The Experience
DOCUMENTING THE Beauty YOU'VE Already Created.
artfully storytelling together
...CAPTURING MOMENTS THAT FEEL ONCE IN A LIFETIME.
I can’t promise you a day where everything goes perfectly as planned. I can’t promise you perfect weather or that every hair will be perfectly in place. I can't promise you "perfection." But if you’re here because this relationship is the most important relationship in the entire world, and all you want is for it to be documented with the same love and intentionality that you've poured into it— I can promise you I’ll do that wholeheartedly, empathetically, and as intentionally as if it were my own. When you invite me into your life, it allows me to find beauty in things you've already created and nurtured together. I’ll encourage you to take that extra minute of alone time with the person that matters most. To steal a hug from that friend who lives a thousand miles away. To lean into the beautiful things unfolding in front of you, despite the things not going as planned. I'll seek out the little storylines taking place around you that maybe you didn't even notice. The union of two lives becoming one. Whether it's grandpa teasing his grandkids, your childhood friends hitting it off with friends from your adulthood, mom holding back tears during your first dance because you picked her parents' wedding song, the aunt who practically raised you kissing your cheek the way she always has, or that quiet moment where it sinks in, "We're husband and wife." ...I can promise you my priority will always be to document connection over superficial. You over decor. You over timelines and expectations to perform. You over perfection. You over everything.
IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO Create IN A meaningful WAY WITH YOU...
CREATING
UNCONFINED
HONEST, LIVED-IN, & feels like home
My artistic choices in shooting and editing aren't confined to one specific style, because every couple's story is different. They're made to feel lived-in. To feel like home. To reflect your story, who you are, and how everything in this time honestly felt. My intent will always be to document and preserve these moments for you in their most honest, authentic form.
One of the most important parts of choosing someone to document your story is being completely in love with the way they tell stories. This means being in love with everything from how they choose to capture these intimate moments to being equally in love with how they choose to evoke beauty and emotion with the art of their editing style. You deserve someone whose storytelling and artful choices connect with you.
The Art of Connection
I’m a laid-back, go-with-the-flow kinda girl. Both in personality and the way I create. I thrive in environments with couples who value the expression of love above all else. I would love nothing more than to be there to capture it all. So, I want to be transparent about creating an environment that we'll thrive in together. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood. Having like-minded personalities and intentions is so important in making sure we'll complement each other during this experience.

STORYTELLING TOGETHER
we MIGHT NOT be compatible if:
You have a specific plan in mind and would get overwhelmed by change or spontaneity.
You prefer posed over candid.
You have a very particular expectation of how you want your wedding day to go or photos to look and wouldn't be comfortable straying from it.
You'd prefer to take the creative lead and wouldn't be comfortable trusting me with full creative freedom.
we might be compatible if:
You value your genuine, love-seeped moments together over the wedding day details and everything looking/being a certain way.
You're flexible, easy-going, and thrive in spontaneity.
You want your wedding day to feel true to you, openhearted, candid, unhurried, and present minded.
You want your wedding photos to authentically reflect you and the day as it was + how it felt, rather than be "perfect".

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
01/14
Unless traveling, Monday - Thursday between 11am - 4pm. I really value having a healthy work/life balance. When I don't have a shoot or weddings I do my best to make my weekends a time of rest & to be present with loved ones!

I'll create a custom proposal for you with a breakdown of everything you need to know as far as package, contract, payment schedule, etc. At the time of signing, I require 30% to hold your date and the remaining 70% is due one month before your wedding day.
02 | HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?
03/14
Final photo galleries can take up to 6 - 12 weeks.
A lot goes into a post wedding workflow that most people don't know about. There's a misconception that editing is as simple as using an instagram filter. Man, I wish! I promise you, it's so much more than that. Most often, I have multiple weddings & shoots to edit at a time. So, to keep things fair to my clients— I do my best to edit them in the order I shot them. Good things take time. You deserve my best. And that time is so important for me to give it to you.
03 | WHAT'S YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
04/14
I've found that because every wedding day is unique to its couple, They always play out so vastly different. For this reason, I like to set as realistic expectations with my couples as I can BY GIVING A "MINIMUM" RATHER THAN a "maximum average" of photographs delivered..I can assure you— I don't leave out any photos I think you'd love or would be MEANINGFUL to you! You deserve each special moment! However, I know I can best serve my couples with a focus on quality over quantity. my desire is to fill your wedding gallery with photos that tell the story of your WEDDING intertwined with heartfelt, candid, once in a moment photos of you soaking in this day with your new spouse + loved ones— rather than a focus on meeting a maximum number.
04 | HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I GET?
05/14
Email is the best way for us to stay in touch leading up to your wedding or session. Text is great for the day of. Details are often in the works and changing up until your wedding day or session. Because it's so easy for text messages to get lost, email helps me to keep all of your important details together so nothing gets missed or forgotten.
05 | WHAT IS THE BEST FORM OF COMMUNICATION?
06/14
I will gently guide you through! I want to authentically capture you the way the world sees you— as two beautiful people that are madly in love. I'll give you movements and prompts to keep the flow, while encouraging you to get close + intimate and to let your personalities pour out with ease.
But if you're looking for a photographer who is going to put you in a perfect pose for every picture or recreate a list of pinterest photos..That's okay too, but I'm probably not your girl. There's a photographer for everyone and you deserve one who's a perfect fit for you.
06 | CAN YOU POSE US?
07/14
I believe in capturing you in a way that's true to who you are. I'll always do my best to help you look your best..but I won't alter how you look, other than temporary things such as: blemishes, scrapes, bruises, etc.
07 | CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP US?
08/14
I pour just as much heart & soul into editing as I do your wedding day. Giving you the RAW unedited images would be giving you a half finished job..and ultimately a poor representation of my work. I believe editing is equally as important as the photo itself and you deserve my all. With that being said, I never give out any RAWs.
08 | DO YOU GIVE RAW/UNEDITED IMAGES?
09/14
I know how stressful it can be trying to get all your loved ones under the same roof. That’s one of the reasons why I include travel in all my packages. Once we commit, I do the rest. I’ll take care of everything needed on my end: flights, stay, transportation, food, etc. Whatever it is, I got it covered! You don’t need to worry about a thing. You book me and *poof* I’m there. Just call me Magic.
09 | DO I BOOK YOUR TRAVEL?
10/14
These are bride + groom portrait sessions.
A day-before session is amazing if you want to have your first look the day before your wedding. maybe there's some unexpected bad weather coming or you want the freedom to spend your whole wedding day together.
A day-after session is great if your bride & groom photos are really important to you and you don't want to risk feeling rushed on the day of. Or, maybe there's somewhere BEAUTIFUL you still want to EXPERIENCE and make one last memento of becoming one.
10 | WHAT ARE DAY-BEFORE/DAY-AFTER SESSIONS?
11/14
Thank God this has never happened before, but I know LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND there WILL always BE things outside of OUR control. If i couldn't make it, I would do my best to find a replacement photographer (whose work is comparable with mine). They would photograph the wedding but I would edit/deliver the final gallery. (Which wouldn’t be a breach of contract)
If I’m unable to secure a replacement or you would choose not to go with the one I found—legally I wouldn’t be held liable. But I would refund you a prorated amount based on the services I provided up until that point.
11 | WHAT IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO OUR WEDDING?
12/14
Once your deposit is made, I lock in your date(s) solely for you. If you cancel/reschedule, unfortunately my opportunities to rebook that date(s) drop significantly or all together. For this reason your deposit is legally non-refundable and all other payments made up until that point are forfeited. If you're looking to reschedule, a new deposit(s) will need to be made to hold your new date(s).
12 | WHAT IF WE NEED TO CANCEL/RESCHEDULE?
13/14
My inquiry form and questionnaires are personalized for you. The most important part of my booking process is getting to know you, your vision for your wedding day (that goes further than just style), your priorities, your story, and who you are on a personal level. It's equally as important that you get to know me, learn about my shooting process, the things I value, and hear my heart. While your wedding planner can be involved every step of the way, I can only best serve you when you are too.
13 | CAN MY WEDDING PLANNER BOOK YOU FOR ME?
14/14
I know the value of my work and everything I pour into it. I never want to undermine the value of what I can do and offer the people I'm serving. For this reason, I never give discounts.
