Get to know more about working with me, from what inspires my creative process to how I document your story and bring it to life through my edits and shooting style
When you work with me, your comfort is my top priority. I want to create a space where you can feel at ease and truly be yourself, and that goes for everyone involved on your wedding day or at your portrait session. I know being in front of the camera can feel overwhelming, but I’ll guide you with gentle direction to help you relax and allow those authentic, candid moments to unfold naturally.
I approach photography with a documentary style, focusing on the beauty of those imperfect, raw moments. If you’re looking for perfectly posed and polished images, I may not be your ideal photographer. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll capture those classic posed shots too, but I believe my best work comes when you let go, relax, and enjoy the experience. I want to be immersed in your day, whether it’s a wedding, event, or portrait session. It’s such an honor to capture the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. My goal is to give you something that not only looks beautiful but also brings the emotions of the day back to life every time you look at your photos.
As I've grown in my craft, I’ve found that I prefer to edit images in a way that’s true to their natural beauty, with just a hint of warmth. I want to capture moments exactly as they are, and my editing style reflects that. I keep colors true to the location and season, letting the images speak for themselves. My approach to photography, whether it's weddings, events, or portraits, is to provide guidance when necessary, but to mostly stay present and observe the moments as they happen. Your wedding day or session shouldn't feel like a photoshoot; it should be about you fully experiencing and soaking in every moment. That said, I strive to deliver a perfect balance of artistically posed photos and spontaneous, heartfelt moments.

Gallery delivery
After your unforgettable portrait session or wedding day, I’ll get started on editing the photos right away.
For portrait sessions, your gallery will be ready and delivered 2-3 weeks after your session.
For weddings, expect sneak peeks within 24-48 hours, with the full gallery arriving 8-12 weeks after the wedding, depending on how busy the season is.
This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.
I completely understand! It's not every day you're in front of the camera. I'll make sure your session is fun, that's what matters most. Your comfort is key, and I’ll be there to direct you every step of the way.
What should I wear?
For variety, I always suggest having two outfit options: one that’s formal and the other more laid-back and flexible, allowing you to move freely. I love when there's movement in the shots! And hey, don’t be afraid to incorporate a little color into your look!
How long does it take to receive my photos?
I aim to get your galleries ready as soon as possible because I understand the excitement of waiting for those photos! If there’s any delay, I’ll be sure to communicate it.
Engagement and portrait sessions will be delivered within 2-3 weeks, while weddings and elopements will take 8-12 weeks depending on my busy season.
How many photos will I get back?
It honestly varies with each session and wedding!
For engagement and portrait sessions, you’ll get around 125-150 fully edited images in your online gallery.
For weddings and elopements, it’s around 100-125 fully edited images per hour of shooting. That said, I tend to get a little carried away with editing, so you might end up with more than expected, haha!
Do you deliver RAW files or unedited photos?
No, I don’t provide RAW files or unedited images. It may sound a bit harsh, but I put a lot of effort and time into carefully editing each photo to perfection. This is why it's so crucial to choose a photographer whose editing style you truly connect with!
The RAW files remain with me. While you have the right to print and share your images, I retain the copyrights to them.
You have one year to download your gallery onto your desktop or an external hard drive, which I strongly recommend doing once you receive your gallery.
After one year, your online gallery will expire from my hosting site. Please don't forget to print your images! You'll love having something physical to look back on.
How would you describe your photographic style and approach on a wedding day?
Whether it’s a wedding day or a portrait session, I approach photography with a documentary-style mindset. I love capturing the imperfect moments that make your story uniquely yours. If you’re looking for someone who focuses solely on posed, perfect shots, I might not be the right fit. We will get the classic posed pictures, but my creativity thrives when you can just relax and be present in the moment. I’m like your quiet observer, always watching for those fleeting, beautiful in-between moments to capture.
Are you available for our destination wedding?
Without a doubt... Y E S! I love to travel and would be excited to capture your love story wherever you’re headed. Feel free to inquire so we can go over the details and I can create a custom package for you! I usually ask for airfare, accommodation, and a rental car, if needed.
