You're engaged!
You want your day to feel like you, and you want a photographer who can capture it the way you envisioned. Well, you've come to the right place. I'm here to support you and create the imagery you've been dreaming of! Not to be dramatic or anything, but this is my jam.
POP THE
Do you see your friends and family laughing, embracing, and shedding tears of joy for you? Do you picture the love in your future spouse's eyes as you exchange your vows? The cheers and celebrations as you share your first wedded kiss and first dance?
From the grand moments of celebration to the in-between moments of love and joy, you can bet that I'll be right there to capture them just as they are. My clients are more than just clients to me - they're my BFFs for the day, and it's my aim to serve them however they need.
The last thing you want on your big day is to stress about the little things. That's why I make it my priority to check in on you, and help out in any way I can beyond being your photographer/videographer.
You can fully soak up the details of your day trusting that I'll be there to capture everything - from the big moments to the in-between details.
Leading up to your day, I'll make it my priority to understand your requirements and vision for your day. Why? So I can serve as your advocate and anticipate your needs.

Personal connection and meaningful service.
I'm not someone who just shows up to photograph your wedding day. I'm here to learn your story and how best to tell it.
I believe in serving you beyond your wedding day. As soon as you book your wedding, you'll be sent an almost 100-page wedding guide including tips for planning your engagement session, choosing aesthetic details for your day, and guidance for planning and constructing a timeline for your day.
You'll receive all the photos with the exception of duplicates, test photos, and mistake images (i.e. photos where the subject is blinking). Unlike most photographers, I don't place a cap on the number of images you receive. As an estimate, however, you can expect approximately 100 photos per hour of coverage. All images will be edited and consistent with what you see on my website and blog.
Yes, I do! you will receive a guide full of outfit tips and suggestions.
Great question! I can help you figure that out on our consultation call/meeting. there are a few things that factor into this like ceremony start time, first looks, guest size, traveling between venues, and other things that may be important to you.
Most of my wedding packages include a second shooter. Having a second shooter present ensures that you will have photos taken from different angles, and plenty of options to choose from when you receive your final gallery! Whether it's my husband (who, frankly, is pretty epic behind the camera) or a trusted local photographer with whom I've worked with previously, you'll never have to worry about your photography needs not being met.
The first step is to fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page! Once I've confirmed that your date is available in my calendar, we'll schedule a meetup (virtual or in-person, depending on your preferences and where you're located) where I'll get to know you and your fiance. We'll discuss your vision, what you're looking for in a photographer, and what it will look like to work with me. I'll walk you through my photography process, from the resources I provide you to the delivery of your gallery, and finally, help you select the perfect package to suit your needs. If (or should I say "when") you decide you'd like to move forward in working together, then comes the fun part! We'll get a contract signed, then celebrate!
Upon booking, you will put down a $600 retainer which will hold your spot on my calendar. You'll still have the flexibility to upgrade your package after doing so. Prior to your wedding day, you'll be required to pay the remainder of your invoice.
About 75% of my couples warn me that they're "awkward" prior to getting in front of my camera. When you look at my portfolio, do you see any awkward photos? Nope. I promise to guide you as much or as little as you need in order to feel comfortable during our time together. This is also a big part of why I include an engagement session in all of my packages. That way, you get to know me and experience how I shoot and handle posing. All to make your wedding day photos feel natural, stress-free and easy!
Yes, consider a weekday, wedding in the winter, or less than 3 months out. Contact me and i'll can see what we can do.
I also offer a discount to military, law enforcement, and first responders. thank you for your service!
Of course! I have a handful of my more recent work available here. :)
