weddings
One day.
The accumulation of endless hours, dreams, thoughts, errands; it's all happening, in one day.
The memories of your wedding day should be preserved carefully and intentionally.
That's what I aim to do.
Through the jittery getting ready, the deep breaths as you walk up to your groom and tap him on the shoulder,
through the weighty ceremony vows, the precious reception speeches, the emotional dances, the silly grandpa moves,
I'm there. In it. Pausing it. Grabbing hold and making it last forever,
for you.

I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE I WANT OR NEED - HOW DO I FIGURE THAT OUT?
YES! This is my #1 question from couples. So a HUGE part of my role as your photographer is to help you plan your timeline! I go over all the details. Do you want a first look? Do you want a send off? Do you want to do family photos before or after the ceremony? Do you want a first look with your dad?
And I'm not joking when I say I'll plan your timeline FOR YOU. Tell me what you want, and I'll take care of it. I'll even set a time for your ceremony to make sure we get the best light possible!
Take that stress and throw it in the garbage can. We got this.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY?
This varies on the package and hourly coverage you request! But don't worry, I will go into massive detail explaining what all is included and what you might want to consider!
I will say across the board all coverage includes 80+ edited photos/hr and my full attention in planning your timeline and being available to you.

WHAT IS "THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER?"
There is a tendency to think all photographers are the same with just different editing styles. Nope.
I think a photographer is a whole environment. They create the room your photos are made in.
Whether that’s stiff and awkward, with cookie cutter poses, or thoughtful, intentional, and really getting to know you.
Photographers are not a one size shoe fits all sort of deal. They are each their own. And so much time, energy, passion, research, and care goes into everything we craft.
Instead of deciding off of budget, go off how they make you FEEL. It’s worth it every time. I promise!

WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
I think something that sets my style and work apart is how laid back yet how confident my approach is - I capture the moments as they happen. I don't force them! I don't hover and make you feel pressured and expect perfection. I solely expect you as you are. I will allow you and your significant other to share sacred moments over and over and really just capture it as it happens. With that being said, I will not let you just figure it out and feel lost throughout our time! I guide and gently direct, making sure you FEEL and LOOK beautiful and confident. I check in and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the day. I'm not going to put pressure, stress, or make you feel rushed. I want you to enjoy every single moment.
HOW MUCH DOES WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY COST?
I offer both hourly coverage and package options.
Hourly coverage starts at $350/hr + tax and packages start at $2000 + tax. Inquire to find out all the details about what's included in those options!

HOW DO I MAKE MY WEDDING PHOTOS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT THEM TO BE?
SUCH A GOOD QUESTION. I think finding contentment in your day and your love is the first step. This is YOUR wedding. No one else's. I want you to find the joy in being present and fully engaged with every detail. Being present with your lover and enjoying them wholeheartedly will form the most breathtaking photos - everyone will be able to tell how in love you are in the photos. The eye locking gazes, the soft kisses, the heartfelt giggles, the tear filled eyes, all of it will resemble how your heart really felt!
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE? AND WHEN?
I average 80 edited photos per hour of shooting. In the off season I deliver a gallery within 3-4 weeks. In peak wedding season (summers) it's about 6-8 weeks. I always send a sneak peek of 8-10 images within 48 hours!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CHANGE MY DATE BECAUSE OF COVID? DO I LOSE MY DEPOSIT?
I am fully aware of how complicated COVID has made weddings. It's the worst! I don't penalize people for having to change their date. There are no added fees for changing a date, the package/hourly price will stay the same - it should however be understood that your new date will have to be discussed with me. If I am already booked for your changed date, you may need to find another photographer or we can discuss an alternative date. If there is no new date the works for both of us, I will refund your deposit except for the $200 that is nonrefundable. (This $200 covers all the time we spend planning and talking, as well as the possibility that I will lose that date and not be able to fill it in time)
IS AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION INCLUDED IN WEDDING COVERAGE?
Engagement sessions are complimentary for any coverage that is 4 hours or more! If the session takes place further than 1 hour from me, there will be a small travel fee.
