Told through the eyes of a photographer

You are engaged! Congratulations! Now, to start planning your love story.
From the moment you become engaged you have started your wedding journey. This is the beginning of your wedding story that you will re-tell for the rest of your life.
You will re-tell it to family, and they will learn something new.
You will tell it to new friends which will help them understand you better.
You will even tell it to strangers who you will never see again.
Hiring professionals who have the ability to understand your vision, and help you create it, will make your experience unforgettable. You are creating a team of individuals who all the same purpose, which is to make your experience extraordinary. This gives you the freedom to focus on all of the moments that will become unforgettable, choosing colors, flavors, details, and allow you to enjoy every moment on your special day.
From our first conversation, my goal is to help make the love story you imagined. My goal is to provide you with the best experience. I have tools that will assist you along your journey, and ease your mind in the days leading up to your big celebration. I want you to be excited about every aspect of what I can do for you.
We start with an engagement session. This session is unique, not only will you now have some beautiful pictures of you and your partner but it also gives us the opportunity to get to know each-other before the wedding. I will provide a style guide, help you decide on a with location, and then we meet to make some beautiful pictures. It’s that easy. Some of these pictures will most likely be used for your wedding in some aspect. I’ve seen pictures used for wedding websites, to thank you cards, and everything in between. I saw something new this year, which was unexpected and fun; cute cocktail napkins with photos from the engagement session!
There is a little homework before your big day, which is to make a list of all of the family portraits, and to appoint someone to help me organize these extended pictures. It actually becomes comical, because there’s always someone who sneaks off before they’re supposed to and it’s somehow always the usual suspect in the family.
The day of wedding is absolutely special and magical. It should be one of the most memorable days of your life, and I do everything in my power to make that happen. The vendor team that you have assembled (whether we have met or not) come together as if we have worked together forever, and we make something incredibly special happen. It never ceases to amaze me how closely we all work as a team. I know personally how much pride I take in helping make the most magical experience for everyone.
I know how special this day is because I’ve had my own day, and I am always honored that I get to be a part of yours. I absolutely love it.
