Wedding photographer: Linda Wan

For my brother's wedding they are going with Linda Wan as a photographer. She specializes in black and white documentary style photos. She is interested in capturing moments. Months before she shoots a wedding she meets with the couple in order to get a sense of their energy, or vibe. So, she will invite the couple to dinner or spend time with them over coffee. Apparently this is how you find a couple’s vibe.

At first I laughed when my brother explained these details because if anyone wanted to get a sense of my brother, Will, they might as well switch the conversation to sports and meet at the greasiest burger joint in town. Or, bring along a Rubick’s Cube and ask him to go over every single possible move in full, glorified detail. He will do this with much glee and even resort to drawing out every step in the process.

However, the more I thought about it the more it made sense that a photographer would invest time in knowing the couple prior to shooting their wedding. Linda Wan’s portfolio is beautiful. It will be exciting to see the end product.
