If you've made it this far that means you're seriously considering me to be your wedding photographer and I honestly couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for your interest!
For the last 6 years, I've specialized in capturing intimate moments at weddings with joy-filled couples that love out loud. The time we spend together could never truly be recreated so I'm all about keeping things honest yet intentional. I have a keen eye for those unexpected moments and I focus on raw emotion. Whether that be a sweet kiss, a tear shed, or a huge belly laugh.
I'd be delighted to be a part of your very special day. To help keep things completely transparent, I've created this Client Guide to show you all the investment details you need.
One of the best ways to get comfy in front of the camera, is to have a little practice first. Your engagement session serves both as our formal introduction but also a practice run for all the prompts and posing that we'll do on your wedding day. I want to hear all about your love story and wedding planning tea. We'll keep things light but getting to know you really helps me to bring out your personality in your photos.
Before your session, I'll send you my Engagement Prep Guide. Inside you'll find tips, location ideas, outfit inspiration and more.

Who says you can't do a solo session?
This session is great for trying on your dress after alterations are completed, or doing a makeup and hair trial all before the big day. I encourage getting a bouquet and bringing a friend or family member to help you feel comfortable while I make you feel confident in front of the camera.
We can plan your session together and rest assured I'll be sending a bridal guide your way to help you prepare.
