Sneak peek & Editing

Maybe you’re on your honeymoon, sipping a cocktail on the beach with your honey when you get a surprise email! Ok, maybe not such a surprise because I’m telling you now. Within a few days of the wedding I’ll send you a sneak peak gallery because I know you can’t wait to see and share photos! This is one of my favorite moments of the wedding process because I know you are going to relive the happiest day of your life through photos.

KIND WORDS

“I was most drawn to her work because it seemed to capture the real moments and emotions”

-Sara & Ryan, Intercontinental Hotel Wedding

Why I love weddings

Every couple I’ve photographed has a special place in my heart.

Although we’ve met only a handful of times, by the end of a wedding I feel like part of your family. One of the reasons I like to spend several hours capturing the getting ready part of the day is because it gives me instant insight into your family. I like to see how you interact with each other. I’ve seen brides with her close raucous sisters who love teasing their mom and laughing out loud. And sentimental families who are quietly taking in every moment of the day. I tune into the mood of your family because this gives me a direction of how I should shoot your day. If your bridesmaids are fun & crazy, when we’re taking photos I’m going to instigate them to let loose! If you are more low key, I’m going to tailor my direction to capture your personality.
