helping couples feel comfortable and have fun

1.  INITIAL MEETING
Send me a message to see if your date is available! Don't delay, I can book a year in advance.

2.  TIMELINE PLANNING
I'm here to help you plan your dream wedding. I created an Online Planning Guide that includes all of my timeline planning knowledge.

As soon as we're officially official, we'll get your engagement session on the calendar! You'll get next day sneak peeks and all of your photos in 1-2 weeks, so you can get out Save the Date cards fast!

4.  TIMELINE DINNER
Before your wedding day, I will take you both on a Timeline Dinner date (on me) to iron out timeline details and share a few cocktails. You can tell me all about your friends and family and who you want blackmail photos of :)

5.  WEDDING DAY
I arrive to the venue early to find the best locations for your photos. I will coordinate with your planner and DJ to make sure your day runs smoothly. I'll take care of everything and you just have fun! PLUS you'll get next day sneak peeks!

6.  GALLERY
2-4 weeks after your wedding you'll receive your online gallery. It is hosted for life and includes unlimited downloads to share with friends and family and an online store to order high quality prints and albums.

Wedding Experience

the love is magic

An innate ability to make us feel COMFORTABLE and CHERISHED in front of the camera.

I’m a movie buff, obsessed with Harry Potter, Tim Burton and Tarantino films. I quote Movies and TV shows like a second language.

I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I bring that magic and wonder into everything I photograph. 

Capturing intimate moments of human connection is what makes my heart beat hardest. I am so passionate and I put so much of my soul into documenting your love story in the most magical and meaningful way.

Wedding Investment

My work is a collaboration, I want to tell your story and I do that best when I know more about you. I like to add a personal touch and do things differently. My couples tend to be sentimental, adventurous and even non traditional, choosing to do activities that feel more personal. And I want to be there to document your story, whether that's morning golf descending into cart races or sneaking away to the hotel room to take a few intimate newlywed pics! I want to give you photos that capture who you are and what your relationship feels like. I am invested in you, your love, and your day.

There’s something magical about gifs and super 8 video, they remind me of the moving paintings in Harry Potter.

It is pretty unlikely that I would miss a wedding but just in case, I have back up photographers available to cover a wedding, that are all experienced, creative, and approach Weddings with the same passion I do.
