WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER
GUIDED - NEVER OVER-DIRECTED
You will not be abandoned in front of the camera with no idea what to do.
I'll give you gentle direction when you need it, while leaving room for your real body language and chemistry to show up. The goal is not to make you look naturally affectionate with a stranger's pose - it's to bring out how the two of you already connect.
PHOTOGRAPHS ROOTED IN REALITY - NOT PERFORMANCE
You're not planning your wedding around a photoshoot. You're planning a day full of people you love, questionable dance moves, champagne spills, nervous hands, happy tears and moments that will disappear before you realize they happened.
My work blends documentary storytelling with a classic style. That means the emotion stays honest, the compositions stay intentional and you never have to choose between beautifully directed portraits and the unscripted moments happening around you.
EXPERIENCE THAT SHOWS UP WHEN PLANS CHANGE
I've photographed in rain, harsh sun, dark interiors, crowded rooms, windy beaches, mountain locations and spaces I had never seen before arriving. Being unfamiliar with a venue does not limit me - it keeps me inspired and creative.
I also come prepared for the wedding-day hiccups that inevitably happen: weather changes, timelines run late, buttons break, people disappear right before family photos and carefully made plans suddenly need a plan B. I can't promise that everything will unfold perfectly, but I can promise that I'll stay calm, think quickly and find the strongest creative solution without making the problem yours.
A TIMELINE THAT LETS YOU BREATHE
We'll account for travel, family dynamics, changing light and the fact that people rarely move as quickly as a spreadsheet expects them to. I'll tell you honestly when a plan feels too tight and help you protect time for the parts of the day you want to prioritize.
WHAT IS ALL INCLUDED?
COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTAION
It gives us a chance to get to know each other and figure out if we'd be a good fit. Your comfort is always my number one priority, and comfort with your photographer is key to capturing candid, authentic imagery. We'll talk through your celebration, priorities, logistics and any worries already living in your head.
HALF TO FULL DAY PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE
From dawn to dusk and everything in between. Coverage can be as unique as your day, starting at 6 hours, I'll photograph the day as it unfolds while stepping in with guidance when needed.
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
An engagement session is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. And it gives you the best opportunity to get a feeling for how I work.
HIGH RESOLUTION EDITED IMAGES
Every delivered image is individually edited in my signature style. My work stays rooted in real color and skin tones, with warmth, depth and a subtle cinematic mood.
ONLINE GALLERY
Your images will be delivered in a private, downloadable online gallery designed for easy viewing and sharing with the people you love. So that you can view them from anywhere.
TIMELINE PLANNING
We'll go over all the aspects of your day and everything you'd like to captured to ensure we create a timeline that doesn't only cover photographs but also allows time for you to truly enjoy. You've waited you whole lives for this day, let's make sure you soak in all the goodness and magic of it all!
