My desire is to capture genuine, joy-filled, timeless moments that take you right back to those very emotions you felt on your wedding day.

I always tell my couples that I'm not simply showing up to drop off a cake, I have the sweet opportunity to hang out with you & your people ALL day long on your wedding day!! That means it's SUPER important to me that we get to know each other and you feel like we're a perfect fit. This isn't *just* about photos - this is about capturing your most important moments & making you feel amazing while you're at it!

wedding photos that feel like you

Here's the thing

If you’re looking for a trendy photographer, it’s not me - because I care too much about the true emotion of your day. 

My images are joyful, warm, GOODNESS-FILLED, and authentic. My style is vibrant, emotive, full of light, with modern twist on timeless images. I do not focus on trends. Trends will go out of style, and it's important to me that your images never do. This is about telling your story, and it's my highest priority for me to honor you, your families, and the incredible people you've invited to be a part your day. I'm here to guide you through every step - after 10 years and hundreds of weddings, there's nothing I haven't seen and I am confident about documenting your happiest moments. I would be honored to be a part of your day!

I sit down with every single one of my couples and create a game plan for your coverage and timeline. We will talk through all the fun nitty gritty details!! A good rule of thumb is that if your wedding is all at one venue, 8 hours is perfect. For multiple venues with drive time, I recommend 10 hours of coverage. 

01. HOW DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH COVERAGE WE NEED FOR OUR WEDDING DAY?

I have an incredible line-up of second shooters that photograph weddings with me! As your wedding date gets closer, I can let you know specifically who they will be. 

02. WHO IS YOUR SECOND SHOOTER?

Engagement sessions are included in my traditional wedding collections. I've found that engagement sessions are essential to the experience as a whole! Not only does it allow us a chance to connect, but it also gives you the opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera. Oftentimes this is one of my favorite parts of the experience! 

03. ARE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS INCLUDED?

Listen, I get it! I'm a wedding photographer and can feel awkward in front of the camera!! You are so not alone, and almost all of my couples say this to me. I will help pose and guide you two through every step. My goal is for you to not only feel beautiful but feel like yourself! I promise that there is no possible way for you to mess this up - I've got you! 

04. WHat if we are awkward in front of the camera?

Heck yes, I absolutely love to travel! Let me know where your wedding will be located when you reach out, and we can chat about what travel costs would look like! Typically this will include a plane ticket (if necessary), rental car, and lodging. 

05. ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?

Your wedding photos will be ready to download, print & share within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day. But don't you worry - you will absolutely see sneak peeks before the full gallery releases, typically the day or two after your wedding. No way I'll have you waiting that long to see any photos! 

06. HOW SOON DO WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
