We love working with our clients, who end up becoming more like friends. We laugh, share good memories, and encourage each other towards greatness. We hope our clients trust our advice, our style, & our vision. If you’re wanting to create emotional imagery & organic images that marvel you, that bring that smile out, & tears to your eyes, we are a good fit.

+++ what do you shoot with? 

I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV and a Canon 6D Mark II. I always shoot with a 50mm 1.2, with a 35mm f/1.4, 70-200m f/2.8, and 24 - 105mm f/4 and some extra lenses depending on the setting. 

+++ do you require a retainer fee to secure my wedding date?

Yes. We have a nonrefundable 25% retainer fee plus a signed contract to secure your date.

+++ I love your work, but I’m afraid you might be out of my budget. Should I still reach out?

Absolutely, please reach out! I loving hearing about what you are envisioning for your first day of marriage! I could be having an off season, traveling to your area, or I have vendor-friends I can recommend to you too.

+++ are second shooters included? 

If you want one, there is an extra fee to compensate them for their talent & time assisting me. My second photographer's are great to have along if you want extra angles. However, I have shot several weddings on my own and am totally comfortable photographing a wedding on my own! Weekday weddings do not come with a second shooter//can be negotiated.

+++ how many hours should i book you for? 

Ideally, I believe that 8 hours is the perfect amount of time for me to capture all the details of your wedding. Some wedding days do require more coverage, so we can go into a more customized timeline for you! I have helpful timelines for your aid, and we can even meet for coffee to go over what is best for your wedding day. I love coffee & wedding conversations. 

+++ how many photos should I expect?

I love the story-telling aspect of photography! The emotions, power of a commitment, and the "real moments" or "in-between" shots get me fired up, because those are truly organic. With that in mind, you will likely get roughly 75-100 images an hour.

+++ are engagement and/or bridal shoots included? 

I have packages that include engagement shoots and/or bridal shoots that are discounted. Let's go adventure somewhere cool.

+++ what should i wear to my engagement shoot?

I have a guide to help you with your expectations for your engagement session - what to expect, how to feel more comfortable, etc. I have a Pinterest board as well!

+++ do you travel for sessions and/or weddings?

Yes! We would love to travel with you or to you to celebrate your love! Those prices are custom, so we can chat about that together.

+++ do you make wedding albums of our photos?

I can! When I send you the gallery with your edited images, there is a shop attached to it with loads of options for albums. You can choose the material, size, and paper material. You can customize it yourself, use the shops “automatic” album maker with your favorited images, or I can make a personalized one for you! If you want another option, I adore the quality of artifact uprising.

+++ Do you do mini sessions?

Yes, but only if I announce I am doing them. However, for the remainder for 2021, I will offer a 30 minute mini session at Garden of the Gods for $300 on a date and time that works for both our schedules.
