Before the camera comes out
Good photographs start
with a conversation.
My older clients often described me as feeling like part of the celebration. That has always mattered to me. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, telling me what you love, and being yourselves.
We’ll talk about the way you want the photographs to feel, your family, your traditions, and any moments that need extra care. Then we’ll shape the photography around the day you are actually planning.

Here’s how it unfolds.
- 01
Tell me your plans.
We’ll confirm your date, talk about your venue and priorities, and choose the coverage that makes sense. You’ll receive a clear proposal before making a decision.
- 02
Get comfortable.
An engagement session gives us time to work together before the wedding. It’s included with Signature and Heirloom, and available with Coastal.
- 03
Make room for the day.
We’ll build a photography timeline with your planner or coordinator, plan your family groups, and account for portraits, travel, and the light.
- 04
Enjoy your people.
I’ll guide the portraits and group photographs, then observe what unfolds. A second photographer, when included, adds another perspective and helps cover separate preparations.
- 05
Relive it, beautifully.
I carefully select and edit your photographs into a coherent story. Your high-resolution online gallery is ready to download and share, with personal printing rights.
- 06
Make it part of home.
If you’d like an album, we can choose a format and design together. Heirloom includes a $750 album credit; other collections can add an album through a custom proposal.
You might be wondering
Comfort comes from knowing.
We feel awkward in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all. You don’t need to arrive knowing how to pose. I’ll give you clear, gentle direction and make space for conversation, movement, and the expressions that feel like you.
Will you photograph our family groups and traditions?
Yes. We’ll discuss your important family combinations, cultural or religious traditions, and must-have photographs in advance. Let me know about sensitive family situations so I can guide those moments thoughtfully.
Can you work in a dark church or reception?
My work includes indoor ceremonies and evening celebrations as well as beaches. I plan for changing light and bring professional cameras, lenses, and lighting. I respect venue restrictions, including ceremonies where flash is not permitted.
What if the weather changes?
We’ll discuss indoor or covered portrait options and coordinate with your venue and planner. A beach wedding’s backup plan should be agreed before the day. Weather-related changes to the booking are governed by your agreement.
Do you provide video or drone coverage?
My earlier work included video and aerial coverage, and some historical reviews mention those services. The current collections are photography-only. If you want a film or aerial work, ask for a separate proposal; staffing, venue rules, weather, and flight permissions determine what is possible.
How many images will we receive?
The final number depends on the hours, guest count, events, and pace of your day. I deliver a carefully selected story rather than a fixed quota of near-duplicate frames. Every delivered photograph is professionally edited.
How long will the editing take?
Plan on approximately 6–8 weeks for your finished wedding gallery. We’ll confirm the expected delivery schedule in your proposal. Older reviews reflect the timing and services of those individual bookings.
