Frequently Asked Questions
I specialize in capturing real moments with a mix of candid shots and timeless, classic poses. My goal is to tell the unique story of your day, focusing on emotions, laughter, and the joy of the moment.
I recommend one for a few reasons! First, my style of photography works best when we've gotten to know each other. Engagement sessions are the perfect time for us to hang out & spend time together before your day! It's also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and practice makes perfect. It's totally natural to feel a little bit nervous/awkward when you're not used to having your photo taken, but your engagement session will make you two pros by the time the wedding rolls around!
You'll receive a sneak peek of a few photos within 1 week of your day! Full weddings are delivered within 8-10 weeks.
Nope! I don't send any un-edited/raw files! most of the magic happens during the editing process, so without that step your photos are only halfway done!
Thank you!
we'll be in touch soon!
