My approach is relaxed, fun, and people-first. I’ll guide you when you need it, but mostly I’m there to capture the real, in-between moments — the happy tears, the wild dance moves, and everything in between.

  • I require a $500 non-refundable retainer to hold your date. Along with a contract that reflects the package you selected and any details we discussed during our consultation call. The remainder of the payment is due 3 weeks before your wedding date.

  • Yes! Engagement sessions allow us to get to know each other better while giving you the opportunity to get used to my prompts and poses that will also be used on the wedding day.

  • Yes! I’ve photographed destination weddings and am more than happy to create a custom wedding collection to suit your travel needs.

  • I have a second shooter with me for my 8 and 10 hour days and all destination weddings. This allows us to work together to optimize your timeline and meet the needs of the couple throughout the day.

  • Yes! Upon receiving your images, you will also get a full print release. With my eight and ten hour packages you will also receive a personalized USB.

  • The first step is to hop on a call together! I love taking a little time to chat about your wedding vision, hear your story, and make sure we’re a great fit. It’s important to me that we vibe — after all, I’ll be with you through one of the biggest days of your life!

    During our call, we’ll talk through your ideas, your priorities, and what matters most to you. I’ll also make sure I’m the right person to bring your vision to life. From there, if everything feels like a match, we can get your date officially booked and start planning the fun stuff!

    Ready? Let's chat!
  • We will have three main touch points with open communication in between. First touchpoint will be our initial call to go over details and vision for your day. The second touch point will be based on customizing your wedding day timeline. Our third touchpoint will be finalization of timeline and confirming details for the
    wedding day.

  • I’d say it’s the combination of experience, adaptability, and heart that I bring to every wedding day. Over the years, I’ve photographed just about every kind of celebration — from cozy indoor ceremonies in the middle of winter to big outdoor summer weddings and everything in between. I’ve worked with all kinds of couples and personalities, and I’ve learned how to make each one feel comfortable, seen, and totally at ease in front of the camera. I’m also big on organization — so while I’m capturing all the beautiful, candid moments, I’m also keeping the timeline running smoothly and making sure you stay the focus of the day (because that’s exactly how it should be!). My goal is to create an experience that feels effortless, genuine, and joy-filled from start to finish.
