Why is wedding photography important?

Wedding planning is a lot, and sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the why. Your wedding day is this beautiful, whirlwind blur of laughter, tears, ,& moments you might not even realize are happening in real time. Wedding photography is what slows it all down. It lets you relive the way you looked at each other during the vows, the happy tears your parents tried to hide, and all the little unscripted moments in between.

These photos become your forever. They're what you’ll show your kids one day, what you’ll flip through on anniversaries, and what will remind you of exactly why you chose each other. It’s your story, told in the most honest, heartfelt way.

What do you mean you shoot film + digital?

As a wedding photographer that uses film I like to incorporate the look of film & digital during a wedding day. I will shoot 95% of your wedding on a digital camer, but I like to include the look of film with a film camera + a polaroid. The film gives a beautiful unique grainy look that can not be accomplished with a digital camera. I like to deliver the clean look of the digital with the grainy look of the film. I edit my digitals with a clean style along with some filmy like presets. I may shoot a few polaroids on your day. I just think it is a unique aspect + special to have something that developed the day of your wedding. When deciding on your wedding collection, you can add more film to a package or take away film altogether if you prefer. Most wedding collections you have to add film to if you want it included in your day.

Can I customize my own package?

Yes! That is one aspect of how I run my business that I love giving to my couples. Every love is different + every wedding is different. I give basic wedding collection options to make it easier to book, but there is always the option to design your own package.

How would you describe your style of shooting?

I love to shoot artistically raw, very in the moment. I like to show emotion in photos & I think wind in your hair is beautiful. I love imperfections + your own messy love story to show through along with the beautiful classy traditional shots. I want your photos to stand the test of time & remain classic & timeless.

Do you shoot the traditional photos too?

YES! I will make sure I get all the classic + important photos of you day. I will get all the decor decorations, moments in between, the family photos, the wedding party photos + all the photos needed to describe your day.

Do I need a second shooter?

It depends on your preference and your style of wedding. If it is a smaller more intimate wedding then most of the time a second shooter isn’t needed. If it is a bigger wedding with a lot going on & details to capture, then a second shooter could be preferred to insure all the important details of the day are captured.

Do you have backup equipment?

Of course, I shoot with two main digital cameras during the day & have a 3rd on hand as BACKUP. no worries there.

How many hours of coverage do I need?

This depends on your style of wedding & budget. Smaller shorter weddings of course need less hours.

To save on your budget you can also cut out certain photographing aspects and time.

I started my business in 2010. I am from the United States now living in Canada with my Canadian husband. I have shot in US, Canada + all over Europe. I received my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from Mississippi College that helps a lot with my eye and workflow.

How do you edit?

I edit for color correction and major flaws in photos. I use a few personalized minimal presets that i designed to give your photos a beautiful look that will stay classic and timeless. I also use a few presets that emulate film.

How long until i receive my photos?

If it is an Engagement Session/Portrait Session, around 2 weeks after the shoot. You will receive a preview a day or two after the shoot. For a wedding it is usually 4-6 weeks depending on how busy i am. I send a preview of around 20 photos a day or two after your wedding. You will first receive your digital photos through an online gallery + the final package is delivered usually 2-4 weeks after the digital gallery (depending on if you ordered an album or prints)

What is a Digital Gallery?

It is the digital way of receiving your photos. It is easy to view & share photos with anyone you want. You will receive a link to your gallery where all your photos will be. You will be able to download the photos from your digital gallery directly onto your computer or phone.

Yes! When you RECEIVE your digital gallery there will be a store attached within the gallery where you can order prints, albums etc. right within the gallery.

Tell me more about how a Boudoir Session works?

I totally get that boudoir can feel a little intimidating at first, but it’s one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. Whether you're doing it as a gift or just because you deserve to feel amazing, a boudoir session is about capturing your confidence, strength, and beauty in a way that’s completely personal to you.

We’ll start with a conversation. We’ll chat about the mood you’re going for. We’ll go over outfit ideas, where the shoot will take place, and exactly what you’re comfortable with.

When the day comes, it’s relaxed & pressure-free. I’ll guide you through every pose & expression so you never feel lost we will laugh alot and loosen up as we go! You don’t need to be a perfect size or have your perfect body.

By the end, you’ll not only have gorgeous photos — you’ll walk away with a serious confidence boost. Most people say they come in nervous and leave feeling more beautiful than ever before.

Thank you, see you on your

wedding day or for a session…
