THE kind of MOMENTS
HONEST CONNECTION
PLANNING & PREPARATION
You are not just another couple you are real people. You have a story that I am excited to get to know and document.
POSING & DIRECTION
I promise to tell you what to do with your hands, but most importantly, I will create an atmosphere where you still feel like yourself but look your absolute best.
LIGHTING & COMPOSITION
I believe in having a plan, but also going with the flow. I will collaborate with your planner/coordinator to ensure we have the right amount of time to document everything.
my expertise
Indoor Wedding? Winter Wedding? Rainy Day? You don't have to worry about compromising on beautiful, high quality images. I've invested the time and resources to learning the art of good lighting for any situation.
of trust and relationship.
emerge from a place
I hold the firm belief that the key to all these beautiful, heartfelt, make-your-cheeks-hurt-from-smiling kind of moments you’re dreaming of -
custom proposal
... is the simple truth that no two couples, stories or wedding days are the same. For this reason I choose to custom tailor all wedding collections once we have had the opportunity to chat via consultation call. It's important for me to get to know you and your needs, and for you to get to know me, my style and personality to make sure I'm the perfect fit for your day.
