Designed With You In Mind
Your wedding day isn't just something to document, it's something to fully experience. My process allows you to be fully present and enjoy your day, your moments unfolding naturally, without feeling rushed or your day feeling like it's simply reduced to a timeline of events.
My approach is simple:
- A documentary style approach capturing your day as it naturally unfolds
- Natural, guided posing (so nothing feels awkward) when you need some guidance
- A calm, organized presence on your wedding day
- Photos that feel like you, nothing forced, stiff, or overly posed
- Images crafted with the perfect balance of natural warmth and moodiness, with a rich depth and an intimate feel, yet true to color to preserve the vision you planned for your day.
- A supportive experience from start to finish, guiding you through all of the uncertainties throughout the planning process and through your wedding day

The Process
STEP 01
Fill out the form
Begin by filling out my contact form so I can gather some basic information about what you're looking for, and to make sure that I am available for your date.
STEP 02
Let's chat
If I am available for your date, we can schedule a phone consult, or even meet up over coffee if you're local to further discuss your details and see if we'd be a great fit to work together.
STEP 03
Let's get you booked!
If you feel that I am exactly what you're looking for, I will send over a proposal with your contract and package details for you to review. You will be able to electronically sign and securely pay your 25% retainer to book your date with me through here. It's that easy!
STEP 04
What happens next?
Here's a rundown of what to expect from me as the planning process gets underway. I am big on communication and strive to make the photo portion of your wedding as stress-free as possible. I'm here to support you along the way, guide you where you need it, and provide a thoughtful experience that allows me to get to know you both so I can authentically create your vision.
Right after you book, you'll receive my 90+ page welcome guide to help with all of those questions you're going to encounter, as well as an email with a timeline of when to expect communications from me for things such as your couple's questionnaire, engagement session prep, "The Man's Manual", the wedding questionnaire for your timeline creation, etc. Then I will finish with confirming the final timeline, shot list for the family photos, and any other last minute questions you may have a week prior to the wedding date.
Once the wedding day is over, you will receive sneak peeks within 72 hours, and your final curated gallery within 6 weeks. I will get your USB ordered, and if you're receiving an album, I will design and proof over your layout for you to approve, and have you choose your cover material and style. Once everything comes in, I will get everything to you!
FAQ's
What is required at booking?
To book and secure your date with me, I require a signed photography services contract, as well as 25% of the package price down as a retainer.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely! After the 25% retainer, the remaining balance can be set up in payments, but isn't ultimately due in full until a week prior to your wedding date.
Do you travel?
Yes! All wedding pricing includes travel for up to 75 miles, for further distances, a travel fee of $0.75 per mile will be added.
Can I create a custom package?
Absolutely! If you don't need any of the extras like an engagement session, or albums, we can put together a package just for you that includes what you want, and nothing you don't!
What is your editing style?
I would consider my editing style to be more on the warm and moody side, yet true to color. I love rich contrast, bolder colors, and a natural warmth to bring the emotion of each image to life. I take special care to keep your colors true and your skin tones natural, to accurately document just the way your day felt and how you envisioned!
How will I receive my images?
You will receive your images in two ways; In an online gallery, as well as on a keepsake usb. I provide usb's with all of my weddings because I know how much of a pain it can be to download and store high numbers of large, full resolution files. Plus it makes it easier for my clients to print on their own by having the print quality copies on a usb, rather than downloading them, and potentially interfering with the image quality as phones and some computer settings can compress them to save space.
Do you offer albums or prints?
I do! Some collections include albums, or you can purchase/add one onto any package, as well as many other products such as canvases, framed prints, metal wall art, etc. I have an entire catalogue of products I offer, and of course, you are also free to print on your own!
What's included in the engagement session?
The complimentary engagement session includes up to an hour of session time, 1 location, and up to 2 outfits, within 30 minutes of my location.
Are you insured?
Of course! I am fully insured and carry a liability policy, as most venues require it of vendors.
How long is your turnaround?
For weddings up to 6 weeks, and sessions 2 weeks.
Can I decide to change my package?
Of course! I completely understand that things can change as the planning gets underway, so I always allow changes to be made after booking.
How many images can I expect?
The industry standard is typically anywhere between 50-100 photos per hour of coverage, I tend to land around 75+!
What gear do you use?
Such a great question and one I feel most people overlook, but is so important, especially when only having one chance to get your wedding day right!
I shoot with 2 Nikon z6ii mirrorless bodies with dual card slots.
Additionally I am equipped with the following lenses/lighting:
Nikon 35mm 1.8
Nikon 50mm 1.8
Nikon 85mm 1.8
Sigma Art 135mm 1.8
Godox V1 Flash
How do you keep my images safe?
I take your image safety very seriously and is my top priority once the wedding day has ended. I only shoot with cameras that have dual card slots so that I have 2 copies of your images at the end of the day already. Once home, your images are then saved to my computer, an external hard drive, and then as a last fail safe, backed up to my secure online cloud storage service. Essentially, I keep copies of your images saved in 4 different places until they are finished and delivered to you!
