Weddings

timeless moments, eternal love

This is your love story. Allow me to illustrate it.

I love love.

I grew up believing in love. From Disney fairytales to watching my parents build a beautiful life together, love has always been at the heart of the stories that shaped me. It's what has inspired me for as long as I can remember.

Don't shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.

—  David Alan Harvey

Written in light,
remembered forever

I am deeply passionate about preserving your love stories through my imagery. When you choose to work with me, you can be assured that your moments will be documented in a way that will transport future generations into the pages of your fairytale.

Not only is she a wonderful photographer, she’s kind and perceptive. You won’t be disappointed!

—  Denise, 2022 Bride

FROM MOMENT TO MASTERPIECE

A LOOK INSIDE 

the PROCESS

Here's a glimpse of what it's like collaborating with me. My reputation is built on my personalized approach and attention to detail. You're not just a client, but a lifelong connection.

1. Discovery Call

After you inquire, we'll set up a consultation where we'll determine if we're compatible to work together.

No two love stories are the same, so your proposal shouldn't be either. After learning about your wedding, I'll create a personalized quote designed specifically around your vision and the moments that matter most. Most couples invest an average of $2800 on their experience.

2. PROPOSAL DELIVERY

3. pre-wedding prep

Photography is one part of the experience. I'll help you plan your timeline, offer guidance when needed, and ensure you feel relaxed and present so you can enjoy each moment.I'm always happy to collaborate with your vendor team so your photography experience feels effortless from beginning to end.

4. wedding

When your wedding day arrives, my focus is on documenting it exactly as it unfolds. While you stay fully present with the people you love, I'll be there quietly preserving the countless moments that make your day uniquely yours. From the anticipation of getting ready to the last dance, every image is created with care and intention so that years from now, you can relive not only how your wedding looked, but exactly how it felt.

Your story doesn't end after your wedding day. You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated sneak peek of your photos within 48 hours so you can relive those first beautiful moments. Your full gallery will be delivered within 6–8 weeks, filled with heartfelt images that are the beginning of a legacy you can cherish for years to come.

From heirloom albums and archival-quality prints to future milestones like anniversaries, maternity sessions, and growing families, it would be such an honor to continue telling your story through every season of life.

6. post-wedding

the lens of love

anticipation. Joy. Gratitude. Sentiment.

My approach to wedding photography is simple- instead of staging every shot, I prefer to blend into the background, letting each moment unfold naturally. Of course, I LOVE to get those traditional posed bride & groom shots, but this approach makes sure that your photos become a reflection of your unique story, rather than a cookie-cutter model of each wedding before. 

With me behind the lens, you are guaranteed an album that reflects the one-of-a-kind beauty of your day.
