From initial planning to your “I dos,” I’ll give you an excellent experience and create images that stir up the emotions you felt on your wedding day year after year.

Let’s get creative! Your engagement session is a celebration of the promise you’ve made to create a future together. As you announce this exciting step to your friends and family, I have the joy of visually preserving that anticipation and hope for you to keep forever. Whether you’re laid back or prefer to get all dressed up, together we will create the perfect setting to showcase your story in the best light.

It’s 4-6 weeks before your wedding day! Hopefully you aren’t lost in final decision-making, centerpieces, and seating charts, but if you are, I’m here to help. Your timeline is the foundation for designing a stress-free wedding day so you can be more present to enjoy it all! Together we’ll create a timeline that helps organize your day, prioritizes what matters to you, and makes the most of your celebration.

No more decisions, planning, or anticipation! The day you’ve been waiting for is here! You will wake up as two single individuals and go to bed a committed, married couple. I can’t wait to help you preserve all the memories you make in-between. I’ll blend in the background when you need time to be present and step forward when it’s time to make moments. Most importantly, I’ll create a thoughtful, authentic, visual story to help you relive your wedding day for a lifetime.
