I once read some words by a favorite photographer of mine that said something like...
"The experience your photographer gives is the biggest impact you'll have on how much you'll love your photos. Because the truth is, those photos are precious since they hold your memories, but you'll never ever be able to get rid of the memories associated to the process you shared with your photographer."

Here for the real stuff. The raw stuff. The "can’t-keep-my-hands-off-you" stuff.
The details below are just the highlights! My full contract is super thorough so we’re both totally covered for every scenario. Once we decide we’re the perfect fit, you’ll sign your agreement and send over your non-refundable retainer. That’s when I pull out the permanent ink and officially lock in your date!
FAQ | No, I do not bring a second-shooter. Ever. My approach is observational and intentional. I'm a lone-wolf and solo is how I perform my best work, without distraction. I work as both a guest and a quiet observer—moving gently through your day, staying present, and noticing the little, real, in-between moments without disrupting them.
FAQ | Yes, I encourage your guests to take photos right alongside me! Their photos are just as important as mine and they're excited to be a part of your day! However, I do not pause or step aside, nor do I hesitate to jump right in front of them so I don't miss anything! And I do not edit phones out of your photos :) So announcing an unplugged ceremony is entirely your choice!
What’s included in both of my options below:
Tailored Planning: You’ll complete a couples questionnaire upon booking (so I can get to know you both before we meet) and a pre-wedding questionnaire so I don’t miss a single unique detail in your story.
Complimentary engagement session, printing rights, digital downloads, access to my professional prints lab, and a your choice of an heirloom gift (keepsake box/USB/prints, OR a canvas)!
Flexible Coverage: Need more time? You can always add extra hours to my full-day coverage!
Open Communication: Ask me anything! If you’re a 'talk it out' person, let’s schedule a call/zoom or grab coffee to go over the details.
Yes, I send preview galleries! I will have one for you within a few days after your wedding date! Your full gallery is ready within 8-12 weeks!
A travel fee may need added for locations over 45 miles from my studio address.
Intimate / Tailored
Hourly | I will arrive whenever you say and stay as long as you need me. Some wedding days are more intimate than a big guest list and wild reception! Let’s look at your timeline together to ensure every meaningful moment is captured and preserved for your future heirlooms.
Full Day Coverage
A typical full day is eight hours and begins about three hours before your ceremony. I’ll be there to capture the quiet magic of getting ready, the emotion of your ceremony, and your formal portraits. Then, I’m off to the reception to document your main events and all the high-energy fun on the dance floor!
starting at $205 | subject to change at any time due to materials, postage, print pricing, etc.
I searched for years for the most perfect creator and seller. My keepsake boxes are beautifully engraved wood (dark or light stain) or glass and can feature artistic designs such as flowers or geometric shapes, names, dates, etc. They are ordered through an outside company - another small business, like me! I have been ordering from them since 2023. These include a USB drive and space for up to 120 / 4x6 prints! I choose ~10 of some of my favorites to place inside your box, but you can add more!
