The Experience

We may be a great fit if you value images that look natural, not stuffy. Photos that capture how your day felt, not just how it looked. And most importantly, you want to actually have fun (yes, you can include your pup in portraits!)

what you can expect

Stress-Free Planning: I provide meticulous organization so that when your day arrives, you’re able to stay present and have a blast.
Authentic Moments: A mix of elegant, classic portraits and genuine candid photos
Clear Guidance: I’ll give you prompts and poses to bring out your personality. Couples often tell me they’re worried about feeling “awkward” or “camera-shy,” but my goal is to help you feel comfortable & confident!
True-to-Life Editing: Vibrant, timeless editing that keeps your photos looking fresh for decades

The Wedding Photography Process

1. Let's Chat

After you inquire via the contact form, the next step is a brief call. Let’s grab a virtual coffee to learn about your wedding vision.

After our call, I’ll send you customized options that perfectly fit your priorities.

2. Make It Official

We’ve finalized a photography collection perfect for you! A signed contract and paid retainer reserves your date.

I’m happy to share recommendations for other fantastic vendors, if you’re still building your vendor team.

3. Engagement Session

I value the connection I build with my clients. If you choose to have an engagement session, it’s a great way to connect before the wedding day. Plus it’ll boost your confidence in front of the camera.

Feel at ease in a low-pressure environment, and together we’ll create images that represent your personalities.

These photos can be used for your save-the-dates or wedding decor!

4. Timeline Magic

Several months before your wedding, I’ll send you a short questionnaire. I’ll then curate a photography timeline, perfectly tailored to your day. This ensures I’ll capture all the moments that matter to you the most, while also keeping your day flowing smoothly.

5. Your Wedding Day

Pop the champagne–it’s time to celebrate!

I’ll arrive at the venue early to scout out the best photo locations.

Your favorite people are in one place, gathering to honor your love story.

As I document your day, your only job is to be present and take it all in.

6. Delivery & Design

Within 4-6 weeks of your wedding, you’ll receive your full gallery of digital photos. It’s simple to order prints and share the gallery link with your family & friends.

I offer heirloom albums as a gorgeous keepsake for your coffee table. Each album is custom-designed, showcasing the highlights from your wedding. Made from premium materials, an album is the perfect way to preserve your day.
