Lipstick removed from teeth. Boutonnieres affixed. Necklaces fixed. Dresses steamed, buttoned, and bustled. Schedules planned. Deep breath, hydration, and snack reminders given. Tissues and sweat-rags supplied. Guests wrangled. Veils untangled. Ties tied. Tears dried.
Oh, you wanted to know about the photography experience. I see now. Well I do that other stuff too.

Today You are You; That is Truer than True
Imagine if instead of emulating joy with your "picture smile", you just...felt joy. Or if instead of posing for a photo with the love of your life, you were just with them.
Or maybe it's not bubbling joy in that moment. Maybe it's contentment. Maybe it's the relief of night air cooling your skin after screaming Get Low at the top of your lungs.
I'm not trying to box you in or impose a vision of what you should look or feel like. I just want you to know your'e safe being yourself with me. Show me realness in your joy, anxiety, nervousness, and overwhelm, and I'll show it right back to you in hundreds of spirited memories.
there is no one alive that is youer than you
how it happens
I will be your silent guardian. Your watchful protector. Your Dark Knight. Mostly. I am NOT silent. And while I may not stick to the shadow, I'll be unobtrusive. My first priority is to create beautiful photos out of epic memories; you will laugh so much. But a VERY close second is making sure you have an amazing, stress-free day.
3. During the wedding
It's the morning after the wedding, and you head to brunch to fill your tummies and hearts one more time. As you're saying goodbye to the early leavers, your phone buzzes. It's a text from me: "hey there you ready for some previews?" You will, indeed, be ready.
4. after the wedding
First things's first, we'll hop on a quick phone call to talk about what you want and the basics of pricing. If we're on the same page, we'll schedule a coffee or Zoom meeting to go through ALL the details. Having learned exactly what's important to you, I'll put together a customized proposal along with whatever payment schedule works best for you.
a simplified roadmap of our ✨journey together✨
the whole process, starting with now
Get ready for a METRIC SHIT TON of homework. Just kidding. Mostly. After you say "I do" to me (not like that, weirdo), we'll have several different cleverly-planned opportunities to get to know each other. If I know everything you want, I can make sure you have it. If you can call me a friend, you’ll trust me to represent you exactly as you are.
