My Philosophy
How I approach my work
No two weddings are the same, and I firmly believe in capturing the distinct essence of each special day and each unique couple. My mission is to tell your unique love story through my lens. I commit myself to be your partner in crime in helping you cherish every instant of your extraordinary day. This might mean stepping back, creating a calm space for you to unwind, or infusing your photos with a vibrant spirit through engaging prompts and activities.
I'm so excited to show you just how beautiful and profoundly deep your love story is.
I work with you to craft your perfect day - gathering your must-have shot list, assisting with the timeline, and ensuring that every precious moment is captured with care.
Your memories safe and secure - I always have a backup camera on standby, and all images are stored on multiple hard drives for ultimate peace of mind.
Images will be in focus, ensuring that the key subject, be it a face, ring, pet, or venue, stands out with clarity.
My galleries are artfully edited with coherent, subtly enhanced colors, preserving the natural beauty of your moments.
I include all images in color and black & white in my final galleries.
Some details about my Unique Process
The details
Grab some wine (or drink of choice) and your favorite snacks and get cozy. I truly believe printed imagery is a unique and essential part of your wedding photography experience. Because let's face it, as much as we love swiping through our screens, nothing beats physical prints. You'll receive 4x6 prints of all of your film pictures, your film roll negatives, and your album if you decide on the Luxury package. Along with these physical prints, you'll also receive your digital frame.
07. you've got mail
I know you are going to be itching to see some of the images from your day! I have a few tricks of the trade to doing this, but I love sending out some perfect sneak peeks either the same day or the next morning so you are able to share the joy and beauty of your new marriage with loved ones as soon as possible.
06. sneak peeks
Slow down, take a deep breath, and just enjoy your day. Let me capture the raw emotions and natural beauty of your day, while effortlessly highlighting your unique connection and helping you both shine. You can rest easy knowing you're in good hands and can simply enjoy each moment.
05. The wedding
An engagement photoshoot is a chance to capture the excitement, joy, and connection between you and your soulmate. It's your time to get comfortable in front of the camera and celebrate the exciting time of being engaged. I'm always open to turning this into a memorable adventure! Whether it's a scenic hike, a pup-friendly excursion, or a visit to your special first-date spot, I'm all for making this experience a fun and unique reflection of your love.
04. Engagement session
Right after you book I'll be sending you my client guide! This will help me guide you through every step of your wedding planning journey. From searching for the perfect shooting spots near or at your venue to crafting a seamless timeline, I'll be by your side every step of the way. I love to pass along my phone number so you can text me with quick questions and my email inbox is always open.
03. plan the details
To officially secure your wedding date with me, you will need to sign a contract, which protects both of us. Then, make a $800 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot on my calendar. After the deposit and contract, you are officially on my books! No need to worry about paying for the entire package upfront - we can split up the remaining balance into manageable installments.
02. Secure your date
We'll have a free consultation meeting to get a sneak peek into our working dynamic and get to know me personally. During this session, we'll dive into your wedding dreams and discuss how we can bring your vision to life. Let's make magic happen!

Digital Picture Frames
I get it, all galleries of mine are 1000+ images, that's a lot. After capturing love for bunch of couples, I found that many had a hard time finding a way to best enjoy their wedding pictures. With so many, there's not really a way to print them all or post them all. With that, I've added a digital picture frame to every package. This way you can walk into your kitchen, bedroom, or wherever you place it and see bits and pieces from the whole day. I've found couples really enjoy this addition and I hope you do too!

Package Highlights
I love adding a unique touch to your wedding photography by bringing a roll or two of film with me! After finding my parents' old film camera, I have embraced this traditional medium to capture candid, in-the-moment moments of your big day. This adds an element of excitement as you never know how the pictures will turn out - adding to the nostalgic charm of film photos. If you're lucky, I might even drop off the roll of film for development on my way home from your wedding. I seriously could go on and on about why I love this format of photography so I highly recommend checking out my blog post below!

Engagement sessions are essential to start our journey of capturing your love story. These sessions, framed in a more relaxed and intimate environment, foster a deeper connection between you and me as your photographer. Spill all the deets about your funny stories and adventures together! The more I get to know you, the better I can capture images that truly reflect who you are together.
Worried about what to do in front of a camera? That's totally normal and don't worry - I have fun prompts to go through and a speaker I bring with to play some jams. These sessions are super helpful to become comfortable with a big 'ol camera lens pointing at you before your big wedding day.

Fine Art Albums Handcrafted to Last a Lifetime.
With my Luxury packages, I create one-of-a-kind wedding albums, handpicking images that showcase the moments that make your day uniquely yours. I've always felt that seeing images printed offers a different level of intimacy and experience compared to digital images. Throughout the editing process I will pick out some of your favorite moments of the day and curate your unique wedding album to be mailed to you.
