Your wedding day. You get to spend forever with the love of your life. If you're anything like me, you've envisioned the moment since you were young, pinning all your ideas to a Pinterest board. You have been building up this excitement of finally being able to lose yourself in finding a beautiful wedding color palette, obsessing over floral arrangement ideas, hunting for the wedding dress that perfectly fits you, and finding the venue that represents your style.
Now, you're on the lookout for an amazing vendor team that you trust with your wedding details, and that reflects your values and personality. The time has come to set your plans into motion- your Pinterest board will come to life.
It's important to find a photographer who cherishes your wedding day as much as you do while capturing every perfect and imperfect piece of the day that tells your wedding day story the way you would. Your wedding day is a reflection of your unique love story. As your photographer, I am committed to capturing every detail that makes your day truly yours. These are the images you will pull out every anniversary as you reminisce and completely relive your day once again. These memories will be smiled at, laughed at, cried over, and treasured forever.
If you're in search of a photographer to capture the beautiful moments of your wedding day, I would be thrilled to be the one to do it! However, I understand that selecting a photographer can feel overwhelming, so I want to provide you with this resource to help determine if I am the right fit for you.
This page will cover everything you need to know:
I know each wedding and couple is unique, and your vision may require something different from what is mentioned here. In that case, I would still be happy to talk with you and learn more about your specific needs and desires for your special day.
The first step of the booking process is to inquire with me. Please fill out my contact form, and I will be in touch asap with more information.
If you feel like I would be a great fit, the next step is to book. Simply sign the contract, pay the retainer fee, and I'm all yours!
The next step is to plan and book your engagement session. I will send you all the information you need, including locations, outfit ideas, etc.
Two months before your wedding, we'll meet to discuss the details and timeline of your wedding day. We can meet at a local coffee shop or schedule a video call.
Yay!! The big day has finally arrived! I'll capture every moment and detail, ensuring that your special day is beautifully documented.
Within 48 hours of your wedding, I will send you a sneak peek gallery! You will receive the rest of your images within 4-5 weeks of your wedding day.
Every photographer gravitates towards a specific shooting style, and I know my style is not for everyone, which is 100% okay! There are so many photographers out there with unique styles, and it is important to find someone who will make you feel comfortable.
I want you to feel relaxed about getting your pictures taken. I'll be prepared with plenty of poses for you and hype you up from behind the lens. However, instead of all your photos being posed, I incorporate lots of movement! My prompts include swaying, running, twirling, piggyback rides, little games, etc. These photos bring out your personality and make for super cute GIFs. Plus, this makes your experience much more memorable and interactive. The best times I've had with my couples are when we've just had fun and gone with it! I want to capture you having fun with your person.
I also LOVE being creative! Trust me, sometimes it feels like I repeat the same prompts + activities with my couples, so I'm always looking to try new things. Whether that be new poses, different camera settings, or adding props, I absolutely love couples who are down to experiment and try new things with me! Getting to be creative with my couples not only brings me so much joy, but it also provides you with photos as unique as your love story.
I want you to have fun at your engagement session and wedding day! For your engagement session, I want it to feel like it's just another date night. I want you to interact as you normally would. This is why planning your engagement session around things you guys do as a couple is a great idea. A picnic engagement photo theme may be perfect if you love reading and cherish a peaceful Saturday in the park. If you are avid hikers and love the outdoors, let's go hiking! I love getting creative with engagement sessions and showcasing your unique personalities.
I don't expect my couples to know what you're doing and especially don't expect you to know how to pose yourselves! This is my job, and I want you to trust me to do it well. I have tons of prompts and poses to make being in front of the camera easy. I'll be there to guide you every step of the way. Also, when you're in front of my camera, there's no need to worry about the details. If your ring is crooked or a piece of hair blew onto your face, I'm there to fix it!
Okay, let's talk about pricing. I offer packages for different wedding styles like elopements under 15 guests, micro-weddings under 40 guests, and weddings 40 guests and over. You can also customize your package by adding extra options if you'd like.
Your wedding day is all about you, and I'm here to make it extra special! If there's something specific you have in mind for your day that you don't see on my page, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm open to ideas and would be happy to chat with you and find a way to make it happen.

My wedding day packages go up to 8 hours. However, you can add additional coverage for $150 an hour. You may want the photographer to be there as everyone arrives at the venue or may have a longer reception. This option is perfect for those who are looking for more coverage.
Hiring a photographer for your rehearsal dinner is often overlooked, but it's a special time with those closest to you and deserves to be documented! I am happy to add any day before celebrations or wedding weekend events you would like to your coverage, from welcome parties to rehearsal dinners.
What better way to remember the best day of your life than having a customized deluxe photo album? This includes one 12x12 lay flat album with a premium leather cover and 30 pages. You can add additional pages and options for an additional cost. I will create the album based on your favorite photos, so you don't have to do any designing!
Keeping your images safe is a top priority for me. My cameras have dual card slots, so each image I take is automatically copied to two cards. I switch out my cards throughout the day to save the photos in multiple places. From the very beginning, your images are in two locations.
Once I complete your wedding, I directly copy your images onto my hard drive and both memory cards are kept safe until your wedding gallery is delivered!
Absolutely! I highly recommend taking advantage of your complimentary engagement session. It's not your typical session. We'll dive into your relationship and create a storyline that reflects your unique love story.
Plus, it's a wonderful opportunity for us to collaborate before your big day, allowing you to feel at ease with both me and the camera.
Of course! My standard payment plan is a retainer fee due when you sign your contract. Depending on your package, this is between $150 and $300. Then, within a week of your wedding, the remainder is due.
I understand weddings and elopements can be expensive, so sometimes that means breaking up your payments to get your dream vendors. Please let me know if you'd like a different payment plan set up before signing your contract.
Let's be real—gas is expensive! All of my base state (Pennsylvania) Weddings or surrounding states are charged .70 a mile after the complimentary 60-mile round trip is utilized.
Custom packages are created regarding travel for any weddings that require additional travel for Elopements and weddings.
The retainer fee is non-refundable, but the remainder of the invoice is only charged if it is a week or less until your wedding date.
I always do my best to reschedule for an upcoming date. If you'd like to reschedule for reasons other than weather or unforeseen events, I allow one reschedule. After the complimentary reschedule, there will be a reschedule fee.
I never watermark my images—I want you to enjoy them fully and have the freedom to download or print them as often as you would like.
As for printing, please print your images! You will get the full experience of hiring a photographer if you print and display your images. I highly recommend printing your images from the print store directly connected to your gallery. This print store is top-of-the-line & has wonderful, affordable options for gifts and keepsakes.
The most rewarding part of my job is the day you receive your awaited gallery. Your reactions are always so heartwarming and appreciated!
Your sneak peeks and wedding gallery will be delivered directly to your email inbox as a link to your gallery. This is where you can view, download, and purchase prints from your session, elopement, or wedding. You can also share your link with family and friends so they can purchase prints and download images for themselves.
My turnaround time for elopements is one to two weeks, and weddings is three to five weeks. For weddings, I will send out a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of your wedding.
This is a tough question! I do not limit the amount of images I share. I want to share all the quality photos and special moments from your big day.
Typically, for elopements, you can expect a minimum of 300 images. As for weddings, I will deliver at least 800 images, but it's highly likely you'll receive more than that.
I can't wait to hear from you and document your beautiful love story.
