My photography style blends timeless elegance, natural light, and film-inspired tones—creating imagery that feels elevated, genuine, and true to the spirit of your day. But beyond how your photos look, it’s the experience I offer that truly sets my work apart.
From our first conversation, I take time to understand each bride’s vision and every groom’s priorities. I approach each wedding with care and intentionality, paying close attention to the small details, the personal touches, and the people who make your day meaningful. Whether it’s the delicate lace on your dress, a quiet glance shared during vows, or a heartfelt hug from a grandparent—these are the moments I preserve with purpose.
On your wedding day, I bring a calm, supportive presence—knowing when to gently guide and when to simply observe. I work seamlessly with planners and vendors, so you can remain fully present while I document everything unfolding around you.
The result is a gallery of images that not only looks beautiful but tells your story in a way that feels honest, heartfelt, and entirely your own.
become a Pure Joy
- Proverbs 31 : 25 / 26
The journey begins with your inquiry. You’ll share the heart behind your day — your story, your vision, the details that already feel like home. I welcome it all. This is where the relationship begins, and it matters deeply to me to understand who you are and how I can honor your story well. From there, I''ll send a general collection guide, listing the price, breaking down all that is included that best fits the needs you described, you'll review, and if you're interested in moving forward with booking- it's time for step two!
Every wedding day is unique — and your photography experience should be too. We’ll schedule a call to connect, talk through what’s most important to you, and dream together. From there, I’ll create a custom collection that reflects your values and vision. Booking is simple, sent directly to your inbox you'll receive a contract, questionnaire, and retainer invoice.
Bridal portraits are a timeless tradition — one that allows space to honor you, the sacredness of this season, and the dress chosen with so much care. Many brides use this as a hair and makeup trial, making it both practical and purposeful. But more than that, it’s a moment to slow down, feel the weight of your gown, and truly see yourself as a bride. These portraits are often among the most cherished. *Not included in all collections*
With intention and clarity, I’ll walk alongside you throughout the planning process. We will schedule 2-3 calls to discuss planning progress & expectations. I’ll collaborate with your planner and/or vendor team as needed and craft a photography timeline that supports a smooth, peaceful day. You’ll receive this about one to two months before the wedding — created thoughtfully with your priorities in mind.
The week after your wedding, you’ll receive a curated sneak peek — a glimpse into the beauty and emotion of the day. Your full gallery will be delivered within eight weeks, filled with refined, emotive imagery that tells your story with honesty and grace. I’ll also guide you through preserving your photographs through heirloom albums and fine art prints — treasures for generations to come. *Some collections include heirloom pieces / prints*
Your story doesn’t end here. It’s my greatest joy to continue documenting the sacred seasons to come — whether it’s a growing family, a Christmas portrait session, or tender everyday moments. These photographs become part of your legacy, and it is my honor to continue to be part of your story.
These sessions are more than a warm-up for the wedding day — they’re a chance to pause, connect, and be fully yourselves. It’s a relaxed, meaningful time where we get to know each other and create images that reflect this beautiful, in-between season of becoming one.
