guaranteed a five-star experience and then some in every package
+ Timeline Support
Step by step support in your timeline creation. I help you discover the things you value most and create a timeline that will reflect those things. No two wedding days look exactly the same, so we collaborate to carve out just the right amount of time (and some wiggle room) so you feel at ease on your day.
+ High Quality Digital Gallery
All of your images are delivered in a high-quality and intentionally crafted final gallery that you can access easily and share immediately. Your galleries are categorized into different moments from the day for easy access while looking through all the goodness.
+ Engagement Session
I value human connection more than anything in this entire process. Because we are with each other all day on your wedding day, I think it's important that we get to know each other beforehand! Because of that, I provide a complimentary engagement session for many of my package options as well as a discounted session if you don’t opt for a package with it already included.
+ 1:1 Planning Meetings
Throughout your planning, we will have multiple 1:1 calls to get to know each other, create your timeline, help you find the perfect vendors, and daydream together. Communication is key so I promise to keep things clear and consistent with you from day 1 to your day.
+ Vendor Resources
I’m a hands-on photographer, so you can reach out at any time for help searching for your hair & makeup artist, florist, caterers, and more in order to tell your story in the way it deserves to be told. If you have a phone, I’m always in your back pocket just a text away.
+ Future Session Discounts
When you join my client family, you have membership for life. (Like literally… LIFE.) If you and your lover want to keep telling your story, I offer you a discount for any future couples sessions (or family sessions!!) you would like to experience.
STARTING AT $3,800
You are here for someone to carry your vision with gentle hands, tell your story in a way that is honest to you and your fiancé, and be a calming presence for all of the things that come on your wedding day (including all the emotions.)
I know that searching for your vendors can feel like intimidating. There are so many talented people in this world and there are so many people with a heart to bring your vision to life - so take a deep breath knowing that on your search you will encounter countless people with a heart to serve.
I know that this is a trust-exercise. I know that you don't take this decision lightly. So I vow as your photographer that I will guide you through every moment - you don't need to worry about awkward poses, fake smiles, or unnecessary rush. I vow to put your peace first, fight for the peace, joy, and love that you want at the center of your wedding day. I vow to help create an environment that represents the holiness of what you both are making the choice to commit to. My heart is that working with me will bring you peace knowing you can delegate your trust to me in order to be fully present.
my vows to you
YOUR INTIMATE WEDDING DESERVES A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT UNDERSTANDS YOUR 'WHY'
STARTING AT $2,200
You don’t see yourself following tradition and throwing a big party because you know that what matters most is spending every second of the most important day of your life with the person you love most. You find comfort in whispering your vows into the wind and trusting nature to hold your secrets.
The best part about an elopement is there is no “right way” or “wrong way” to do things. Your "timeline" is more of a suggestion and your peace comes first. Plus, at the end of the day you have a husband or wife to celebrate with (How cool?!). My role on your elopement day is to notice every little moment and document things as they come naturally.
You can rest easy knowing that I will have a steady hand guiding you along the timeline creation, location scouting, permit research, and even helping you have the conversation with friends and family that won’t be in attendance. Every possible avenue we find ourselves exploring will be a team effort in order to make your elopement as authentically you as possible.
for the intimate lovers
Elopements
starting at $700
Beyond love stories, small businesses are a huge heartbeat to why I do what I do. I love connecting with you, learning the heart behind what you do (your "why"), and being able to represent your business through beautiful imagery .
My branding sessions are meant to have breathing room so we can get creative. We will work together to create a vision board, pick the perfect location (on-site, in-studio, or a combination of the two), and structure it in a way that is going to get you the content you need to share your brand in the most impactful way.
