ready to capture your story?
I want you to look back at your photos and be able to relive all your favorite wedding day moments. Every genuine moment, heartfelt embrace, and joyful tear. I deliver photos that aren't bound by the trends. Instead, they focus on classic compositions, a mix of trditional and candid posing, and natural rich tones that remain beautiful for decades to come.
If you love the final photos I deliver but don’t love the experience behind them, I haven’t done my job! I prioritize communication, connection, and clear expectations throughout the process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect each step of the way, freeing you up to focus on the most important moments of your big day instead of the logistics.

If you decide you would like to move forward with booking, I will send a contract for you to review and sign. Once the contract is signed and non-refundable retainer is paid, you are good to go!

Turnaround time for regular sessions is 2-3 weeks and wedding/elopements is 6-8 weeks. This time may vary depending on time of year or busy season. For weddings and elopements, a 50+ photo sneak peak is sent out within 72 hours.
What is the typical timeline for receiving our photos ?
Next question
As you probably know, each photographer has a specific editing style that is true to them. Because of this, I do not alter or change my editing style. I consider myself a true to color photographer, so if you are looking for light & airy or someone more moody, I can definitely provide recommendations of amazing photographers in those categories! You can absolutely send me any inspiration or specific posing that you like and provide a must-have shot list!
Can we request specific shots or styles for our photos ?
Next question
My favorite question- YES ABSOLUTELY!!! I find that I am happiest when I'm exploring different cities, states and countries. I am available worldwide and I would be honored to capture your love anywhere. Travel fees may vary depending on location, if I am driving or flying and costs of hotel accommodations and rentals in the area. When you inquire with your specific date and location, I can give you a more exact estimate. I do have a list of bucket-list locations to shoot at- and these locations do have discounted packages and travel fees.
Are you available for destination weddings, and how do you handle travel and accommodation?

99% of my couples are not comfortable in front of the camera - that's not only okay but it's normal! That's a huge part of the reason I build relationships with each of my clients to ensure I'm a friendly and comforting face on your wedding day. I'm here to help you relax, to have fun, & help you enjoy each moment.
We're not comfortable in front of a camera, will that affect our photos?
