From meticulous preparation to meaningful artistry.
Philosophy
the approach
I believe life deserves to be captured in a real and beautiful way. My photography style is elegant and authentic because you deserve magazine worthy images that feel just like you. I believe your images should be a reflection of who you are, so at the core of my experience, I want to get to know you. And when you are in front of my camera, I'll invite you to relax and focus on each other as I walk you through every step of the process. You'll forget you are even being photographed as I capture those beautiful moments and once-in-a-lifetime images that naturally happen between two people in love.
FAQS
WHY FILM?
As a hybrid photographer, I shoot with a mixture of film and digital. Film is beautiful, timeless, and captures the stunning light, details, and elegance of your love story. But there are moments where digital shines and film falls short. On your wedding day, I will choose my medium based on what will most beautifully bring your day to life. Any digital images shot are edited to seamlessly flow with my film images.
DO WE NEED TO BE WORKING WITH A PLANNER BEFORE WE INQUIRE?
I require all wedding clients to be working with a full-service planning & design team before they reserve their date with me. I'm honored to have been able to work with some of the very best planners in the industry world-wide, and would be thrilled to connect you with a team who is a wonderful fit.
WHAT IS THE TYPICAL TURN AROUND TIME?
Weddings are delivered in 6-8 weeks and all other sessions are delivered in 3 weeks.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
Yes, I have a team that includes a minimum of two photographers at every event. And depending on the scope of the event, there may be additional photographers & assistants that are a part of my team.
WILL YOU TRAVEL FOR ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
I love to travel and do so for almost every single one of my weddings & engagement sessions. Your engagement session does not have to be in the same location as your wedding. Simply mention your vision when you inquire and I am happy to accommodate.
WE AREN'T VERY NATURAL IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WILL YOU HELP US?
Wonderful, then you're my favorite kind of couple to work with. Being photographed is intimidating to nearly everyone. I believe that it is my job to create an environment where you feel safe and are able to relax and simply enjoy each other and the people around you.
We'll begin slowly as I show you my secrets to carrying yourself in an elegant way. And as you begin to feel confident and comfortable, I'll introduce more movement and cinematic directions, and together we'll create the evocative, emotive, and editorial images that you see in my portfolio. I've spent years honing my directing skills, and helping you feel comfortable and look incredible is one of my favorite parts of this experience.
