Weddings & Elopements
for couples
The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, and happy tears.
Photography is one of the most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. When it’s all said and done, your photos are the only tangible thing you have to hold on to long after your day is over. Think about it. These are photos you will cherish for a lifetime.
My best work is always made when we are mutually excited about working together and trust each other whole-heartedly. With that being said, I’m not the photographer for everyone and that is OKAY! My goal is to get to know you and tell your story as authentically as possible. I'm here to serve you and provide an incredible experience from start to finish.
the moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Elopements
the details
On a wedding day, my goal is to be seen as just one of the guests who happens to have a camera, because that is when I can capture the real connections and personalities. My approach is non-invasive, knowing when to step in but most importantly when to step back.
I aim to document your day, not direct it and curate every moment. I never want you to feel like your day is a photoshoot! As a married woman myself, I deeply value marriage and the importance of having everyone you love in the same space as you. I want you to enjoy every minute of it.
I value the relationship between my couples and I so much. I genuinely want to get to know you and make a connection instead of just being some random photographer that shows up to take photos. I’m not in this for the money, your story is the reason I am here. After it’s all said and done, I’m still so close with most of my clients and I absolutely love it.
the experience
I'm such a big believer that all the must have photos are already there on a wedding day... the feelings, the connections, the messy real life moments. There's no need for me to stage everything because I can anticipate the moment it'll happen.
My goal is to deliver a gallery that you can look back on and feel every emotion. I believe images that tell a story are more powerful than the perfect ones.
At weddings, I am constantly on alert for all of the in between moments and glances. For the tear rolling down your grandma’s cheek as you read your vows. For the cheerful hugs being exchanged after the ceremony is over. For the laughter and commotion during cocktail hour from all of your loved ones. For everyone gettin’ down on the dance floor at your reception. Down to the food and drinks being served throughout the night of your celebration.
what's it like working with me?
My turn around time for when you receive a wedding/elopement gallery is approximately 8 weeks and engagement sessions are 3-4 weeks! For weddings, my couples receive 50+ sneak peeks within 7 days after their date.
When do i receive my images?
Yes!! I'm extremely passionate about film photography which is why I include it in all of my wedding collections.
Do you shoot on film?
Absolutely! As of right now, I’m only traveling within the United States. A travel fee will be provided depending on the location and season of the wedding.
will you travel to shoot our wedding?
Yes I am, and a copy of my COI can be provided to your venue.
are you insured?
Absolutely, I adore meeting new people and collaborating with others!! The most important thing (for everyone involved) is to make sure you understand my approach to weddings and that the videographer you’re hiring has a similar approach. My goal is to be as unobtrusive as possible and to let the day flow, however I can’t achieve that documentary style in your photos if another vendor is disrupting it.
do you work with videographers?
The camera that I use (along with my second photographer's) have dual card slots which means that your memories are being copied on to two cards at the same time. So from the moment I start shooting, your images are automatically in two locations! Immediately after I get home from your wedding, I directly export your images on to a solid state drive and both memory cards are stored safely until your wedding gallery is delivered.
