Imagine Your Dream

Wedding Day

Imagine this… You and your partner are hand in hand, filled with adrenaline and enjoying one of the best days of your life. You’ve successfully said your “I Do’s” without passing out from anxiety, all of your guests are having a great time, and you can finally indulge in some hors d'oeuvres and drinks. After taking the most beautiful wedding photos that you’ve ever seen, you get to party all night with your favorite people, and eat all of the dessert that your heart desires (without judgement). A seamless wedding day like this (well, as seamless as possible) is only possible with a fantastic vendor team. From your wedding planner to your photographer, having reliable and professional vendors on your side will make all of the difference.

That’s where I come in!

With me as your wedding photographer, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that I’m equipped with plenty of experience to ensure your precious moments are captured authentically. From helping to create your wedding photography timeline to giving pose suggestions on your wedding day, I am with you every step of the way. Not only am I your photographer, but I am a wedding resource for any question you may have, I’m a listening ear when the day feels too overwhelming, and I’m even your dance partner if you want to get a little crazy on the dance floor.

No matter what happens throughout your wedding journey, I am with you from the very beginning.

Let's Get This Party Started!

What To Expect

During Your Photoshoot?

One things for certain, you can expect to have a good time! The best images are natural moments between you and your partner or loved ones. I strive for authenticity by creating a comfortable atmosphere for you to be yourselves. You may feel nervous in the beginning and ask me, “what do I do with my hands?!”, but by the end of the session, you’ll leave full of smiles. Photos are supposed to make you feel good, and that’s what I hope to achieve after every session.

Life is precious and the memories created with loved ones are one of a kind. When you’re old and grey and all you have left are photos, it won’t matter how much they cost. What matters is the luxury of being able to look back on the beautiful life you’ve created. Invest in yourself and your memories, they’re priceless.
