Documentary Wedding Photographers Capturing Genuine Moments
I'm Kemper, a passionate photographer proud to call Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my home. Nestled in the heart of this vibrant city, I've been deeply influenced by the captivating blend of nature, art, and films that define the city’s culture. From the scenic landscapes to the artistic tapestry, my love for photography was formed by the inherent beauty surrounding me. Four years ago, I discovered my calling in the realm of wedding photography, starting as a second shooter and steadily evolving into the role of Lead Photographer and Videographer.
My journey is a testament to my commitment and dedication to the craft. What fuels my creative vision is the genuine desire to capture authentic moments on couples' wedding days, steering clear of artificial poses. I believe in the power of documentary-style photography to tell a unique and compelling story. With a keen eye for detail and an acute sensitivity to emotions, my goal is to create timeless visual narratives that reflect the true essence of each wedding celebration. As I pursue my dream of transcending the conventional and capturing the astonishing, I bring a profound level of passion and expertise to document your special day in a way that feels both authentic and extraordinary.
Our Philosophy
Breaking away from the usual, our approach to wedding photography isn't just about taking pictures—it's all about capturing the real vibe of the day. We’re all in for those authentic moments, steering clear of any staged scenes or anything that feels off. As documenters, our job is to grab the genuine essence of everything, from people and details to the big and small moments.
At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that a wedding is more than just a formal event; it's a mix of emotions, interactions, and shared experiences. We embrace imperfections as part of the story. As documentary wedding photographers, we take on the role of visual storytellers, committed to keeping the real essence of each moment. Life isn't perfectly scripted, and our photos are a celebration of the magic found in unplanned, spontaneous moments.
Kade Damboise
My name is Kade Damboise, and I am a native of Zolfo Springs, Florida. From my early years, I harbored a deep passion for the world of filmmaking, driven by my love for movies. This passion led me to delve into the realm of photography, where I honed my skills by capturing the essence of ranch life, the beauty of cattle, and the landscapes that define my home.
Following the completion of my high school education, I took a significant step towards realizing my dreams by enrolling in film school. It was there that I not only pursued my passion for film and photography but also forged a lasting friendship with my colleague, Kemper. Together, we further refined our photography skills, and for the first time, I felt empowered to craft narratives that were both memorable and authentic.
Fast forward nine years, and despite physical distances separating Kemper and I, our shared commitment and love for the art of photography remained strong. After years of dedicated craftsmanship and numerous collaborative brainstorming sessions, we decided to materialize our artistic visions, creating Traveler Photography.
I consider myself fortunate to not only collaborate with a close friend but also to apply my skills and craft in capturing your most cherished moments. Through Traveler Photography, we aspire to create timeless memories for you, your families, and generations to come. Your stories are not only images frozen in time but narratives that resonate with authenticity and meaning. It is our privilege to bring these moments to life and share them with the world.
