Remember the day through the little moments

I’m all about the smiles! Your wedding day is packed with all the feels from laughs to happy tears and my favorite moments are genuine laughs and smiles. When you check out my wedding galleries, you’ll see that it’s all about the people and their expressions. Sure, we’ll snag some gorgeous detail shots, but my main thing is capturing those real, raw moments between you and your family.

Vows & Toasts

Every couple should have some video of the most important parts of the day that you’ll want to remember forever – your vows & toasts. If you don’t have a videographer, I’ll include some video from your wedding day. You might not think you’ll want video, but trust me, you will. My parents got married way before video was ever a thing in weddings, but my Dad captured some video of their wedding day and that little bit of video is priceless.

FAQ

01.

How soon can we see photos?


While you are enjoying newlywed bliss, maybe sipping a cocktail on the beach, I’m hard at work, excitedly going through your wedding photos. Within about 2-3 days of the wedding, I’ll post a sneak peak to your gallery. You’ll be able to download the high resolution & start posting to social media. The full gallery will be finished within 8-10 weeks of the wedding.

02.

How many photos will we get?

Every wedding is a little different, depending on the flow of the day. On average, I deliver 900-1300 fully edited images.

03.

Are all the photos edited?

Yes! All the photos are color corrected with my true color light and bright editing and a few moody black and white photos. I obsess over every image and eliminate any distracting elements in the background like random people and cars.

next steps

I would love to be part of your big day and capture all those epic wedding moments! Just a heads up, this proposal is good for three days.
