A Documentary Approach Grounded in Connection

Searching for your documentary wedding photographer is such an exciting part of the planning process. While many pieces of your wedding day will come and go, your photographs will remain—becoming the way you remember your day for years to come. We believe your images should reflect your relationship, your people, and the love that ties it all together.

Our team takes pride in going above and beyond—supporting you throughout your day and documenting every moment exactly as it felt.

You can expect true-to-life colors, honest connection, and heartfelt, authentic moments that reflect the story unfolding in front of us. From start to finish, we are here to care, guide, and create a seamless experience so your images feel as meaningful as the memories themselves.

Where Emotion Takes the Lead, I’m There to Tell the Story

Telling your story through the lens of my camera is my passion. Every wedding portrait is guided by emotion—from the quiet moments as you get ready, to the joy reflected in the faces of the people who mean the most to you. Just as many photographers are driven by the pursuit of beautiful light, I’m drawn to anticipating emotion—capturing the moments you’ll be able to feel every time you look back at them.

My goal is to create a calm, joyful experience from beginning to end, allowing your day to unfold naturally while I document it with intention. I’m here to capture your big moments—and all the meaningful ones in between—well beyond your expectations, delivering memories meant to last a lifetime.

The Process of Booking your Wedding Photographer

1. Inquire & Consult

You found your way here and you'd love to learn more. Once you inquire, I will reach out with a time to book a free consultation. These are usually 30 minutes. Together we will review my packages and discuss what is most important to you. I will promptly deliver customized packages and sample timelines to ensure you have enough hours booked. 

2. Secure Your Date 

After your free consultation and after you have selected a package, I will send you a full proposal. Inside you will have your invoice and complete contract for your review. A 25% non-refundable retainer fee and signed contract is due at booking. With the remainder of your invoice due 30 days from your wedding date. 

3. Planning

Now it is time to start planning. I send all my clients a Wedding Guide full of tips and tricks I have learned along the way. At this stage, we will discuss your engagement session, timeline consultation, and family formals, and even support you in securing other vendors.
