Proposal

Hello and thank you for sharing your vision and story with me. I am both honored and excited that you are considering working with me. I invite you to view the collections below. Each has been tailored to fit your needs while staying true to the timeless sophistication I weave into all aspects of my work.

I use a refined storytelling technique to capture a compelling narrative with every photograph. My approach to wedding photography lets you savor the significance of the moment with an eye for the smallest of details. True to life, and framed by modern romance.

the core of my work

A Curated, Connection Based Approach

There is a vast range of emotions, beauty and depth to be found in the details and human connections of wedding celebrations, if you only know where to look.

Holding A Reverence For Real Emotions

These are the seasons you will relive, and these are the photographs that will remind you how it all felt. 

Elevate Memories Unbound by Time

Preserving life's unrepeatable moments requires careful attention, a people-centered approach, and a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship that reveals the deeper layers of each experience

Where We Go From Here

01. Customize

Please email me with your selected collection and any needed adjustments. We’ll finalize the paperwork with a contract and invoice payment. From there, the anticipation and preparation will begin.

02. Consider

While the two of you continue to celebrate this exciting milestone of your life, I will take the time to gain a careful understanding of you as a couple and as individuals. The more we get to know each other, the more I will be able to anticipate your needs and wants the day of, creating an effortless and seamless experience. 

03. Capture

The only remaining task for you is to soak up each moment. Every thought and detail has been planned and poured into this celebration just for you. I’ll encourage you to stay connected to the present while I expertly capture the once-in-a-lifetime day you have designed and planned.

Next Steps

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT DURING THE WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS?

frequently asked questions →

As your photographer, I will make every effort to contribute to a seamless experience. Much of this comes down to full and easy communication with you, and partnering with your planner to coordinate as needed. I’ll work with you and your planner to build an organic photography timeline that is conducive to your experience, enhancing each moment rather than taking away from your enjoyment.

WILL YOU POSE OR DIRECT US WHILE YOU DOCUMENT OUR WEDDING?

My approach is a tailored mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on the moment. I can sense when you’re carrying tension or feeling anxious, and will provide pointers to help you ease into the moment for naturally beautiful photos. You can expect careful guidance, simple posing, and encouragement to just be yourself. At the end of the day it is your wedding and I'm here to capture the vision you have.

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT MAKES A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPH?

An incredible photo is the one that you find yourself returning to with fondness throughout your life. So, I would say that the best wedding photographs are more than timing, posing, backgrounds, and lighting. A large part of creating a beautiful photo is capturing the real moments so you can look back and feel genuinely immersed in this time of celebration. 

CLOSE

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?

You’ll receive a complete collection of professionally edited photographs in a private online gallery. Each image will be carefully edited to enhance the beauty of the moment while remaining true to your lived experience. These can be downloaded, shared and printed with ease.

CLOSE

HOW DO WE BOOK OUR DATE(S) WITH YOU?

Reach out, and I’ll send booking materials with your preferred option. You can officially book your date(s) with a signed contract and service retainer.
