I would describe my photography as a blend of classic and artistic imagery. In my approach to wedding photography, I am always ready to offer direction when needed, ensuring that every important shot is captured. However, whenever direction is not needed, I seek to create a relaxed environment to encourage candid moments as much as possible! I thrive working with couples who are excited about photography, as this quality allows for a truly unique and joyful portrayal of your relationship together!

Whether at a breathtaking destination or a cherished locale–photographing your elopement is an opportunity I would love to embrace. As your photographer, I am dedicated to documenting the essence of your day and the beauty of your union, no matter the scale.

While I feel confident in my ability to capture your wedding day solo, having a second photographer is beneficial for numerous reasons. The first reason is they can help save us precious time! During your day, I can send my trusted, professional partner to photograph the groom and his groomsmen, while I focus all my attention on the bride and her bridesmaids.
Second photographers are also a helping hand which translates to time and energy saved throughout the day. The more time and energy I can save by delegating tasks to my second photographer, the more I can put toward capturing special, fleeting moments!
Another benefit to having a second photographer is you will not only end up with more images but also a greater variety of them. My second photographer will likely use a different lens than me, take images from different angles and perspectives, and have more time to experiment creatively.
-
You can expect a sneak peek gallery of photos from your wedding day within 7 business days. Your full wedding gallery will be sent to you no later than 6-8 weeks after your wedding date!
-
You can expect your full engagement gallery within 2-3 weeks of your session. I do not guarantee sneak peeks with session galleries since the turnaround time is quicker.

Whether you move forward working with me or another photographer, this is a question you should always be asking for your peace of mind!!! On wedding days, I always shoot on at least 2 separate camera bodies. Each camera body is equipped with dual card slots so that you automatically have a copy of your images recorded to 2 different memory cards.
The night I get home from your wedding, I back up all of your RAW images to cloud storage until your final gallery is delivered. By this point, you will have your photos stored in 3 separate locations (memory card 1, memory card 2, the cloud). In addition, I also backup all your RAW photos to my external hard drive for safekeeping.
In total, I have your images in at least 4 places at all times until your final gallery is delivered.
-
My editing style applies best to settings where light comes naturally and the color palette is earthy or neutral. I love working with direct sunlight just as much as golden hour lighting. I love edits that keep skin tones natural and have an affinity for working with greens.
[003] Engagements
Save $200 on your engagement session when booked with a wedding! Once your session is booked, I will email you a questionnaire to help us begin to plan out the details. The first step in planning is to schedule a date.
Once a date is picked, if you do not already have a location in mind, I will use your questionnaire responses to suggest 3-5 locations I believe would be great for your session. You will be responsible for choosing a location, from my list or a location you found, no later than 2 weeks before your session! Travel costs for your session will be an additional cost based on the IRS standard mileage rate.
