More about Jerry R....
What do you love about your job?
I love helping my clients feel, capture and share what matters most! Although I've been hired over 1400+ times, no two shoots are the same for me, because people experience moments differently. This is one of the things that I truly love about my job, because this belief makes every day an adventure and a fun challenge for me! Connecting with my clients, figuring out what's important to them about their moments, and then making sure I capture those feelings in their images... that's what makes it all worthwhile for me as a photographer!
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Surprise proposals and engagements are some of my favorite types of shoots, because I get to help my clients plan their session to get the best possible photo! For surprise proposals, I always like to bring along a 'model', so that I just look like a professional photographer on a shoot, and in no way distract or give away the fact that a huge moment is coming! I coordinate in advance with whomever is going to propose, so we have a 'secret signal' that tells me to get in place and ready my camera to capture the big moment! And best of all, I get to be to be the first to congratulate the new couple, and take their first professional engagement photos for their save-the-dates!
