total blast to work with and extremely talented. I simply cannot recommend them enough.
