The Wedding Experience

So you've established you're looking for timeless wedding photography that's storytelling, moving and captures the day exactly how it was in real life. check, check and check.

But you’re also wanting to have an unforgettable experience where you can relax, enjoy the day and trust you’re in good hands throughout some of the chaos a wedding day may bring. You’re in for a treat. I’ve got you covered.

When you hire me as your photographer, you're investing in an experience that will provide you with these three things:

01 / Confidence

Not only will your photos represent my timeless and true to color style, they will represent you, your relationship and everything that makes your story yours.

02 / guidance

I know how awkward and unfamiliar it can feel to have your photo taken. I strive to make the photography experience as effortless and enjoyable as possible by guiding and giving plenty of direction. As you get more comfortable in front of the camera, those joyful and emotion-driven moments will happen!

03 / friendship

You can expect me to celebrate your story, your love or your family just as much as your closest friends and family members do.

Wedding photography is the only heirloom that you'll be able to treasure years and years after your wedding day, but how big of a bummer would it be if your photographs didn't represent how your wedding day actually was?

What if your bridesmaid dresses didn't look how they looked in real life? Or what if your bold, beautiful flowers looked more muted than they actually were?

That's why I strive to keep my images colorful.

Whether that's preserving the natural colors on your wedding day in my photographs or capturing all of the real tears and giggles, your wedding day deserves to be photographed exactly how it happened.

Yes! Regardless of if your wedding celebration is flight or a drive away, I’d love to be there! Weddings have taken me to some pretty incredible places including Greece, Seattle, Memphis, St Louis and so many more amazing cities!

While an engagement session is great to get pretty pictures to use for your save the dates, they are primarily most beneficial for us to get to know each other. An engagement session will give you and your partner time in front of the camera to get familiar with some of the “poses” we will do on your wedding day, for us to find out what works and also what maybe doesn’t! Not every pose or prompt I’ll give you will fit you and your partner, and that’s ok! An engagement session helps with this process so then come your wedding day, we can sail through portrait time and get you to the party quicker!

I work with my couples to create a customized wedding photography timeline that includes when which photos will take place, when you need to be ready for your first look and even what time the sun sets for those dreamy portraits. A traditional wedding will need 8-9 hours of wedding coverage. A wedding with multiple locations and a Catholic ceremony will likely need 10+ hours. 

Absolutely! I’m your gal. During your wedding planning process, if you are stuck on other vendors such as a florist, bakery, stationer, etc., hit me up because I've got you covered! I've worked with some amazing vendors who I would love to match you with to go with the aesthetic and vibe you are going for.
