Elegant Storytelling Photojournalism
Written by Laura Segall for Fresh from the Kitchen LLC's blog

Some of my earliest memories are of my grandmother, Honey Bunny, hanging out at the photography portrait studio where she worked in Milwaukee. Honey Bunny was also the historian of the family. Whenever she would come and visit our family in Virginia she would work on creating chronological photo albums of me and my sisters. I feel that her role as family historian played a part in my own passion for capturing memories. I was also lucky that my parents always encouraged me to pursue my interest in photography. I was given my first camera when I was about 8- years-old and I have had a camera in my hand ever since.

I studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, where I earned a BFA and met my husband David Wallace, who is also a photojournalist. After graduating from college I traveled around the country working as a photojournalist for newspapers in Michigan, Maine, Maryland and Iowa, before moving to Arizona in 2006. Since settling in Phoenix I have built a freelance photojournalism and wedding business. My photography has appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek Magazine, USA Today, Shape Magazine, the Washington Post as well as countless national and international publications.

My experience as a photojournalist and love for photography is the perfect combination for great wedding photography. When documenting a wedding my goal is to give each couple a complete story told through pictures. I want the photographs to evoke a memory and sense of place. I do not have a formula when photographing a wedding or event. I capture life as it happens. It is important to me that the personality and unique beauty of the bride and groom shine through in the photographs.

I am available for weddings in Arizona and worldwide.

Marcia: The Art of Photography

With over 20 years in the industry, Marcia is a natural behind the lens. She discovered her “calling” into the photography world at age 23, but even as a toddler, she would paint and draw, always having a knack for the arts. Originally from California, Marcia started in fine art photography shooting landscape photos in beautiful Santa Barbara, California.

Due to Marcia’s talent and keen eye for beauty, she was quickly featured in several local art galleries. Unfortunate events occurred in the late 1980’s when a recession, much like the one of today, resulted in the closing of those galleries, and her unsold photos returned to her. At this time in Marcia’s life she had an epiphany; she realized that people purchase landscape photos if they’re drawn to their beauty and want them for their own. Photography of people however, are keepsakes of a lifetime. They capture memories and moments, and so much more. People would always want those sorts of photos because they’re personal. Thus, the transition into fine art photography of people occurred for her.

Marcia’s philosophy is that every couple should start their life with photos that capture the moments so dear to them. Experience is needed to do that, and Marcia has just that. She enjoys watching the moment unfold as she clicks with her camera. She feels it is necessary to make sure the people she is photographing are very comfortable with her and having their photo taken. Thus, she really gets to know her client before their big day, so that being in front of the camera isn’t scary, but rather it is like being with a friend!

Lighting is always important for a photographer to capture a lovely photo, so Marcia makes sure to use all means of available light to bring out a person’s best side. She believes her work should reflect a purity and honesty of whom the picture is reflecting. Thus, she tries to not manipulate the image by over photo-shopping. Her style is to think through creating the images as she thinks through the storyline. Marcia is truly a classic photographer with a modern edge.

Marcia always has fun shooting people’s events, and also much fun when shooting photos casually for her own benefit! Her most recent vacation included a visit to Taos Pueblo, New Mexico where she spent time getting to know the Pueblo Indians while photographing their surroundings.

Marcia is a “green” photographer meaning she does all that she can to reduce her carbon print on our precious earth! Marcia would very much love to shoot your next event and make it something spectacular for a lifetime!
