I’ll probably see you in your undies.

Wedding photography is an intimate job. I always “joke” that I’ll see you in your underwear on your wedding day, but it’s true! It’s an honor to be included in such intimate moments on your wedding day, and the closer of a relationship we have, the better. So let’s be friends!! I want to develop a friendship where we can play “name that movie” successfully during your engagement session (hint: the answer is usually anything with Drew Barrymore). I may not have known you since elementary school, but if you let me into your life, I promise your photos will make you feel the same way as when your childhood crush handed you a valentine personally.

So, let me take you out for drinks or ice cream. I want you to be able to let your guard down around me and show your true self–that’s when the magic happens. I want you show me your love and excitement, rather than put you in a static pose. 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.

LET GO OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS

You don't need to look a certain way...you don't need to even look at the camera. You just need to let yourself live in the moment and I'll do the rest. When you let go of the expectation of how your wedding needs to be structured, the moments that emerge end up being way more powerful and memorable. I build in minimal time for portraits, and the rest of the time is spent ENJOYING your wedding day! Most clients take only one hour throughout the entire day for posed portraits. Sound small? We can always expand or contract that time, but I firmly believe that the photo of you dancing with your bridesmaids is more special than you all in a line :)

F A Q S

• HOW ARE OUR IMAGES DELIVERED?

I deliver everything in a online gallery, from which you can download in either web or high resolution! You can download as many times as you'd like, and can send the gallery to friends and family so they can do the same.

• DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?

I work with a second photographer for about half of our weddings! Seconds are most helpful when you are getting ready at two separate locations, there are large wedding parties and/or a large guest count.

• DO YOU OFFER PRINTS OR ALBUMS?

Yes! You can order prints, canvases, cards, and more directly through your online gallery! I also offer albums, but there are so many customizable options that we will work closely to make the perfect one for you.

• HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

I try to be as documentary as possible, but enjoy putting you in relative positions for variety and creative portraits! I may have you sit in a certain location, but from there will let you interact and have fun as a couple while I just capture your love. That being said, I'm comfortable posing for wedding party and family pictures and will work with you to make them as stress-free as possible!

• HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?

I generally deliver about 75-100 images per hour for weddings, and 150-200 total for engagement sessions. It's so hard to choose between your smiles, so chances are if you and your partner are super giggly and cuddly, we'll deliver a bunch!

• HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?

Weddings require a deposit of 50% and contract signature. We can do that all electronically sent right to your email.
