Heather Banks

My interest in photography started in college - I took my first photo course and I was hooked. I would spend hours and hours in the darkroom and I would immerse myself in the art. After college, I continued photography as a hobby, and friends who were getting married asked me if I would take some extra photos at their wedding because they knew I was a hobbyist.

"I knew all along when planning my wedding that I wanted to make the most investment in the photographer because photos are really the only thing from the wedding that lasts (besides the relationship, of course). Also, I come from a journalist background, so my expectations were high and I did not want a photographer that was going to make me pose the whole time. I believe that it's the photographer's job to capture the moments as they happen, not stage the moments. I could not have been happier with the decision.
