Photo time! I'll send you some Sneak Peeks roughly one week after your wedding day, and then you'll receive your full gallery within eight weeks (usually sooner). Your photos will arrive fully edited, in high resolution and ready for immediate enjoyment. You can even buy prints, wall art and heirloom wedding albums directly from your gallery!
It's all come to this! All of that planning and hard work is about to pay off, and now it's time for you to simply sit back, be present and enjoy every single second of your perfect day. I'll be right there with you, providing the best energy, service and experience you could want for your wedding day.
We'll schedule an initial consultation via Zoom so we can put names to faces, talk more about your wedding day and go over my whole process/vibe. Bring all the questions!
Let's kick this thing off! Fill out the form on my Contact page so I can confirm availability and get a quick feel for your wedding day. I place a huge emphasis on communication, so I typically respond to all messages within a few hours.
From the moment you book my services, I become your wedding planning wingman. I'm here to help with whatever you need -- from timeline assistance, to vendor referrals and anything in between. We will also start planning your complimentary engagement session. Then, a few weeks before your wedding day, we will have our final planning call to go over all of the last minute details.
Woohoo! We're the perfect fit for each other and you're ready to book. I'll send you an electronic contract to sign, along with a link to make your deposit. After that, your date is officially reserved!

Because I’m awesome. Just kidding. Because I get the most joy by creating something beautiful and authentic for you. Because I love capturing your story in a way that’s as genuine and unique as you are. Because I prioritize making my clients as comfortable as possible while having as much fun as possible. Because I treat every single wedding with the highest level of care, warmth and positive energy. Because I’m super laid back and believe wholeheartedly in stress-free optimism. And because I’ll be here for you every step of the way
This part is super easy. Start by filling out my Contact form and I’ll get back to you super fast. Once we decide we're the perfect fit for each other, I will send you an electronic proposal to sign. That same proposal will allow you to submit your deposit, using any form of electronic payment, to officially reserve your date. The whole process—from the scheduling to the contract to the payment to the photo delivery—is done online, so everything can be handled from the comfort and convenience of your home computer or smartphone. It’s simple, quick and stress-free, exactly as it should be.
Most people are! (including me). You don’t have to worry about a single thing. Not only will I be directing, “soft posing” and guiding you through the entire photo session, but I’m also a super laid back person/photographer and I always provide an experience that will help you relax and enjoy yourselves. Seriously, within minutes of working with my couples, it always feels like we’re old friends. And my photo sessions just organically turn into laid back, fun hang-outs (with a camera). Above all, I’m going to make sure you look natural and fantastic, feel completely comfortable and have an awesome time.
My style evolves and adapts with every couple I photograph, but overall I’m always striving for a very candid and genuine feel to your photos. Also, I like to incorporate nature and vibrant colors whenever I can. I love contrasting grand, wide shots of the setting alongside close, intimate shots of the emotion and detail. My editing style is aimed at keeping things very true to how they appeared at the time. I simply wake up the light and colors to make your images pop, and then I add a slight “cinematic romantic moodiness” vibe. I believe it adds an intangible quality and character to the scene that feels more immersive and dramatic. My top priority is to make you look amazing and natural and beautiful, because you are.
Absolutely. I happily welcome anyone and everyone. All humans, all colors, all cultures, all religions, no religion, LGBTQ+ friendly. Love is love is love.
YES. I’m based in Asheville, NC but my gas tank is full and my passport is current! I include travel within 75 miles of my home in Asheville for all of my sessions. Anything outside that distance is simply 50 cents per mile. If the travel requires airfare or lodging, we’ll talk through that in the pre-booking phase.
I didn’t know either until I started wedding photography! A Bridal Session is a solo portrait session with just the bride, sometime before the wedding day. It’s a great opportunity to do a hair and makeup trial, as well as a dress try-on, while getting some beautiful photos all at the same time. There’s limited time on a wedding day for solo portraits, so this ensures some quality portraits without feeling rushed. Some brides like to display prints of their bridal session photos at their wedding reception as a little surprise decor for their guests to enjoy.
It varies slightly with each wedding. But on average, you can expect around 60-70 photos per hour of coverage.
You’ll get all of your photos back within 8 weeks of your wedding (it's usually sooner), and within 3 weeks for engagement and couples sessions. You’ll receive a gorgeous private online gallery where you can view, share and download all of your crisp, hi-resolution, professionally edited photos. Plus, I always provide a healthy serving of Sneak Peek photos about one week after your wedding so you can show off some sneaks on your social media and get excited about the rest of your gallery to come.
You bet I do. When you receive your online gallery of images you’ll be able to choose from a variety of high quality prints, wall art and heirloom wedding albums to purchase seamlessly from your gallery. There’s nothing better than being able to hold your cherished memories in your hands.
