What is your approach to photographing?
My passion is combining styles with intention. For example, when a bride is getting ready I will most likely act as a fly on the wall for most of the morning. I want her raw interactions with her sweet bridesmaids. I want her to read her letter from the groom without interruption. However, if I notice there is a calm moment and beautiful lighting by a window, I will ask the bride if she wants to step next to the window for a quick moment.
I want to use my photography knowledge to set up photos that will make you feel breath taking. However, I will never curate or direct your entire day.
I also believe that classic portraits and documentary photos are best when working in tandem through a collection. When your great, great grandkids peek through your wedding album, I want the classic shots where they can see your faces clearly.
However, I also want the natural ones of the stolen kisses, uncontrollable laughter, little hand squeezes, and other authentic and unprompted interactions.
You shouldn’t have to choose between one style or the other and that’s why I won’t make you.
When will my photos be returned?

Elopements - highlights within 48 hours | full collection within 3 - 6 weeks
What should I wear?
First and foremost, you should wear what makes you feel confident. Second, when you book feel free to request an outfit guide! I will send you info and opinions on what would complement your location and the photos we are producing. However, my suggestions are just that. Don’t get stuck on them and let it stress you out. Wear something that you feel comfortable and stunning in.
One thing I like to do (feels silly but works) is try on multiple outfits and record myself in them. I will set up selfie mode on my phone and dance around for a moment. Whichever outfit I didn’t have to tug at to make fit comfortably and whichever I thought looked best on camera, is the winner!
Don’t know where to start? When in doubt, bring the neutrals out! They are truly timeless. No matter what styles are in or out, your neutral fits will complement anything when framed around your house.
Who chooses a location for my session?
Simple, it can be either one of us! If you have a location in mind that will bring the photos you want to life, I am more than happy to head that way! If you have no clue what would look good. Tell me a bit about yourself and what your’re hoping for from this session. Do you want elegant photos for your wedding invitations? Are you hoping for a more cozy date night feel? Just let me know, and I will provide the suggestions to make it happen.
How can I book with you?
Please send an inquiry through my contact form and I will get a questionnaire over to you! Once I know more about you and your vision for the day, I will know if we are the best fit! If I feel like someone can serve you better, I will send you straight to them! If not, we get to hop on a call and I get to start day dreaming about how beautiful it will be to spend your big day together!
What does travel cost?
I will factor in all of the travel and stay accommodations when organizing your quote! That way you see it up front and don’t have to stress about additional hidden fees or unexpected add-ons later in the process.
My current bucket list in the U.S. includes: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Maine, NYC, and many more so don’t hesitate to ask!
Do you have payment plans?
Yes + I am more than happy to customize one that works best for you!
How involved are you in the wedding planning process?
However involved you invite me in to be. I do require a planner or at minimum, a day of coordinator, for weddings that I cover. I find that photographing a wedding requires me to wear too many hats, if there is not someone else present for those jobs. It henders me from producing my best work, and on your wedding day you deserve my best.
With that said; if you need recommendations, a timeline, or are just excited to share an idea or vision for the day, I will not be limiting you to one phone consultation phone call! E-mail me and we will get another call on the books. I love hearing about your planning process and am happy to be included in the details.
What is your personality like?
I’m a people pleaser, lol. I’ve been told that I am a reflection of what is needed. If you are a ball of excitement on your big day, I will say “slaaayyyy” to everything and hype you up! If you are quiet and stressed, I will probably come across as quieter and will do my best to give you peace and encouragment through the day that everything is going beautifully. Whatever, you need in a friend/photographer that day, I will read the room and be her for you.
What does an engagement session look like?
You have two options here!
First, simple and sweet. If you have a fiance who doesn’t love being in front of the camera, don’t stress. The first one is a super simple hour long session. This includes, one outfit and one hour of photography, so there is not much to stress over.
The second option is for my photo lovers! This is a two hour long session with two looks. The vision is to capture one hour that is totally you two and the second hour typically includes an elevated look. For example, we could go get snuggly in a coffee shop or create a picnic in the park and then we could follow it up with a suite and dress, strutting downtown or wherever you’d like!
Do you offer film photos?
I am a trendy girl through and through and I am SO excited that film photos are getting the appreciation that they deserve. With that, I have decided that it’s best to offer “film inspired” edits. This allows me to have the peace of mind, knowing that the photos will turn out perfectly, without switching between multiple camera bodies all day. - I highlight a few photos from each part of the day that have a retro feel and create a new album within your collection for your “film inspired moments.”
Do you travel?
Absolutely! I am based in Raleigh, NC but have been flown all over the U.S. to photograph weddings + I have visited seven other countries, so I am decently well versed in the travel world!
In fact, I love doing it so much that if you’re wedding is in one of my dream locations, I will photograph your wedding for free and only require travel accommodations!
