Documenting how it feels.
Weddings & Elopements.
Let the dress get dirty.
Let the moments happen.
The photos are important - the memories & feelings associated with them are arguably more important.
Let’s drop the shot lists, plan a day you’d love whether there was social media to share photos on or not, hire a photographer you trust to document it as it happens, and the photos will speak for themselves. I promise.
Photos of the wedding, not a wedding for the photos.
Coverage available in both digital + film.
I am also excited to now be offering a Wedding Weekend option! Maybe you’re doing things a little differently and want it all documented - a long weekend at your family’s cottage on the lake with 20 of your closest people and a wedding ceremony thrown in there somewhere? This sounds like a magical dream. Let’s do it.
Custom pricing available + varies by season, full day coverage on summer weekends starts at $5500.
-
To lock in your date you’ll need: a discovery call with me (we want to both ensure we’re the right fit for each other before locking into this!), a paid non-refundable retainer (1/3 of the total cost), and yes, a signed contract.
The contract protects us both and outlines all of the expectations and deliverables. Please be sure to read in full before signing!
Your date is not confirmed on my calendar without all three of these!
-
If you decide to cancel your wedding for any reason, there are non-refundable amounts as will all be outlined in your contract. If you need to reschedule your date, I allow one date change that must occur within one year of your original date at no additional fee. If rescheduling to a date I am not available, it’s the same as the cancellation policy!
-
I don’t alter or photoshop anyone’s body shape or size in any way.
If this is something you want in your photos there are other photographers who are happy to (this is no shade to them!) but this is not something I am personally comfortable doing. My whole style is based around capturing moments and people authentically as they are (and I promise you’re beautiful exactly as you are)
*also insert a spiel around contributing to unrealistic beauty standards that I’ll save you from*
I’m always happy to have conversations around any insecurities you may be concerned about before or during - we all have them and there are ways to work with them!
-
I do not, only a list for family formal photo groupings if you’d like (I recommend keeping this to 10-15 max!)
If I have a 6 page shot list in front of me it’s taking away from capturing the actual moments. I don’t want to spend your day manufacturing fake moments for the photo, and I promise you don’t either.
Trust that if it’s happening and I’m there, it will be captured. I don’t need reminders to photograph the first kiss or your first dance. If you have something you’d like captured that I may not otherwise be aware of (ex. something special written inside the groom’s tie) I’m happy to have you pass that along!

You betcha.
Both of my cameras have dual card slots, so they save all of your images in two places in full quality as I’m shooting. When I get home, your images are then backed up on two separate hard drives + a cloud storage, and the memory cards are stored in a fire-proof safe until delivered.
-
Nope.
The editing is a massive component of the style and completed artwork. You wouldn’t expect the chef at the restaurant to give you all of the ingredients to take home and cook yourself!
-
No, but I don’t limit galleries to a certain number. I’m carefully hand-selecting and editing all of the best images that tell the story of your day.
-
Every single wedding and elopement are different, therefore I never promise or confine you to a certain number of images. A rough average tends to look like 30-50 final images per hour of coverage, but you’ll receive all of the best images of your day, whatever that number looks like!
-
Absolutely! Once you’re officially booked in with me I’ll give any recommendations you need!
I also include 2 additional meetings or calls for you to use once you’re my client. One to use earlier in the planning process if you’d like to chat further about recommendations, locations, anything from my perspective that could be helpful for your planning process. A second, usually within about 2 months out from your wedding day, to chat any final details and loose timelines for my time with you!
