All love, always. LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC are seen and loved here. All bodies are accepted and loved here. All people are welcome here!

WHAT TO EXPECT
Support and Guidance: From the moment you book me to photograph your wedding, you can expect to feel supported throughout the process. If you have questions, I'm here to answer. If you need some hype, I'm happy to provide it. If you're stressed on wedding day, I'll dance it out with you. You'll also receive and engagement session guide and a wedding guide full of info!
Comfort: The goal from the get-go is for you and your partner to feel comfortable. I aim to be completely myself so that you two can do the same. Working with me ensures a safe space to be you. And the more comfortable you feel, the easier photos will feel!
Fun: Life's too short not to have a DANG good time while being photographed and on your wedding day. You can absolutely expect really corny jokes, singing my thoughts, giggles, and dancing. Lots of dancing. Even if there's not music playing.
Intentionality: No two love stories or wedding days are the same. You can expect me to show up with all the unique details you've shared with me in mind so your day is captured in a way that's truly authentic to you.

FAQ
I currently have 3 different packages that are based on hours of coverage (6, 8, and 10). They each include an engagement session, online gallery, and print release so you can print your images using an outside source (if you choose to do so). I will let you know which package will best suit your needs, and packages can always be customized.
