The Experience
Your wedding day will move fast — but the moments that matter deserve to live forever. My goal is simple: to document your story honestly, with intentional images that feel as real as the day they were taken.Whether it’s the big moments or the quiet in-betweens, I’m there with a calm presence and a storyteller’s eye, capturing it all.
01. Connection & Clarity
Once you inquire, we’ll hop on a quick call so I can learn more about your vision and walk you through what working together looks like. I’ll answer every question and guide you to the collection that fits your day best.
02. Comfort & Guidance
If you choose to book an engagement session (included in some collections), it’s the perfect warm-up for the big day. You’ll get used to the camera, and we’ll get comfortable together so nothing feels forced later on.
03. Calm, Focused Coverage
On your wedding day, I show up ready — calm, tuned in, and quietly in the background when needed. I’ll guide your portraits when it’s time, then fade back into the scene to capture the good stuff: connection, laughter, emotion.
04. Delivery & Legacy
Your full gallery will be delivered within 4–6 weeks in a private online gallery. From there, you can download, print, or build an heirloom album — a tangible memory of your day to pass down.

The Editing Process
Every image in your gallery is carefully edited in our signature style — true-to-life colors, balanced tones, and just the right amount of contrast to bring each moment to life.
For more intimate portraits, like your couple session, you’ll have the option to select a set number of images for enhanced retouching. This includes subtle refinements like skin smoothing and blemish removal, always done with a natural, timeless touch.
