Most couples reserve their date several months in advance, which allows plenty of time for planning and for scheduling an engagement session if you’d like one.
That said, if your wedding is coming up sooner, you’re always welcome to reach out. If I have your date available, I’d be happy to talk through your plans.
After we’ve had a chance to connect and talk through your wedding plans, I’ll send over a contract and invoice to move forward together.
To officially reserve your date, I simply need a signed contract and a $500 non-refundable retainer. Once those are completed, your wedding day is secured on my calendar.
Yes, I love traveling for weddings. I’ve photographed celebrations all along the East Coast, and my passport is always ready for beautiful destination celebrations as well.
When travel is involved, I simply add the cost of travel to your collection. I only charge for the travel expenses themselves, not for my time.
Feeling a little awkward in front of the camera is completely normal, I promise you’re not alone. My approach is calm and natural, and I’ll gently guide you throughout the process so you’re never left wondering what to do.
Rather than stiff poses, I use simple direction to help you settle into natural moments together. The result is images that feel relaxed, genuine, and full of real emotion.
Absolutely. I work with you, and your planner if you have one, to create a photography timeline that fits naturally within the flow of your wedding day. From the moment I arrive to the final moments of the evening, I make sure there’s time set aside for all the meaningful photos.
If anything needs adjusting along the way, I’m always happy to coordinate with your planner so the day feels calm, seamless, and well cared for.
I come to every wedding with a mental list of the important moments and details that are part of a full wedding day, so you never have to worry about the essentials being missed.
If there are specific photos that are meaningful to you, I’m always happy to make note of them ahead of time. The only list I typically work from on the day itself is for family formals, which helps that portion of the day move smoothly and efficiently.
Absolutely. Wedding day details are one of my favorite parts of the day. With my background in wedding stationery, I especially love photographing invitations and paper goods, the very first glimpse your guests have of your celebration.
These pieces help tell the full story of your day. From invitations and heirloom items to carefully chosen details, I capture them in a way that feels romantic, intentional, and beautifully preserved for years to come.
Yes, my husband Josh is my second photographer, and we photograph weddings together as a team. He often joins me for engagement sessions as well, giving you the chance to get to know both of us before the wedding day.
Having someone I trust completely by my side allows the day to flow naturally. While I’m capturing one part of the story, Josh is there documenting the other, ensuring the full experience of your day is thoughtfully preserved.
Beyond his photography, Josh brings a calm, easygoing presence that helps everyone feel comfortable, especially during the guys’ getting-ready moments.
I typically deliver 50–100 carefully curated images per hour of coverage. My goal is always to capture the full story of your wedding day, from the big, emotional moments to the quiet in-between ones.
I photograph with intention but also with attentiveness to the little moments unfolding throughout the day, so your final gallery reflects the complete experience of your celebration.
Your images will be delivered through a beautiful online gallery that makes it easy to browse, download, and share your photos with family and friends. The gallery will be organized into sections so you can easily relive each part of your celebration, and it will also be accessible through your client portal alongside your documents.
Yes, absolutely. Your images are delivered in high resolution with full printing rights, allowing you to print them wherever you’d like.
That said, I do recommend printing through my approved professional lab. I’ve worked with them extensively and trust their quality to ensure your photographs are beautifully produced and preserved for years to come.
I deliver a small sneak peek from your wedding day within 48 hours, so you’ll have a few beautiful moments to relive and share right away.
Your full gallery is typically delivered within 4–8 weeks. I take great care while editing to ensure your images are thoughtfully curated and beautifully finished, and many couples receive their gallery even sooner.
