The Experience
Did you know that you spend the majority of your elopement or wedding day with your photographer? From the time you start getting ready until everyone is taking celebratory shots during the last song – I am with you every step of the way.
Which is why creating timeless and authentic images you can revisit, cherish, and pass down for generations to come is what I do. Providing a stress-free and unique experience for my couples is what I value most. And trust me when I say, I am happiest when preserving the beauty of great love story.
Real Romance,
Remembered.

Everything is case by case, I know how stressful it has been for couples planning a wedding since the start of the pandemic. Everything is outlined in my contracts, but I am doing my best to always stay up to date with local and federal mandates, as well as vaccinations and boosters. My number one priority is to ensure the health and safety of my clients!
I mean it when I say literally everyone asks me this! For most people getting in-front of a camera, that is not an iPhone is not an everyday thing, so I don’t expect you to come out and be like America’s next top model. And honestly that is not what I want, I want these photos to be an authentic reflection of you and your story.
Engagement sessions are delivered within 4-6 weeks after the shoot date. Wedding galleries are delivered within 10-12 weeks of the wedding date, and a ‘sneak peak’ will be delivered to you one week after you marry the love of your life! However, times may vary based on seasons – my busiest months being April, May, June, September, and October!
Heck yes! I am so grateful photography has taken me to some of the most incredible destinations such as, San José del Cabo, Joshua Tree, San Diego, Portland, and Seattle to name a few that hold a special place in my heart. Travel fees may apply and vary based on location - but be sure to check out my bucket list destinations for special rates and discounts!
Working with me on your wedding day is a stress free, intentional, and fun time — I promise! I am here to hold your train, whisp away fly hairs, tie your ties, re-engineer your timeline, hype you up, and ensure you are able to be present on this ever so important day in your lives.
Absolutely – my anxiety and I could not be without it! If your venue requires proof of insurance, general liability insurance, etc. this is not a problem. Simply let me know, and I can coordinate with your venue to ensure they receive any and all necessary documents.
I do not work off of structured shot lists, I want couples who are stoked to work with me and trust my creative direction! I have a questionnaire I send out a month or so before your day wedding that helps me build the best timeline and shot list for your wedding day so we don't miss anything.
Please, do not panic about the weather or obsessively refresh the weather app leading up to your day/session! Forecasts change so quickly and we can’t change the weather — so let’s embrace it! Some of my favorite sessions have been rainy ones, so no stress! If it happens to be a storm, or extreme inclement weather we can always reschedule.
