wedding + Engagement photography

You’re looking for more than a photographer. You want someone who will be in your corner from the moment you introduce yourself and long after the wedding day has ended. You appreciate an artist who will give gentle direction and let natural moments unfold. You realize the value in investing in gorgeous, authentic photos for the most important moments in your life.

I believe each wedding is just as unique as the couple. Each of my clients receives three collections tailored to perfectly fit their specific wedding weekend needs. All of my collections include a minimum of 8 hours of coverage, two photographers, and timeline review and collaboration with your wedding planner. I'd love to get to know you, hear about what you're looking for with your wedding photography experience, and decide if we're a great fit.

our process

Meet  |  Once you inquire, I’ll follow up with a phone call to get to know you better. We’ll chat about the details of what you’re dreaming of for your wedding and photography experience. This will allow us to make sure we're the best fit for you and craft your Tailored Proposal with inclusions that feel valuable to you.


step iI.

Reserve Your Date  |  After we’ve connected and gotten to know one another, I’ll send you your Custom Proposal for review. Once you've selected which Tailored Collection you'd like to move forward with, I'll send you contract and invoice to secure your date. 

step iII.

Session  |  For your Engagement Session, you can be certain we’ll have so much fun creating beautiful memories. We’ll meet at your session location wherever your heart desires (a Californian vineyard or sailboat in Montauk sound wonderful!), and I’ll provide simple direction in posing to evoke genuine emotion between you and your love.

step iV.

6 Week Check In  |  At this point, we’ll set up a time to chat on the phone about how you’re feeling and any photo concerns you may have. Then, we’ll collaborate with your planner to craft a timeline that prioritizes the parts of your day that mean most. I’ll send along a questionnaire for you to complete, allowing me to ensure I know every detail going into your wedding day.


step V.

Wedding Day  |  It's here! We'll arrive early to get set up and begin photographing all the moments you don't want to miss.   You can feel confident knowing we’ll navigate your specific wedding day with ease, capture each precious behind-the-scenes moment, and document your people and event with artful excellence.

step VI.

Gallery Delivery + Prints   |  Within ten weeks of your wedding date, you'll receive your stunning online gallery for viewing and downloading your images. You’ll even be able to create a list of favorites, share with friends and family, and utilize the professional print shop directly linked to your gallery to order heirloom-quality print products.
