Regardless of where your love takes you, it deserves to be documented in a way that is true to you and your person. I approach weddings big or small with an open mind and heart, ready to celebrate right there with you.

SOME FAVORITES
First things first, fill out my contact form so we can arrange a time to meet online or in person! Here I can get to know more about you and your fiancé's needs, expectations, and y'all's story! I'll also go over my process in detail and answer any questions you may have.
STEP 1. LET'S TALK
Yay! We are a good fit! Once you confirm you would like to hire me as a photographer, I will send over a contract and invoice. From there you can pay your non-refundable retainer online and sign your contract. Once that's done, you're officially booked!
step 2. book your date
2 / 4
I highly encourage all my couples to do an engagement session with me, even if they have already done them before. This is where we get to know each other, melt some tensions, and have some fun! It's also a great way for you and your partner to have an excuse for a fancy date night afterwards!
step 3. engagement session
3 / 4
I'll send out a questionnaire about 8 weeks from your wedding day so we can really nail down those details. This is where we start planning the timeline, family shot list, and any other details to include for your day! Having these things done beforehand helps the day flow as smoothly as possible for not just photos, but for you as well!
step 4. Let's get to planning!

EEEK! The day we have all been waiting for, but ESPECIALLY you and your fiancé. This is where all the preparation comes to show its fruitfulness. All you have to do is relax, enjoy the day, and live in the moment. We will take care of the rest!

While y'all are still processing that you are now married to your best friend, I'll be working hard to get you your gallery within 4-6 weeks after your wedding day! Once delivered, you will then be able to purchase prints and more from your online gallery. Yay!

frequently asked questions
This is a tricky question and there is no "right" answer. I have had a camera since I was 14, went to college for black and white film photography from 18-21, and have been in business since 2018. Within this time I have assisted and second shot with some AMAZING photographers, photographed beautiful weddings, elopements, families, seniors, and models. Overall, you could say I have been photographing for 13 years total, and 4 years professionally! I am constantly learning and growing my craft. I can't wait to see what the future holds!
YES. This is actually what made me fall in love with photography! If this something you want to make sure I incorporate into your package, just let me know! Film has its own costs, but is so dang worth it.
At this time, the short answer is no. Because engagement sessions are complementary, they cannot be exchanged for cash value. They are also the main way I am able to get to know you and your fiancé before the big day! Think of it as a trial run of us all getting weird without any pressure from your wedding!
ABSOLUTELY. We have all wondered what to do with our hands. I use a combination of prompts, posing, and "directed candidness" to be able to get those natural images that show y'all at your best and to make y'all comfortable. Don't worry, I got you.
