I'm not a dentist...

BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR MOLARS.

SWEATY DANCEFLOOR PICTURES FOREVER!

Throw all your notions of what wedding photography has to be out the window and get ready for the most down-to-earth, authentic portrayal of your wedding day. Ugly crying, starry-eyed gazes and all.

Instead of a fly on the wall, I’ll be dancing to Beyonce next to you to help you feel more comfortable. Instead of getting up in your face during the ceremony, I’ll hang back and let you have the private, special moments you deserve. And I’ll deliver the gallery that makes you say “how did she even get all of that?”

cue the confetti!

Experience over expectations.
Every time.

Give Me The Deets

I’m here for you all day

(with enough excitement that you’re going to think I harnessed the literal power of the sun)

unbound by hours.

FULL DAY PACKAGES ONLY
pricing $4000-$6500

In order to tell your full story, beginning to end, I’ll always be there for the full day! From getting ready in your pajamas to dancing under the stars, I’ll be there through the moments you’ve planned, the moments you couldn’t even imagine, and everything in between.

Pop the bubbly! I’m ready!

I'll probably see you in your undies

I’ve even seen “no pants are the best pants” getting ready shirts. And it ROCKED.

I Had No Idea Someone Could

Capture The Day So Beautifully

“Where do I even begin? From the moment we met Athena, she immediately won us over. Her sweet personality and energetic vibe was just what we were looking for when it came to our wedding photographer. The photos are stunning. All of our friends and family, particularly in the wedding party, made so many comments about how great the photographers were. I had no idea someone could truly capture the entire day so beautifully. My family and I will be asking Athena for photography work in the near future and for years to come.”

I want to catch you smiling big enough
to light up a room!

I want to catch those irreplaceable moments where you’re smiling big enough to light up a room. Where you weren’t planning it, but it looks like you’re floating on air you’re so happy. The eye contact, the hugging, the candid laughter, and all the unplanned, chaotic beauty that makes us human during one of the most unforgettable days of your life. I’m here to capture THAT gorgeousness!

I'm so there, it's insane
