Weddings

Natural, guided photography so you can stay present in your day.

I’ll step in when direction helps and step back when it doesn’t—so nothing feels forced or overdone.

Your wedding is full of real moments and a lot happening all at once. I’ll keep things moving when needed, move efficiently through portraits, and pay attention to the in-between moments you’ll care about later.

How the Day Feels

I keep things simple and steady.

You’ll get a mix of relaxed portraits and real moments as they naturally unfold. I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, keep things on track, and give you space to just be in it.

Whether your day feels calm, emotional, or a little busy, I’ll adjust with it and make sure everything is documented in a way that feels true to you.

Throughout The Day

Every part of your day matters—whether it’s calm, emotional, or a little busy.

Receptions are about your people, your celebration, and everything happening in between.

Outdoor receptions—especially near sunset—have beautiful, soft light.
Indoor and evening celebrations feel different, but just as meaningful.

I’ll guide you where needed and capture it all as it naturally unfolds—so you can stay present and enjoy it.

The Details

I make sure to photograph the details you spent time choosing—your florals, invitations, rings, and everything that helps tell the full story of your day.

You may not get a chance to take it all in while it’s happening, but it will all be there in your gallery.

Beyond the Wedding Day

If you’re looking for more coverage around your wedding, I offer a few additional options:

Proposals
Planned simply and photographed naturally, so the moment stays true to you.

Engagement Sessions
A relaxed session to get comfortable in front of the camera and create photos that feel like you.

Bridals / First Look
A dedicated portrait session outside your wedding day, giving us time to slow down and focus just on you.
