WEDDINGS
“There is no remedy for love but to love more.”
When you find that special someone and just know you want to spend forever with them, you want the images to be as timeless as your love. I am here to capture everything about your best day. I offer wedding packages starting at $2,500.
CUSTOM SLIDESHOWS
Storytelling is the best part of shooting weddings and I love creating custom slideshows for my couples. It’s an online album that tells the story of the entire day and is the culmination of all our hard work. When a bride writes me back and says that she was brought to (happy) tears while watching it, I know I did my job! All wedding packages come with a custom slideshow.

ELOPEMENTS
“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”
An elopement is the most intimate of nuptials. There is so much magic in capturing just the two of you on your most romantic day. Elopements allow us to focus on creating the most beautiful images of just the two of you. I offer elopement packages that start at $1,000.

It really depends on how many hours you want covered and how many photographers you want shooting. Do you want every step of your hair & makeup and getting ready covered, all the way to your grand exit, plus an engagement session? Or are you having an intimate elopement on the beach and only want the ceremony shot, plus some gorgeous couple portraits at sunset? Almost any budget and need can be accommodated.
-
Yes. Generally we require a 40% deposit to hold your date. The balance is due a week after your session or event, in case you decide to add coverage or services during the session or event. Your deposit is non-refundable if you cancel, but it is transferable to a different date or service.

Taking the photos is just the start of creating beautiful images. For every hour of shooting, there is at least another hour or two of post production. Your photos will be edited, color corrected and processed. For weddings, within 2-7 days you will be emailed a "Sneak Peek". This is 10-15 highlight photos from your wedding. We love to send out a "Sneak Peek" to hold you and your friends and family over until the bulk of the photos are ready! Four-6 weeks later you will get a link to your custom slideshow and shortly after this you will receive a keepsake USB thumb drive. On this drive will be all the retouched photos from your slideshow and sneak peek, plus all the processed and color corrected photos taken on your wedding day! For all other sessions, turnaround time is generally about 1-2 weeks.

Once you decide to hire me to shoot your wedding, I will draw up a contract with the details of the package and features you have chosen, along with your date, location and approximate schedule. I will send this through Honeybook, you can look it over and make sure everything is correct. Once I receive the deposit and the signed contract through Honeybook, I consider your date taken!
About 2-3 weeks before the wedding, I will check in and go over final details and schedule for the big day. I will ask to be connected with your event planner, if you have one, and we will talk about what your most wanted shots are.
At this point we will finalize when you would like to see each other for the first time in your wedding outfits and when we will take your couples portraits. Do you want to do an intimate "First Look" or are you very traditional and have your heart set on not seeing each other until you are walking down the aisle?

No. Video and still photography are two very different specialties. We will be happy to recommend a videographer to you.
