My style is bright, joyful, and genuine! Since I spend time getting to know you, I'm able to complement your energy and guide you with prompts that fit your personality.

Your engagement session gallery will be ready in 2 weeks or less! You'll get sneak peeks from your wedding gallery within 48 hours, and you can expect your full gallery within 6 weeks - know that I'm working hard to get it to you as quickly as I possibly can!
Q:
A:
What makes you different from other photographers?
I am so deeply invested in making sure that your day is everything you dreamed of and more! I care about building real connection with you so that on wedding day it's more like a friend shows up to spend the day with you. When you book with me you're not just getting great photos - you're getting support and peace of mind!

What if I'm uncomfortable in front of a camera or I've never done it before?
No problem at all! Lots of people feel that way, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way. We'll focus on real interactions between you and your partner, not awkward "stand here and smile" kind of posing - you'll have so much fun you'll probably forget the camera is even there!

A:
How do we know if we'll be a good fit?
I love meeting and chatting with you before you book so that we can get to know each other! You'll be able to ask all your questions and go over all the important details so that you feel confident in booking with me.
Q:

Do you travel?
YES PLEASE!! You name the spot and I'll pack my bags! I absolutely love going new places, and I'm lucky to have photographed weddings in some truly beautiful places - Costa Rica, the Smoky Mountains, Colorado, and Montana so far!

I want to work together! How do we get started?
YAY!! I can't wait! If you haven't already reached out, just fill out my contact form so that we can get the ball rolling!
Q:
A:
Do you have backup gear?
ALWAYS! Your wedding is once in a lifetime, and that's NOT something you mess around with! I have multiple cameras, and each of those has multiple memory cards recording simultaneously. Plus I back up your images in several places so you know everything is safe and sound.
Q:
A:
What do couples say it's like to work with you?
The most common feedback I get is how comfortable I make people feel! Couples talk about how they have fun, feel taken care of, and how natural the day feels. They also love my reliable communication and how on top of things I am right from the beginning.
Q:
A:
How many weddings have you photographed?
I've had the privilege of photographing over 100 weddings of all sizes and styles. From huge ballroom celebrations, to intimate mountain elopements, to traditional Muslim ceremonies, each day is special and unique. I'm so grateful to have shared in so many incredible moments with my clients!
