I'm not about the posed, forced smiles that don't look real. My style is much more natural and easy-going. Right off the bat I want to get to know you to get a feel for how I can best capture you in a beautiful way. I like to use movement in a lot of my prompts for photos to create real laughs and moments. If you can give me your trust and be yourselves during the time we spend together, I promise you will get images that you will adore because you can see your real selves in them and not something else you thought you had to be.

Trust and connection goes such a long ways in photography. When there is trust and connection there, that is when I create my best work. My number one goal is to make my couples feel comfortable and just have a genuine great time. Many of my couples at the beginning of the session will say “Sorry in advance for our awkwardness, we're don't know how to pose”, and at the end of our session they're telling me how much easier and fun the session went than they thought. Trust me when I tell you I will guide you every step of the way and make it so that getting photos done doesn't have to be a chore.

Don't get me wrong, I love the meaningful traditions involved in your typical wedding day, but my adventurous side is so ready when you want to break the traditions and make the day your own. Want to jump in the river during the day? Or elope and end the night at a concert or festival? Let's do it! Wear a colorful wedding dress? Make it your own. My best advice for couples is to not give in to any pressure that family or friends have or what they think their wedding day needs to be, but instead do what your heart desires.

I want photography to be more than something on your checklist of things to do for your wedding. You might not realize it now while you’re so focused on centerpieces, and seating arrangement, and bridesmaid dress styles, and florals— but photography is really one of the only things that you have that is really tangible after your wedding day. The most common thing I hear from couples who went cheap on photos for their wedding is how much they regret it and wish they would have invested more. The significance of photos only increases over time as the images get passed down for generations.

My style is not one specific coloring or pose, because each couple I meet has a different story to tell and I want to capture exactly that. I will focus on how I can use the lighting, setting, and style of the couple to create the most artistic images from the moment we are given. I love photos that feel natural and are not so posed so I'll give you prompts that feel more like you are on a date just loving on each other how you normally would to create a real moment. I make sure that the way I’m interacting, shooting, and editing reflects who my couples are and how the session actually felt. This way you can remember your partner's goofy laugh or soft touch that your photos will show that you will treasure forever.

This likely is your first time being a bride or groom so you might be just figuring it all out as you go. Since I’ve been to many weddings and have collected a handful of helpful tips when it comes to all the timeline and details of the day. What to do and not to do, what is worth investing in, how to get the most out of this experience, and plenty of other tips on how to get ready for your wedding I’ll make sure and share with you. I’m happy to help in any way that I can to make sure this is a stress-free experience for you!
