Hiring a wedding photographer is about so much more than just finding someone who takes pretty pictures. It’s about finding someone who sees you, your connection, and your people. A wedding photographer who captures your story with care, creativity, and honesty. When you hire me, you’re not just booking someone to show up and snap the “must-have” shots. You’re inviting someone into one of the most intimate, emotional, and joy-filled days of your life. I take that responsibility seriously, and it’s one of the greatest honors of my work. When booking me as your wedding photographer, you’ll get someone whose goal is to tell the full story of your wedding day.
Your wedding day isn’t a styled shoot — I believe it’s a real, lived-in experience, and my job is to document it in a way that feels authentic to you. From the quiet, unnoticed glances to the loud, joyful laughter. My focus is on telling the full story, start to finish. To make space for that, I try my hardest to plan extra buffer time into your timeline. This means I’m not rushing or constantly directing. Instead, I get to be present, watch for real moments, and let things unfold naturally. This allows me to capture the essence of your day both unscripted and emotionally rich. Before your wedding, you’ll also receive a detailed pre-wedding questionnaire that helps me understand what matters most to you. Whether it’s your grandma carrying your train to the first look, or a small nod to someone who can’t be there. I’m here to steward those moments intentionally.
If you’re considering hiring a photographer for your wedding, here’s what it looks like when you invite me into your story. Firstly, I believe the details are more than just flat-lays. They’re the whole mood, atmosphere, creativity, and memory of your day. It means so much when couples share the vision behind the details they’ve poured their hearts into for months. Whether it’s your ceremony setup, heirloom jewelry, or a handwritten note, I see these elements as an extension of your story. They deserve to be captured thoughtfully and artfully — and yes, I’ll always make space to get creative with them to make each shot uniquely yours. These small moments make beautiful wall art and photo album additions that bring your day rushing back in the best way.
Secondly, my editing style is designed to reflect the real colors of your day, not to warp or dull them. Your greens will stay green, your blush tones won’t turn orange, and the vibrant beauty you spent time curating will show up authentically in your photos. Depending on your venue’s lighting and vibe, I also love incorporating soft natural light, direct flash, and low-light photography when the mood calls for it. This blend allows your gallery to feel dynamic and layered. Balancing emotional, candid moments with polished portraits and a little edge.
Lastly, you won’t find me shouting instructions across the room or turning your day into a photoshoot. My approach is calm, grounded, and intuitive. I move with intention, treating your people with the same care and presence I give to you. Yes, we’ll get all your must-have group shots and portraits. But you’ll also receive those in-between moments: your best friend tearing up during the vows, your mom fixing your veil, your grandpa’s proud smile across the room. These are the images that tell the story you felt, not just the one you saw. Throughout your day, I’ll offer ideas, direction when needed, and creative input. But you remain in control. Want more candids and less posing? Done. Have a vision for golden hour portraits or guest group shots? I’m all in. My goal is to deliver a gallery that reflects your personalities, your priorities, and the energy of your day with a mix of timeless classics, heartfelt emotions, and creative storytelling.
I enter weddings preparing to be intentional, calm, and creative. That means you won’t get a loud, “Yes queen!” photographer who takes over the room. Instead, you’ll get one that’s personable with everyone from the bridesmaids to the grandparents. One that values the soft moments and connections the most. My heart is in capturing the in-between moments just as much as the big ones, because your story deserves to be told fully, not just on your wedding day. Finding an aligned wedding photographer who truly understands your relationship, personalities, and what matters most to you makes all the difference in creating photos that feel authentic to your story.
