Keeping things easy by laying it all out there.....
I like to keep things simple and easy for all of my couples! It's simple, my approach to photographing ANY wedding is to capture all moments of love and fun that happens on your wedding day.
I photograph a mix of modern-traditional guided portraits with natural, in the moment candids!
Each wedding is different but for the most part I try to be a ninja during the ceremony and reception to get those natural moments that are cherished.
I will assist with family photos by taking charge and going through the list you two have created and getting all those wonderful family photos DONE efficiently AF that way you can enjoy your big day!
I offer assistance in posing you two love nuggets, if you feel it's needed. If you booked an engagement session with me I will already know what prompts and poses work the best for you two.
I will help guide you through the timeline we have made together with your venue to move you seamlessly into each wedding day moment and keep you on track!
The booking process:
Phone or zoom call.
We will have a quick phone or Zoom call and chat about your wedding day photography wants and needs. From there, we will create the perfect package that will not only fit into your budget but encompass everything that you are wanting to have documented on your big day.
Contract
I will email you a contract to look over and sign to book your wedding with me. Booking your wedding date is the most important, all the other little details will be planned out!
REtainer
Once the contract is signed you will pay your $1000 retainer that goes towards your package. I accept cash, check, Venmo and online payment options through my client bookkeeping software.
The Planning Process
Timeline
We will plan out the perfect timeline for your big day by using the venues provided timeline. If your venue does not provide that for you, we can make one together that will be perfect.
Must Have photo List
We will create a custom must have photo list to capture all of the fantastic family and group photos that mean the most to the two of you. That's how I get them done efficiently AF.
The BiG Day
Yay! Your wedding day is here and I am so excited to celebrate with you!
I arrive 30 minutes before the start time discussed in your timeline and stay till the end of your package.
You will get a large photo preview of beautiful images from your big day 48-72 hours after posted on my blog as well as a mini private online gallery.
Your full wedding gallery will be delivered via private online gallery 8 to 10 weeks after your day.

When you've photographed so many weddings already, how do you take photographs that tell our story in a unique way?
That's easy! No two weddings are the same at all. Each wedding has different elements, traditions and people that make it unique. Photographing weddings for as long as I have I see the time, effort and love put into each one and I photograph all the little details and moments to tell the story that is each couple and their love.
