Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make for your wedding day — because these are the photos you’ll hold onto forever. I believe couples deserve a photography experience that feels easy, stress-free, and full of genuine connection.
Here’s a look at exactly what it’s like to work with me, from the very first email to the moment you open your finished album.
Step 1: The Inquiry

It all starts with a simple message. Once you reach out, I’ll send over my availability, pricing, and package information. I also love to hop on a call or Zoom so we can make sure we’re a perfect fit.
Step 2: Engagement Session

Most couples choose to book an engagement session, which is the perfect chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and capture some fun, candid portraits before the big day.
Step 3: Wedding Timeline Planning
I’ll help you create a custom photography timeline so we’re ready for first looks, portraits, and all the in-between moments without feeling rushed.
Step 4: The Wedding Day
My approach is a mix of candid storytelling and timeless portraits. I’ll capture the quiet, emotional moments along with the big celebrations — so you have a gallery that feels complete and true to you.
Step 5: Sneak Peeks + Gallery Delivery
Within a few days, I’ll send a set of sneak peek images so you can relive the magic right away. Your full online gallery will arrive within 8 weeks.
FAQ: What If I’m Planning a Shorter Timeline?
If you’re planning a 2026 wedding but getting started late — don’t panic! I sometimes have last-minute availability, especially for weekday or off-season weddings. Always reach out, even if your date is close.
From your first email to your finished album, I’ll be here to make sure you feel supported, comfortable, and celebrated.
