MY STYLE
My approach to shooting weddings is both intentional and honest. I’m always looking to find that intersection between what is beautiful and what is real. I shoot in a style that is mostly documentary-based, but I step in when I want to really make something go the extra mile (like with directing people or posing objects, or asking someone to step into a spot with better lighting).
If you are the type of person who feels a little awkward in front of the camera, that’s totally fine! I will work with you and give plenty of direction to make sure you look amazing and feel confident! Ultimately my goal is to make you look like YOU.
One of the most important things to me is my relationship with you. I want to be more like a close friend than just another vendor! I’m the kind of photographer that wants to have tears running down my face, cheering you on, breaking it down with you on the dancefloor, rather than standing quietly on the sidelines. I’d rather be on a more friendly, relaxed level so I can take photos that actually feel real and fun, as opposed to pictures that feel like they were taken from a total outsider perspective.
My style definitely has a little bit of a moody, emotional edge that incorporates natural light and the raw surroundings as much as possible! I absolutely love rich tones and colors. But ultimately, my main goal is to really tell the full story of the day through my photographs - including all the details (the flowers, the scenery, the décor), the candid moments, the pretty photos of you laughing with your family, the sweet moments of you together in the beautiful place you’ve chosen to get married, and of course, the epic party you throw to celebrate!

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
I absolutely love to turn my engagement shoots into half-day adventures to rugged, beautiful locations. Think of it as a epic day spent making memories with your love - hiking, laughing, even popping a bottle of champagne - just with a photographer there to join you!
Doing an engagement session gives you the opportunity to take some amazing photos together on a day that is MUCH less stressful and busy than your wedding, and it gives us the option to take photos anywhere, without many time restrictions! In addition, it gives you the opportunity to see how I shoot, and get a little more used to being in front of the camera!
When is the best time to do engagement photos?
I shoot engagement photos year round, in any time of weather (rain, sun, snow, you name it!). I typically book sessions at sunrise or sunset for the best romantic lighting, but I often block out more time to make sure we can travel to our locations and arrive at the perfect time of day for light! I also always try to carpool with you if we are going anywhere far away - it saves gas and it helps you get to know me better!
What to wear and bring:
Pick your favorite clothes that make you feel the most confident and comfortable. Make sure everything fits super well! Take into consideration where we are shooting and bring footwear that is cute but also practical! As for colors, I prefer to photograph people in neutrals and solids, because I want the focus on you and your love, not the clothing! It’s a good idea to avoid really bright fluorescent colors because the light can bounce off the clothing and into the shadows of your face, adding a weird color cast to images! This is another reason why it’s a good idea to bring a variety of options in case something doesn’t work. It’s also a good idea to coordinate your outfits, just don’t get matchy-matchy. Pick a general color scheme and play around with it! For example, if one person wears a plaid shirt, have another person wear a shirt or dress with a color that comes from that plaid. Adding different textures to the same scheme looks good too!
