Welcome
We so excited that you are interested in choosing us to document your family! We believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
We believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
We began capturing images on film at the age of 22 when we discovered our dad’s old Pentax in the attic. The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced us to put our camera phone down and really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around us. Whenever we pick up my camera, we strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

THE WEDDING DAY PROCESS ++ CAPTURING BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
YOU'RE ENGAGED!
Let's Chat!
You’ve thoroughly combed through my website, blog, and Instagram feed, and you like what you see. You are drawn to a more classic editing style with an occasional pop of colors and an emphasis on connection and real emotions. You love details and genuine smiles. And you like that I’m a bit of a nerd, and you know that my background as a teacher means I’m very organized.
So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we’re the perfect fit for one another.
Make it official!
Date Booked
You’ll reach out and tell me you’re interested. I’ll send you a survey to get a lot more details about your big day (and it’s OK if you don’t know all of it yet) and to learn more about you and your partner. I’ll also send over a contract. Once your date is officially reserved with a $500 retainer, I’ll send over a lot of additional information to help you prepare for the big day.
I’m happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance, and more!
Engagement Session
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. Pick a location that means something to you and your partner, or give me a vibe, and be ready to move!
Wedding Day Prep
I’ll send you a timeline template and then check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else I should know about your big day.
The Big Day
It’s finally here! The day the two of you say “I Do” and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know I am so excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It’s going to be awesome. I do everything in my power to keep your day running smoothly, trouble shooting issues that arise, and making sure you and your partner have the best day ever!
They're Here!
I try my best to get an image up when I get home the night of your wedding. Depending on how far away your wedding is from my home, it may be the next day. Then, the week after, you can expect a bigger sneak peek of images on social media. Within eight weeks of your wedding day, your photos to be delivered via an online gallery. My goal is always to get it to you by your one month anniversary, but I say eight weeks just in case something happens that makes me off schedule. At that time, I’ll also send over details about ordering your prints and the process if you want to purchase any albums.

Handcrafted Albums
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents’ wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.
PRICING
Linen: $950 for Linen
Leather: $1150
Additional 2-page Spread: $50
DUPLICATE PARENT ALBUMS
Linen: $450 each for Linen
Leather: $700 each
Additional 2-page Spread: $40 each
After we deliver your gallery, we’ll work with you to order prints and design an album that will become an heirloom for your family.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors, all albums are non-returnable. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day. The holiday deadline for beginning an order is November 1st.
Engagement Sessions
CELEBRATING A SEASON
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits – which is why
we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
All of our collections include a complimentary session.
