I’m the wedding photographer

who’s going to tell you that the most important part of your wedding day isn’t the photos.

This is the goal—

to live your day as you would if cameras were never invented, and savor the moments as they happen. I am not going to treat your wedding like a production or a movie set, and I want you to remember the day and all those special moments just the way they happened so that when you look at the pictures in 5, 10, 20 years, you remember the moment, and not how the moment was disrupted “for the photo.”

I want to help you remember the day by showing you that what’s real is what the camera will capture; that minimal time (not zero time! we still love a good portrait) taking posed photos means more time with your person and the people you both love; and that the imperfect is perfect— and that’s what will make your photos special.

It’s really important to me and to my clients that your day feels like your wedding first and foremost: No shot list to be checked off. No intrusive direction given. No goal other than to live in the moment and enjoy your day to the fullest. I want to be a quiet observer of your love and really capture the essence of the day and your relationship with each other and your family and friends. You don’t need a parade of posed moments to be happy with your wedding photos, and I will help you discover the beauty that’s in the smiles and tears of you and your loved ones. The whole time you’re planning, I will give you guidance and tips to help you reach this goal and to be sure that the photos you receive will be the ones you’ve always dreamed of. Relax and enjoy your day — I’ll capture those moments the way they happened and the way they felt.

Let’s make your

dream day happen.

You’ve been told that planning a wedding is stressful, but I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be! I will make the process as easy and fun as possible — the process is part of your fairytale, not just a means to make it happen :) And when you cry while looking through your final gallery, you’ll smile + remember the whole journey of how we got there.

Not only am I here to be a source of encouraging calm, I am also here to help plan! I will help you connect with other vendors, get you information about permit + fees if you’re eloping, and anything at all you can think of— I’m here to help :)

What’s in my wedding packages?

  • Don’t ever feel like you’re bugging me for something small or big— that’s what I’m here for! I’ll be there every step of the way.

  • Meetings via zoom, phone, or in-person to make sure we’re all on the same page about how to make your day happen! I want you to be comfortable asking questions and sharing anything about the day that you want to!

  • Each package includes the hours I spend with you getting those dreamy photos! 8-10 for a ‘typical’ wedding, 3-5 for a more intimate day.

  • I know you’ll be itching to see those photos when your big day comes to an end— and I’ll get you a preview within 24 hours. Trust me, I don’t want to keep you waiting!

  • You will get so many photos, hand-edited by me, in hi res (for printing) and web-sized versions (for sharing and social media). I’ll have that album delivered to you in 4-6 weeks!

  • Your online gallery will include a slideshow video with music, to give you the highlights of the day so you can immediately live it all over again (bring tissues).

  • You can print photos, photo albums and other fun things right from your online gallery, it’s really that easy! And you have full print rights to print whatever you want.

  • You are reading this correctly — I do NOT charge travel fees! The number that you see on my pricing guide is the number that you will pay, without having to calculate travel fees!

  • Depending on the package you choose, you'll be getting at least one roll of film from me! It's also available as an add on if you want more than that.

Built-In

These come with every package!

  • I highly recommend this as a way for us to get to know each other, for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, and also a way to have FUN and capture extra memories. If you book a wedding with me, my engagement sessions are heavily discounted.

  • I shoot most weddings solo and it’s unlikely that you would need a second— however, this is your day and if you need all the shots and really want that second photographer, I’ll bring one with me!

  • Partying all day? I can be there to capture every single second! More hours means more candids and memories that will never get lost! Just tell me how long you want me and I’ll be there for ya.

  • Remember looking at your parents’ wedding photo album? Your kids will want to remember looking at yours! You’ll want to put them in a carefully curated album where they can be looked at and enjoyed by everyone you invite into your home.

  • The best way to make sure you get those stunning portraits without the stress of fitting it into your wedding day is to book an extra shoot with me before or after your wedding!

  • SO many good moments happen during this time, and you’ve already invested in making this day special too— don’t let it go unphotographed!

Add-ons

Because we’re all a little extra.

Bridal Sessions

I’m going to sing the praises of bridal sessions until I die. I HIGHLY recommend this as part of your wedding package.

The most important thing on your wedding day is time, and you want to spend that time wisely and maximize it while keeping in mind the things that are important. Anything you can do to maximize time on your wedding day is clutch, and this is the EASIEST way to do it without sacrificing the beautiful wedding portraits that we all want and love.

A bridal session can take place before or after the wedding, and this is when you get to show off your dress or suit, and spend time with your person in a relaxed environment, without the stress of trying to cram it into the wedding day.

Full wedding packages booked before 2025 will get a FREE bridal session - ask for a pricing guide for more details!

Availability + Booking

When should we book you?

Hit the button below and make an inquiry right now! — I take a limited amount of weddings each year so I can really focus on giving my clients the best experience possible, and you’ll want to secure your date before someone else snags it! I’m still booking a couple weddings for this year and I always leave space for some smaller, last minute weddings (which always end up being some of my favorites!)

How do I book you?

After you make an inquiry via the button at the top of the page, I’ll send you an email with pricing info and you can schedule a zoom meeting so we can all meet and decide if we’re the best fit! When you’re ready to book, you’ll sign a contract and pay a retainer that is 40% of your package total (this reserves your date and gets you officially booked!). The remaining balance is split between 2 equal payments, due 3 month + 1 week before the big day :) Then we get to planning!

Let’s start telling your story now.
