ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER:

Robin Shotola Fuchs began documenting weddings in 1997, while working as a staff photographer for a Connecticut newspaper. Her eye for unique camera angles and her candid style of photography was popular with readers, and one day she received a call in the newsroom from a bride who had seen her pictures in the paper. She loved Robin’s photos and asked if she would photograph her wedding. Although not completely sure what she was getting into, Robin agreed to shoot the wedding. And she’s glad she did because no career has been as fulfilling as documenting one of the most important days of a couple’s life.

Robin knows first-hand how stressful and overwhelming it can be to plan a wedding. Though she has been photographing weddings for almost 10 years, it wasn't until she actually planned her own wedding that she truly understood what her clients experience. Now she’s even more empathetic to their stresses.

More than anything, she wants brides and grooms to feel at ease in front of the camera. Very camera-shy herself, she tries to make her clients forget she’s even there. Plus, she gets her best photos when people don't know they're being photographed.

Robin's photographs have appeared in The Washington Post, TIME Digital, Woman's World Magazine and others. She has won several regional awards for her photography including Photographer of the Year for both the New Hampshire Press Photographers Association and also the New England region of the National Press Photographers Association.
