What to expect...

Choose me as your photographer or videographer, and I’ll be hyped to capture every laugh, tear, and dance move! I keep things easy and stress-free so you can just enjoy the day. Can’t wait to get started!

Initial Consultation:

First things first—we’ll hop on a call (or meet up!) to chat about your wedding—date, location, timeline, all the good stuff. I’ll walk you through my services, packages, and pricing, and answer any questions you’ve got. No stress—this is just to see if we’re a good fit! To lock in your date, all I need is a $200 non-refundable deposit, and the rest is due on your wedding day.

 

Engagement Session: for photography only

So, a lot of wedding photographers include an engagement session in their packages, and it’s honestly one of my favorite parts! It’s a chance for you to get comfy in front of the camera, and for me to get a feel for your style and what you’re into. Plus, it’s a fun way to ease into things before the big day! (optional)

 

Planning Meeting:

Before the wedding, we’ll have a planning meeting to go over the timeline for the day and chat about any special shots or poses you want. It’s all about making sure we’re on the same page so everything flows perfectly on the big day!

 

Vendor Coordination:

I will communicate with other vendors involved in the wedding, such as the wedding planner or DJ, to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working together smoothly.

 

Final Details:

In the days leading up to the wedding, I will confirm the details with you, such as the timeline, locations, and any last-minute changes.

 

Okay, so here’s the deal: I’m all about keeping things super easy and stress-free. I want you to feel totally comfortable sharing your ideas and visions with me, and I’ll always keep you in the loop. Think of it like we’re a team, and I’ve got your back every step of the way. My goal is for you to feel confident and relaxed, knowing we’re working together to make your day amazing.

How to enjoy your wedding day

Weddings have a lot of moving parts—caterers, florists, DJs, coordinators, and hundreds of guests. With so much happening, things won’t always go exactly as planned—and that’s completely normal. Most hiccups are small and get fixed quickly, so don’t let them steal your joy.

Here’s what I always tell my clients: by the time your wedding day arrives, you’ve already done everything possible to make it perfect. The months leading up to it were busy enough—now it’s your moment to relax, laugh, and soak it all in. Stressing won’t change anything, but having fun will make your memories unforgettable.

With years of experience, I’ve seen it all and know how to handle any curveballs behind the scenes—so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying your day.

I’ve even got a real-life story about this—ask me sometime!
