What Comes Before Forever?
Wedding planning can be tolling. My biggest goal with my bridal clients is to keep our relationship fuss-free. Since 2008, I have been photographing couples on their wedding day. When I say that I have this assignment mapped out, that is zero exaggeration.
Before we make any concrete plans, I like to schedule a consultation with prospective wedding couples to see if we are compatible. Truly, this detail can enhance or derail your special day and if I am not the best fit I'll help you find a someone who is.
Assuming we both swipe right, you will put down a deposit and sign a contract to hold your date. I then share some planning lists to help jumpstart photo planning. Yes... months in advance of your nuptials. This helps shape the day-of itinerary and shot lists so that your wedding remains as relaxed as possible.
Engagement photo and video sessions are now available a la carte. Learn more in the pricing below.
Some things to think about before your consultation:
-
are you on a wellness journey that may cause you to look different on your wedding?
-
what features do you like most about yourself or significant other?
-
do you have any photo insecurities to convey?
-
if you are very committed to couple's photos what are you willing to forfeit if your timeline gets tight?
-
how do you want to be perceived on your wedding day?
-
do you like more of a natural-light look or do you want to use flash for a bolder look in the bulk of your photos?

"A great person to work with. Very professional and also very fun. She knows how to get people in position and all the great alternate shots. Communicates very well.
