i’m the person behind the camera
I’ll guide you through the entire process
I take my work seriously, but that doesn’t mean I take myself too seriously. I’ll always help you feel comfortable during photos, which, yeah, sometimes means acting a little goofy. I guide you with prompts, but always follow your lead. I honor the fact that you’re showing me your true self by always showing up as myself too.
The best images are the ones that make you feel. It’s a big deal that you’re inviting along, and I can't wait to document your day.
01. THE CALL
The easiest way to get to know each other a bit is a phone call. I want to hear about what you have planned so far. I will help you understand what your needs will be on the wedding day, and get to know a little bit about your relationship. We’ll get a feel for whether or not we’re a match, and if documentary photography is your style.
02. COUPLE'S SESSION
Many of my couples include an engagement session or couples session. This is where you get comfy with the way that I shoot, and I gain an understanding of how you interact naturally around one another. This is a secret weapon to giving you wedding photos that look like yourselves and letting you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love getting to know the ways that you would normally touch / embrace / interact so that its second nature come wedding day.
03. PLANNING & TIMELINE
I’m here to help you and/or your planner during every step of wedding planning. Whether you need guidance with your timeline or help with the design process, I’m here to assist! About a month before the wedding, you’ll complete your pre-wedding questionnaire and we’ll schedule our final phone call to go over this together and lock in any last minute details.
04. THE DETAILS
I know how much work goes into planning every single detail of a wedding. I love to get a mix of details in action without spending too much time away from the candid moments of your loved ones. If the dress and invitation shots aren’t a priority for you - don’t sweat it. We will go over what matters most to you during your pre-wedding meetings, but you can rest assured that you’ll have photos of it all.
05. FAMILY & WEDDING PARTY
Group photos with me are a breeze. I’ll have a detailed list of all of the group photos compiled after our final meeting, so this part of the day can run smoothly and quickly. I am detail oriented and understand how important these photos are for documenting families - but there’s no need for this to take hours. You can plan for both of these sets of photos to take less than 30 minutes.
06. AFTER YOUR DAY
After I pack up my things and we head out for the evening, you can expect sneak peeks within 2 weeks. You can expect your full gallery 6-8 weeks after your wedding day, and if you ordered an album, the design process begins here.
