my approach
Because your photos are probably the only tangible item you'll have after all is said and done, being your photographer is a responsibility I don't take lightly.
There is nothing more fulfilling for me than taking and delivering images that tell your story in a way that brings you back. From the tender touches to the belly laughs- I want you to feel everything all over again. There are definitely some photos from my own wedding album that never fail to bring me to tears, and you deserve the very same.
That being said, I'm not just your photographer, and I don't want to be! If you're expecting someone to show up, shoot, and leave, then I may not be the right choice for you..which is totally fine!
If you're looking for more than just another vendor, for a different kind of experience, you're in the right place.
I want you to know that I'm here for you, and I mean that wholeheartedly. Need help planning? Figuring out your timeline? I'm your girl- which coffee shop do you want to meet at? Feeling overwhelmed and need someone to vent to late at night? Feel free to reach out; there's a good chance I'm still up. Honestly, nothing you ask will ever be too much because I really do care. My couples mean everything to me. I've been able to develop deep, meaningful friendships with many of my brides and I wouldn't trade that for the world.
On your wedding day I want to capture your genuine connection, not follow a cookie-cutter list of poses; getting to know you and your partner is part of that process. You deserve photographs that represent who you really are as a couple, so when you're in front of my camera you will never be forced into doing anything that doesn't feel like you.
I firmly believe that your wedding day should feel like you as well.
I'm a huge advocate for planning your day with intention. Don't have a first look because everyone is doing it, have one because you want to share a quiet moment alone. Don't have a 100+ person guest list if the thought of it makes you uneasy. Don't plan an elopement if you've been dreaming about a big wedding your whole life.
I don't believe there's a wrong way to get married. At the end of the day, all that matters is you, your partner, and the love you share. So whether you're inviting well over fifty guests, having an intimate backyard wedding, or planning an adventurous elopement- count me in!
so how does this work?
01.
Fill out this contact form with allll the details and I'll get back to you embarrassingly fast. Usually within a few hours!

We'll discuss your plans + vision for your day, as well as start getting to know each other! I'll also send over pricing information relevant to the amount of coverage you'd like.

After months of planning, your big day is finally here!! Let's celebrate! You'll marry the love of your life and I'll capture every moment.
06.
A few weeks later you'll receive your edited gallery! Laugh, cry, and swoon all over again.
you've got questions, I've got answers
When and how do we receive our images?
I want you to have your photos as quickly as possible! Roughly 4-6 weeks after your wedding you will receive all of your carefully hand-edited images in an online gallery. From there, you'll be able to download the full-size digital files as many times as you like!
How many images will we receive?
I do not set a maximum number of images, however every celebration is different so I cannot promise an exact number. These photos are not for me, they are yours, and I believe you deserve as many as it takes to tell your story from start to finish.
Do you travel? What are your travel fees?
YES!! I'm always down to travel!
My travel fees vary depending on where you are. I'm based in Austin, Texas (78726).
• There are no fees for weddings within a 2hr drive.
• For weddings 3+ hours of driving away, please remember to budget in a one-night stay.
• If you're outside the state of Texas, generally you'll need to budget a bit extra for two round-trip flights, a rental car, and a two-night hotel stay for both me and my second shooter/assistant (aka my husband!)
I book all of my own travel, and the fees will be bundled into your final price to make everything as easy as possible for you!
Please reach out if you'd like an estimate!
How does payment work?
I require a 50% retainer to secure your date, and your remaining balance is due one-day prior to your wedding. I send my invoices through PayPal for tax purposes, and you can either use your account or pay with a credit card. Travel fees (if applicable) are due at the same time the retainer is paid so that I'm able to book everything ASAP.
If you feel a connection to me and my work then I may be the right photographer for you. Let me buy you coffee or take you to lunch. Tell me all about your favorite bands, what you binge-watch, and what your pets names are (or bring 'em with you!). Tell me about your passions, about how you fell in love with your partner, how the proposal happened.. I can't wait to meet you!!
