During couple portraits, family photos, and bridal party pictures? I'm talking the whole time. Telling you exactly what to do, from "put your hand in your pocket so you don't look like a Lego person" to "walk toward me like you're actually going somewhere." But during everything else – getting ready, ceremony, reception – I'm capturing moments without interjecting myself into your day. You'll see me everywhere, but you'll barely notice me.

DIRECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT, INVISIBLE WHEN YOU DON'T

I do this full-time. I've thought through every moment of your timeline, mapped out the logistics, and have backup plans for the backup plans. Need help with your schedule? I've got you. Worried about taking family photos forever? I've perfected the art of getting everyone in and out while keeping it painless. The second I walk into your venue, all my focus goes to one thing: making sure you can be present while I handle the rest.

 I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING (SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO)

I shoot for how your day actually felt, not some overly filtered version of it. You'll get true-to-life colors with some film inspiration mixed in (sometimes I'm literally shooting film if couples want it). Classic camera-facing shots for your mom's mantle, but also the creative ones where you're moving, laughing, being yourselves. The kind of photos that look lived-in – because they were.

Look, I'm not trying to adopt you or be your new best friend. But I do want you to feel comfortable enough with me that you'd confide with me on all the important aspects of your wedding – because that's the kind of relationship that makes for better photos. When you trust me, when you feel taken care of, when you're not worried about how you look in front of the camera. You're hiring someone whose expertise you trust, but also someone who genuinely cares about you having the best day possible.

MORE THAN JUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

We had to wait five or six months for our own wedding photos. It was torture. So I guarantee you'll get your complete gallery in three weeks, with sneak peeks (including all family photos) within a few days. Because part of being a good caretaker is understanding that you want to relive your day as soon as possible – not half a year later.

You had me at nostalgia

Add on nostalgic captures on 35mm film for beautiful, unedited moments from your wedding, elopement, or shoot. The magic of film is multifaceted; from limited shots on a roll, to film’s perfectly imperfect nature, to the anticipation of development, every roll thrills me. Film photography reminds us to slow down, savor the moment, and remember what mattered most. I love distilling the art of photography down for a few moments on a wedding day. Film brings us back in time to when we couldn’t snap photos on our phone and instantly share them. It truly is a timeless add on to any occasion.

Are you going to help us pose? We are awkward!

it's all in the 
details

Absolutely! As someone who is naturally awkward in front of a camera, I totally get feeling like you need guidance. I’m going to guide you the whole time. From classic camera aware photos, to playful and candid, to romantic, I’ve got you. 

Are you going to help us pose? We are awkward!

back to the faqs

I’ll take a 25% non-refundable retainer at booking when you sign your contract, and then the other 75% is due a month before your wedding. 

So, how does payment work? 

two

back to the faqs

We'll make sure all your wedding day details are clearly mapped out together. I'll send a questionnaire that will go over key pieces of info, I'll draft up a timeline, and we will fine tune it together. This will all be done by 8 weeks before your date. 

When should we chat timeline? 

three

back to the faqs

Nope. I’ll get a family photo list from you about a month before your wedding. Other than that, I don’t ever use a checklist. Checklists prevent me from fully observing what’s actually happening on your day between you and your loved ones. I’ve got a wedding day down to a science as far as standard photos go, so don’t worry about anything! If there are unique requests you have that are not typical, you can totally let me know (for example, recreating a special childhood photo with your sisters).
