My Process:

01 / inquiry + discovery

Once you reach out, I’ll send over a quick form so I can get to know more about your day. We’ll schedule a call to talk through your vision, what’s important to you, and see if our vibes align and if we are a good fit.

02 / booking your date

Once you’ve chosen your package, I’ll send over your custom proposal and contract. A 50% retainer officially secures your date on my calendar.

03 / planning support

I am here for you, not only to document anything and everything you cherish day-of, but to consult on the planning process, to lend my years of experience, and help be a guide before, during, and after your special day, every step of the way. 

04 / the wedding day

I will arrive early, blend in naturally, and document every moment as it unfolds; giving direction only when needed and striking the perfect balance of candids and artfully composed images.

05 / gallery delivery

I aim to deliver a highlight gallery within 7 days of your wedding day, with full gallery delivery within 6–8 weeks. You’ll be able to relive your day through an private online gallery, with options to download, print, and share.

Frequently Asked


When is the best time to book?

The sooner you lock in a date with me, the sooner we can get the ball rolling on planning your session. Wedding dates tend to book further in advance, but I do plenty of last minute bookings for Engagement Proposals and City Hall elopements. It never hurts to start the planning process with me sooner though. 

For weddings and elopements, I recommend booking at least 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak dates. For couples sessions, 2 to 3 months in advance is ideal, but feel free to inquire earlier if you already have a date in mind.

Let's chat asap!

when will we receive our images?

Turnaround time varies by booking. I aim to have a highlight gallery delivered within 72 hours for sessions, 7 days for weddings & elopements. Full gallery delivery for proposals & couples sessions, within 1-2 weeks, elopements & micro-weddings typically within 6-8 weeks. Your finished images will be delivered in a private, password protected online gallery.

how many images will we receive?

Every wedding and session is different, but I will deliver a wide range of thoughtfully curated moments, as many images as are needed, to tell your unique story to its fullest-the big, the small, and everything in between, meticulously edited in my signature style. 

How do we book with you?

Start by filling out the inquiry form with your date and what you're dreaming up. I will get back to you ASAP with availability, package details, and next steps. If our vibes align and we feel like a good fit, a signed contract and 50% retainer is all we need in order to secure your date.

Do you deliver unedited images?

I do not send RAW or unedited images. Every image I deliver is meticulously edited so that your final images meet the aesthetic my work is known for, and achieve the level of perfection I demand from myself. I will always deliver images that are ready to print and ready to show off to family and friends.

I studied fine art, but started photographing events when photojournalism was en vogue. I came up as a documentarian, which is very hands off. But as I've evolved, I've learned that every client and every session is a little different. There are times when I need to be very hands on, to direct groups, place couples in specific locations and give them instructions on how to pose, what to do with their bodies, their hands, etc. I am typically hands on during portrait sessions and group/family photos, and very hands off for the rest of the day. I want you to be able to enjoy your whole day, especially the moments when we are making portraits, and when it comes to ceremony and reception, I am very documentary, capturing everything as it unfolds. There are elements that need to be directed in order to tell that part of your story, and other elements that are free flowing and happening naturally. I am here to guide you when necessary, to lend my knowledge and expertise, and to creatively problem-solve where needed. And when not, stand back, fade into the background, and be the fly-on-the-wall documentarian that captures your joy, your emotion, and your celebration.

If that sounds like your vibe, I would love to chat about what I can do for you, and what magic we can create together!
