Weddings
Perfectly Imperfect. This is what I want out of a wedding day. The phrase is a reminder that we don't need to be perfect to have images that feel perfect. It's about embracing the flaws and imperfections, and understanding that they are a part of what makes this day so unique and special.
The true beauty of a wedding day doesn't come from the perfect dress, or flowers, or budget, it comes from embracing the unplanned. Sometimes things run smoothly, and sometimes it rains, or we get a little behind. But you know what? That's ok. I want to capture it all. The ugly crying, the messy rooms, I love it and I love it when my couples embrace it too. My style is definitely a mix of posed, prompted, and a little bit of documentary. I love classic and timeless images, but I'm also not afraid to try something new or different to fit my couple. I love warm and golden images and playing around with light, but most of all, I love it when my couples get to be themselves.
I hope you are excited, because I am definitely excited!

FAQs
How many pictures do I get?
Long story short, I do not put a "cap" on the number of images you’ll receive in your final wedding gallery. I believe in delivering every moment, detail, and emotion captured throughout your day. However, the total number of images can vary based on several factors:
1. Hours of Coverage: The more hours booked, the more moments I can capture, from getting ready to the final send-off.
2. Weather Conditions: Outdoor weddings or events with unpredictable weather may impact photo opportunities but also create unique, beautiful moments.
3. Size of the Wedding Party: Larger wedding parties often mean more group shots, candid moments, and interactions to document (will also take more time)
4. Family Portrait List: A detailed and extensive list of requested family groupings will increase the total number of photos (will also take more time)
I aim to deliver a well-rounded gallery that tells the full story of your wedding day, tailored to your specific vision and needs, but the total amount of photos delivered do vary based on the factors. On average, I usually deliver around 75 images per hour booked.
How Lighting, Weather, Colors, and Location Impact Your Wedding Photos
The overall look of your final wedding gallery is influenced by several key factors that create the unique atmosphere of your day. Here’s how these elements can shape your photos:
1. Lighting:
- Sunny Days: Bright, natural lighting creates vibrant, airy photos with crisp details and colors.
- Overcast Days: Cloudy skies diffuse light, resulting in soft, moodier, and more dramatic tones. While darker, this type of lighting can add depth and romance to your images.
2. Weather:
- Rain or wind can bring an adventurous and unique feel to your photos. These elements (while sometimes can cause worry on a wedding day), often create spontaneous and emotional moments that stand out in your gallery. We can't reschedule your wedding day due to weather, but we can make the best possible day out of it.
3. Wedding Colors:
- Your chosen color palette—flowers, décor, bridal party attire—sets the tone for your photos. Lighter colors may reflect a bright and airy feel, while darker, jewel-toned hues can contribute to a richer, more dramatic aesthetic.
4. Location:
- Scenic outdoor venues with natural backdrops, such as beaches or gardens, often result "brighter" shots.
- Indoor venues, such as chapels or ballrooms, may create a more intimate, focused feel with a controlled lighting environment, that can make your images feel a little bit more "moody."
Every wedding is unique, and these factors combine to make your gallery a true reflection of your day. Photos taken at an all white venue are naturally going to look different, than an all brown barn. Having realistic expectations are very important so you are not disappointed with your final gallery. I do my best to post pictures in as many different lighting situations as possible on my social media, but I am more than willing to send some full galleries for you to look through.
I don't need an Engagement Session, will this impact the package price?
Getting to know you is extremely important to me when it comes to shooting your wedding day, that is why I include a complimentary Engagement Session with my main packages. I like to see how you interact with each other, and it's great practice for me and for y'all before wedding day. I always encourage my couples to do an Engagement session with me, even if you have already done one with another photographer. Because the session is complimentary (FREE), it does not impact the overall cost of your package. It can be swapped for a Bridal Session, but it cannot be swapped for an additional shooter or more hours of coverage.
