“30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography”
Wedding photos but make it art
My photography style is photojournalistic meets editorial. It's artful storytelling for those who value experiences over things, intentional details, and adventure over perfection.
I want the portraits to embody the personalities of the couple, and I also want everyone involved to enjoy the process. As much as I want to create award-winning art, my priority will always be my couples. Yes, we'll get the kinds of photos you'd find in a magazine, but it's equally important to capture the moments the Mother of the Bride will hang in her hallway.
I strive for emotive, vibrant, chic and modern photographs that will be treasured for generations. This will be part of your legacy, after all.
capturing the In-Between moments
Artful storytelling isn't important to everyone, but it's important to you. Have peace of mind knowing the candid, unposed moments you care about most will be documented. Fifty years from now when you pick up the dusty wedding album on your coffee table, you’ll admire the beautiful portraits, yes. But it will be the photographs filled with raw emotion and in-between moments that make your eyes well up.
This is photography for people who value experiences over material items. Listen, I’ve got a bougie side but at my core I’m all about connection. I will absolutely take an extra minute during detail shots to give your Louboutins the kind of attention they deserve, but the knack I have for timing glee, tears and laughs is what sets me apart. If you’re nodding your head to that, we’ll get along just fine.
more than just your photographer
Trusting someone to capture your big day is a huge decision. I totally get it. Because if there’s one thing that has to go right on your wedding day, it’s photography.
I’m there for you to text during wedding planning if you’re on the fence about a first look. Need a second opinion on your hair trial? I’m all ears. I absolutely want to give you photographs that you can’t stop staring at, and I also want us to build a meaningful connection while doing it.
When I show up to photograph your wedding, it will feel like you’ve got a friend with a camera there to document it. Even though you claim to be awkward in front of a camera, your comfortability with me will transfer through your photos. It’s not uncommon that my couples and I become friends. Every year I look forward to receiving their holiday cards or photographing their growing families.
You’ll spend 8+ hours with your wedding photographer, make sure it’s someone who you trust and enjoy being around.
The Experience
What’s included in every wedding photography package
-
Leading up to your wedding day, you’ll feel completely taken care of as I walk you through the timeline planning process, provide vendor recommendations, and even create a wedding day itinerary specifically designed for you. Side note, my detailed itineraries are typically the first thing other vendors will compliment me on. They guarantee every detail is accounted for so you don’t have to worry about receiving your final gallery and wondering where certain photos are. You can rest assured it will all be there.
-
Color Correction, Global Adjustments, Cropping, Spot + Blemish Removal all done in-house. Before photography, I was into graphic design, which basically makes me a Photoshop queen. Let’s say you want to blow up one of your photos to hang in your living room but you noticed something that you’d like removed. Or maybe you would love a particular photo in black and white. You can rest assured I’ll make that edit for you quickly and complimentary. I want you to be obsessed with your images.
-
You’ll receive all of your edited, full resolution images in an online gallery created just for you. Here you can view, download, favorite, share, and print your photos. You also get the copyright release which means you have printing rights to print your photos wherever or however you choose.
-
A thoughtfully curated guide that includes tips, FAQ, vendor recommendations, example timelines and more.
-
You’ll receive sneak peeks within 3 days and your final gallery within 5 weeks. It’s important to me that you don’t wait months for your final images after the initial hype has worn off. This is one place where speed and quality co-exist.
-
What do all of the couples in the photos below have in common? Almost all of them warned me when we first met that they can look awkward in photos. Spoiler alert, none of them are professional models and yet, they appear relaxed and natural in their photos. When we meet, I’ll spill my secret sauce that I use to achieve this every dang time.
Testimonial
“A few of our friends have gotten married and I see their photos and they're all beautiful for different reasons. BUT every time I see someone else's I love ours even more. I can't help but notice the difference in the raw moments you captured for us vs the smolder poses I see all on my friends’ Instagrams. I shouldn't compare, it's all just a matter of taste. But here l am lol thank you AGAIN.” - Laura A.
a worry-free wedding experience
Leading up to the big day, you’ll feel completely taken care of as I create a custom timeline, select portrait locations just for you, provide recommendations, text you well wishes on your wedding eve, and tell you what to do with your hands during portraits. Your brain already has a million tabs open. Allow me to take the lead so you have one less thing to stress over.
If you want your wedding day to feel like a photoshoot, we’re probably not the best fit. Imagine me as your wedding’s creative director. I gently pose, guide, and lead when necessary. I also know when to stay silent, blend in, and press my shutter button at exactly the right moment, letting those raw moments unfold naturally. My main goal is to tell the unique story of your day, capture your essence, and make sure the photos feel like you.
