It's my biggest desire to make my couples look and feel confident in front of the camera. My usual couples have no camera experience but also want to be really fabulous in all their images- that's what I am here for!  

Working with me you can expect confident and specific direction. You'll never wonder if you look weird or have to ask what to do with your hands. I am going to give you simple and clear instruction so that instead of worrying about what you look like, your brain can focus on having FUN and marrying the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE! I've found that the way I lead and pose my clients gives them so much more room to relax and really be themselves- which photographs so amazing because guess what- you look like a model AND that model is YOU!! 

Outside of supporting you just when I am with you in person, each of my Brides receive a complimentary Bridal Guide- an extensive 78 page document that tells you all you need to know and what to expect on your wedding day to make sure everything goes seamlessly. You'll learn things like: what my typical photography timeline looks like, what a detail box is and what goes in it, how to pick outfits for your engagements session that photograph best and make you look and feel amazing, and more!

In the midst of all of this, my couples leave feeling like they have gained a new friend, not just a wedding vendor. I want to learn what you love, what makes you laugh, and what makes the two of you perfect for each other, not just because it helps me capture your love even better on camera, but also because this is not a transaction to me. It's a relationship that starts here and continues with me shouting from the roof tops when you buy your first home, celebrate your anniversaries, grow your family, and everything in between! I don't say it lightly when I say it would be an HONOR to capture your love story, because your wedding may be one day but your marriage is forever!
