The camera sees what we ask it to see
in search of truth

The story begins beneath the surface.
What we see is always filtered through expectation, memory, and desire. Two people can stand in the same room and experience something entirely different. That’s the point. Our work begins there.
We don't believe truth lives on the surface alone. We pay attention to the inner world first, trusting that when something feels honest from the inside, the image will follow.
intentional and refined
01 / 03
Every decision is made with care. Where we stand. When we intervene. When we disappear. The intention is never to shape the experience, but to stay responsive to it as it unfolds.
We’re watching for shifts in energy. To remain present without being disruptive. Often those shifts are felt before they’re visible. That's how we build a portal back. So years from now, one glance pulls you inside.
SUBTLE BY DESIGN
and natural direction
02 / 03
We guide when guidance brings ease. Clear direction can help people settle into their bodies and out of their heads. Too much direction does the opposite. We’re attentive to that dance, and adjust constantly throughout the day.
Our prompts are physical and relational, not performative. When people feel comfortable, they stop monitoring themselves. That’s when something honest surfaces.
mindful guidance
It’s about discernment
03 / 03
Taste, to us, is not about style. It’s about discernment. Knowing when something is true, because it feels settled rather than performed. Knowing when to step closer, and when to leave space.
This kind of judgment doesn’t come from technique alone. It comes from paying attention long enough to know when something feels right.
TASTE AND RESTRAINT
how did it feel?
We're always asking:
I have worked with a lot of photographers in my life but never a wedding photographer. I thought that they might just "go through the motions" of getting the required shots. But it really felt like For The Love of It was inspired to take great photos on the day and really cared.
– Daria + Blake
I approach each moment as a translator, attuned to what’s unfolding, grounded in how it feels, and choosing my tools accordingly.
Lighting, lenses, distance, interaction, film or digital. Each choice is made with care, guided by the emotional nuance of what's happening.
Sometimes that means stepping in to offer quiet direction. Other times, it means holding still and letting thngs unfold untouched.
The result is imagery that reflects the true shape of the day. Not just how it looked, but how it moved. How it felt.
