So, lift up your eyes & open up your heart.

Getting photographs full of emotion requires that you let your guard down. It requires that you’re surrounded by people you love and trust. And it requires honesty and vulnerability.

And for me, that's a good thing! Because the number one thing I hear from my clients is: how comfortable I make them feel.

Hiring a photographer can feel like a trust fall. Let me put all of my life experience to work for you on your wedding day. I promise, I will catch you!

I'll send a custom proposal based on your individual needs. Then, when you're ready to book me, you can let me know with a call, email or text. Just sign your contract, send in your deposit and your date is secured.

Step Three

We'll do a Zoom call to talk more about what you're planning. We'll laugh, chat and get to know one another. And I'll answer any question you may have about the process. Don't worry, I've got you!

Step Two

If I have your date available, I'll quickly send over a questionnaire so I can learn more about who you are. This is really important to me because I value connections and your story deeply!

Step One

Now it's time to take a breath, relax and get excited for how much fun we're about to have together!
