Weddings
Congratulations! Your wedding is one of the most joyful occasions of your life, and one of the few times you'll have a day all about you surrounded by all of your loved ones. It's a day you'll remember forever and when the moment arrives, I'm here to help you tune out everything else and just be in it.
​
I zero in on your connection with your partner and the joy of your family and friends as they celebrate your love! As your photographer, I'll photograph the whole day from start to finish, from getting ready and decor setup to the last stragglers still hanging out on the dance floor after your final send off. Nothing escapes my lens, 24 hours later I'll send a few sneak peaks and in a few short weeks you'll have hundreds of beautiful, timeless images that you can look back on and cherish for decades to come.
What We Offer
Communication
Anytime, at All Times
You've never done this before, so it's natural to have a lot of questions and anxieties about how, exactly, you and your partner are going to pull this day off.
​
I've been there! Once you book with me, I'm at your disposal for anything you need even if we're two years out.
24-Hour Sneak Peaks
Weddings go by fast! Before you know it, you're waking up the morning after and reminiscing on all the fun. I'll make sure you have a handful of edited photos that are share-ready the next day, so you don't have to wait weeks before making that post you've dreamt of all year.
Details
Everyone brings something unique to their wedding day. A pair of shoes, cufflinks, a rose, a veil, you have a special connection to the items you bring with you down the aisle. I like to put these hints of each of you together in the beginning and document the details of your love as you enter this new chapter.
Custom Shotlists and Timelines
I like to be prepared. I'll work with you or your planner directly on a detailed timeline for what we need shot from the moment I arrive. Everything from getting ready to final send off will be planned out, with every guest you want included and we can modify it at anytime, even the night before. I make sure to build all timelines with a little wiggle room built in (just in case!).
Site Visits and Walk-Through Assistance
Need me there during your walk-through? Count me in! I visit my local venues before my shoots and can be on hand for your venue walk-through(s) so I can get a feel for your vision of the space and make sure no detail gets overlooked.
Getting Ready
The fun begins! Grab your best friends and spend some time getting spiffy before the ceremony, I'll get cute candids and powerful portraits from the moment the eyeliner goes on. We'll make sure to cover the guys too (they usually don't take much time).
First Look
While not everyone opts for a first look, I encourage all my couples to consider it. This moment is just about you and your partner seeing each other for the first time on the big day. After hours of prep and many days of anticipation, you two are looking your best and now its time take each other in, just the two of you. I'll make sure to capture exactly how it feels.
​
I'll be a fly on the wall at first, so you guys get the privacy of that moment, then I'll step in with some light direction and make sure we get some powerful portraits in a moment of stillness that's all about you and your love.
Cocktail Hour and Golden Hour
The light is perfect and soft about an hour before sunset, so let's tell the story of your love in all its warmth and glow with light to match. These photos are often favorites.
Full Print Rights and High Resolution Digital Gallery
Every detail captured, nothing missed. Every frame is delivered in 47 million pixels of perfect clarity, so print them as big as you can dream. 1:1 smaller versions included for social sharing, no restrictions.
You and Your Loved Ones
After, or instead of, the First Look, or sometimes after the ceremony, we'll bring in family and friends and I'll bring out those shotlists and make sure we get timeless portraits and candids of you and everyone you care about who are here for your special day!
​
All the joy of the day, preserved forever!
Ceremony
The moment we're all here for! My lens never leaves you, we'll make sure every beautiful moment is captured in all its meaning from procession to recession, without getting in the way or missing a beat, so you can relive this moment for years to come!
Dinner, Dancing and Departing
It's party time! I'll be there to capture the speeches and toasts, the cake cutting, the dancing and the final send off. You'll look back on these and remember the fun, spontaneity, and laughter of every moment.
You Might Be Wondering...
What is your style?
​
I favor a bright, colorful, candid-forward style that emphasizes the depth of connection between people. I often tell people when they ask what I shoot that I photograph joy and connection. That's what I look for everytime.
Do you help with posing?​
​
Yes! I offer light direction most of the time but am happy to step it up if the look demands it. I won't treat you like mannequins though. My posing feels natural, elegant, and comfortable.
Do you give direction during the day?
Yes—when needed. I’ll step in during portraits and family photos, and step back during emotional, unscripted moments.​
How do we book you?​
​
A signed contract and deposit is required to secure your date. A contract will be provided to you by email.
When should we book?​
​
I'd recommend at least six months out from your date, depending on the date.
Do you photograph more than one wedding per day?​
​
Absolutely not. I want to be present for everyone I work with, and I can't do that with competing commitments on a single day, if you book me, you're the only thing I have going on that day.
How many hours of coverage do we need?​
​
For wedding packages, I recommend between six and eight hours depending on your vision for the day and size of of the wedding, however timelines are flexible and I am happy to advise and assist on maximizing your time for photos if we don't go with a standard six or eight hour package.
How do we know how much time to take for photos?​
​
I recommend devising a list of shots you want, don't self-censor, make it as long as you can. I'll give you an estimate of what I think it will take and we'll go from there and we can always adjust. I'll craft a timeline for your approval or work with your coordinator to get a schedule dialed in so we don't miss a single moment.
What happens if it rains?​
I'll be there! I've got rain-proof gear and clothing and plenty of indoor lighting solutions if we need to move into shelter. Don't worry, whatever happens, I've got your back every step of the way.
When will I receive my images?
It depends on the package! Longer shooting times mean I shoot more images, and I don't want to leave anything out, so I take more time to go through them all and make sure I give you as many beautiful shots as I can. For six hour packages, I need about three weeks, for eight hours or more, about four weeks.
How many images will we get?
​
You can expect about 50-75 edited images per hour of shooting time. I usually deliver about 400 per wedding package. Elopements, because they are smaller scale affairs, tend to top out at about 200.
Do you edit the images?
​
Yes! I don't provide any images unedited, everything you get will be edited for optimal color, clarity, contrast, and consistency. This is why it takes some weeks to get the images back, I want to make sure everything I capture about your perfect day is, well, perfect!
