The Experience

My style is heavily focused on the real interactions. So we aren’t going to focus on the posing. We create together. Yes, I love using beautiful sunsets/scenery to amplify an interaction, but that isn’t a necessity for creating authentically, beautiful moments. I am focused on getting your best angles while you get to enjoy the happiest moments of life. So if you’re looking for the editorial, posed, “perfect looking” shots, we might not be a great fit for one another.

I thrive on connection. The people I get to work with aren’t just clients, they are beautiful souls whose story deserves to be told. I do this through connecting with each and every one of them. Before we shoot together, I have an interview process where we get to know one another, and I incorporate what we talk about into our work. This interview gives me that magic juice to curate a session completely around you and your partner, and its one of my favorite parts of creating intention and trust between us before we show up the day of your session.

The couples I normally work with have never been photographed professionally, but that’s why we have this call! I want to make sure both of you are comfortable with me and can fully put your trust in me when capturing your connection.

I will be your biggest supporter in breaking tradition. I was one of those couples who said “ I wish we would’ve eloped” or “I wish I would’ve had a more intimate setting”, and it kills me when I hear other couples with the same regrets. Want to get married on a boat? Let’s do it. Or have a private ceremony and an intimate dinner with your closest friends after? Absolutely. Want to rent a campground for a weekend and make a full event of it? Want to go to a foreign country with your friends to bar hop the day before? Go backpacking for 2 days before saying your vows? Or trash the dress cliff diving after the ceremony?

It’s so easy to skip the stress and pressure put on couples for their wedding day. If you have an idea and want to run with it, I’m here to help you make that happen. You should able to look back at your wedding photo’s and feel real joy, raw happiness, and beautiful connection. Being authentic to yourselves is the best way to do that, and that’s really what this is all about. Getting those authentic moments, and getting to relive them the rest of your life.

A big goal of mine is to help people understand that photography should be more than just another check off your to-do list. You may not realize it now, when trying to find the perfect color for the bridal party, or finalizing the centerpieces, or when trying to find the perfect meal, but photography is the one thing that lives on after your big day. The biggest regret I hear from wedding day’s is not investing in a good photographer.

Photographs are the one thing that add value as the years and generations move on. It’s how we relive and tell our stories. That being said, I may not be the cheapest photographer, or within your budget and that is very ok! You deserve to have someone who fits all of your needs for the big day! I’m passionate about the couples who are looking for intentional, authentic moments to create together.

If there is one word to describe my style of photography or editing, it would be borderless. No two couples are the exact same, and I want my work to show that. I stay authentic to the setting, and don’t try to get a specific type of image or coloring when it comes to how I shoot/edit. My goal is to truly capture the emotion and connection between couples, and there is no specific style that defines that, because we are all so beautifully different.

The artistic choices I make in lighting/coloring are not to benefit me with a specific style, because this isn’t about me, these are for you. To show you your true connection to one another. I focus on quality over quantity so you can truly value the images forever.

You’ve probably never been a bride and groom before, so I don’t expect you to know everything. In fact, I’m here for all the things you don’t know. I have all the “do’s and don’ts ” tips, information on permits, how to save money, how to break tradition in small(or big) ways, create more of an event for everyone, plan timeline, prepare before hand, and so much more.

Because of the time I want to give for my couples, I do have limited availability throughout the year. I do this to make sure I can give 100% to every couple I work with, no matter the circumstance. Most couples don’t just book me for one day, it’s for a weekend, or follow up anniversary/family session, maternity, etc. I want to make sure I can serve those who have been with me as well as the new couples who are getting started.
