Let’s face it, choosing your photographer is hard. You want someone professional but also someone you can feel comfortable with. Like really really comfortable…because it’s scary being in front of the camera, am I right?! What you need is a friend that knows your angles and has mad creative skills. Chemistry between us is what leads to authentic and creative photographs. Just like any relationship, it’s a two way street! I refuse to be just another vendor on the checklist. If you’re looking for someone to just show up and shoot, I might not be your gal. We won’t be counting to three and saying ‘cheeeseee’ because you can hire anyone for that! By the time your wedding rolls around, we should be friends. I’ll know which side of your face you like better, your family drama and how to get your hubby to laugh authentically. We will be gushing over your wedding dress choice & texting about your linen color. I want us both to be dancing in our living rooms stoked about working together.
It’s not just about how your photos look, but about how your day feels. The photos are about the story, the story isn’t about the photos. My approach to weddings is balance and efficiency. I know when to be a fly on the wall capturing candid moments, but also when to be assertive and honest so that you’re getting the most out of this experience! You can focus on your ragin’ celebration and i’ll make sure I snap you at your best. My main priority is to capture the essence of what i’m documenting while adding a flare of art direction in a non cheesy way. Your wedding gallery will be a balance of details, environment, candids, and magazine worthy portraits. I pride myself on working efficiently so that I can get you back to your party!
My ideal clients are fashion forward couples who aren’t afraid to ditch the traditional nonsense and opt for bold rituals that represent them. They tend to throw caution into the wind and are always down to ‘do it for the gram’. Connecting and communicating with me openly is a priority to them. They make room for friendship with me so that I can properly represent them individually and as a couple.

Fill out the availability inquiry form on my contact page, Be sure to add as many details about your wedding as possible, this allows me to quote you more efficiently. I take commissions on a first-come, first-served basis and never book 2 weddings within 48 hours of one another. This allows me to be available for my brides the day before as well as the day after to provide them with the best-personalized photography experience. I require a 50% deposit and a signed contract in order to book your wedding.
Yes! I mostly photograph destination weddings. Lets talk about how this works during our consultation together!
To ensure all of my couples get an individually priced wedding quotation, I suggest contacting me with general details about your wedding day. Your wedding is unique and your wedding quotation should be as well. Upon quoting you I take into consideration, time spent on the day, location, date, and individual needs.
Yes! I have an elopement packages starting at $2,000. Fill out my inquiry form on my contact page and give me the details on your intimate ceremony.
About 8-12 weeks. Delivery time varies depending on what month you get married and how many weddings I have booked. I take pride in carefully selecting and editing each and every photo to make you look your best. Usually you receive your photos after being married for 3-4 months.
The amount of photos varies depending on the session and amount of hours. You can expect around 50-100 photos every hour during a wedding day. Usually for 2 hour sessions I deliver around 80-180 photos.
Absolutely, I request that each couple reserve about 20 mins after or before their ceremony for traditional family portraits. Upon signing the contract I will ask for an immediate family and bridal party list. This helps me prepare for setting up the bridal party and family photos in an efficient and timely manner.
Please feed me! It is standard that photographers get fed during the reception. We like to eat at the same time as the Bride & Groom. This ensures we don’t miss any speeches and we get a 20 min break.
The remaining 50% is due 2 weeks before your wedding date.
I offer military and returning customers discounts. Contact me if you’re interested!
After handing over my clients their photos I back them up for only 10 days. It’s very important that you back up your files once I give them to you.
