My job as your photographer is to ease your awkwardness or nervousness. You do not need to know how to pose because I will prompt and direct through every moment. My goal is to create space for you to feel comfortable, so if something isn’t working, I will redirect until everything feels right.

What if we’re awkward or nervous in front of the camera?

My approach to documenting a wedding day is allowing space for you and your partner to enjoy your wedding day and to be present, with direction and prompting without it being overly much. I document wedding days with the mindset of allowing space and being there as one of the guests, not a photographer poking out in the crowd. I want all of my couples to feel like they can live their wedding day presently.

How would you describe your approach to documenting a wedding day?

Every wedding day is different, and each one comes with unique situations. I am fully equipped to handle any situation that is thrown my way with grace and the intuition to redirect and diffuse tough situations. For weather, I will do my best to work around rain or heavy weather conditions for outdoor photos if indoor use is limited. If indoor use is available and usable, I will use that as much as possible. The last thing I want for my couples is to worry about situations during their wedding day.

If there are expected weather changes before a session, I will put my couples’ comfortability above pushing through, especially if it is downpouring. I am always down to shoot in the rain, but I understand that it can be uncomfortable to be soaked during your session. Typically, 2–3 days before your session, I will look at the weather and reach out if the forecast for your date and time does not look favorable and reschedule if my calendar permits flexibility in changes.

How do you handle unexpected moments like weather changes, timeline shifts, or emotional family dynamics?

There are so many amazing and talented photographers, but what sets me apart as a wedding and elopement photographer is my devotion to capturing your story with care and presence, as well as putting your comfortability and happiness above all else, because your wedding day is about you and the love you share. I also want to cultivate a friendship with you and your partner before stepping into your wedding day. On your big day, you will be surrounded by friends and family, so I want to step into the role of both your wedding photographer and someone you can talk to and trust to help you in any situation.

When I was planning my own wedding, I was so worried about how my husband and I were going to feel on our wedding day. I was unsure if our day was going to feel like a photoshoot and if our comfortability would be forgotten. Luckily, our photographer was incredible and made us feel comfortable and heard throughout our whole day. I carry those standards into each wedding day because I know how vulnerable it can be to be in front of a camera with your loved ones and have your photographer capture all of the joy, chaos, emotions, laughter, and the little moments that make up your day.

What sets you apart as an elopement and wedding photographer?

I have photographed weddings for over 4 years and have an eye for noticing moments as they unfold, so I am very confident in my abilities to capture your wedding day. However, sometimes small moments or emotions can be missed. I always recommend adding a second shooter to your wedding services so I can give you photos that tell the full story. I want you to be able to look back through your photos and feel like you are presently in the moment, seeing how your parents wiped tears from their eyes during your ceremony and how your Uncle Bob laughed so hard during speeches at your reception. These little moments speak volumes when it comes to viewing your photos.

Why should we include a second shooter in our wedding services?

I work best with couples who truly value their photos but also want to live in the moment, whether that’s on their wedding day or during a couples session. I adore couples who intentionally choose presence with each other, their family, and their friends while trusting me to document their story as it naturally unfolds. My couples care more about how their experience feels than following perfection, and they want photos that reflect real connection, emotion, and the in-between moments.

What kind of couples do you work best with?

Each wedding, elopement, and session is unique, so each booking process is different. For all of my wedding and elopement couples, I will set up a call to discuss information, your expectations for your wedding photography, how I can fit into your day seamlessly, and how you envision your day. I want to get to know you and everything you are so beyond excited about. After the call, I will send you a contract and an invoice for a 25% non-refundable deposit to lock in your date. The non-refundable deposit is not a separate cost and will go toward the overall price. Due to high volumes of inquiries, I cannot guarantee that your date can be held, so both the contract and deposit will be due within 48 hours of delivery.

For my couples sessions, I will be in contact with you via email or text, depending on what you are most comfortable with. We will discuss your goals for your shoot and how I can capture your love story in a way that feels true to you and your partner. From there, I will send you a contract and an invoice for a 50% non-refundable deposit to lock in your date and time. The non-refundable deposit is not a separate cost and will go toward the overall price. Due to high volumes of inquiries, I cannot guarantee that your date can be held, so both the contract and deposit will be due within 48 hours of delivery.

How can we book with you?

If you are planning a spring–fall wedding, I recommend booking my wedding photography services at least 12 months in advance. My wedding dates are limited due to a high volume of inquiries that typically come in around the 12-month mark, and my books are often filled by April. I truly want to work with as many couples as possible, but once dates are filled, I am unfortunately unable to take on additional weddings and do have to turn couples away throughout the year.

For couples sessions, I recommend booking 2–3 months in advance. I typically have a few dates available for couples sessions and can be a bit more flexible with scheduling, but availability is still limited, especially during peak seasons.

How far in advance should we book?

The same amount of photos applies to all of my sessions, elopements, and weddings. I promise a minimum of 75 photos for each hour. I love giving you the most and want to go above and beyond for each of my clients by delivering more than the minimum. However, depending on unforeseen situations, I always guarantee a minimum of 75 photos per hour.
