Listen. Almost every single person getting married has never been in front of a professional lens before. And that's okay! Keeping you comfy and fading into the background while you enjoy your day is my number one priority.
For portraits, you can count on me to gently direct you through movement and moments with your partner that showcase your connection. You won't see me painstakingly molding you into static poses, but I won't leave you hanging, either. I'm your creative partner in this process and it's my job to strike the balance between delivering photos you're happy with, that are also undeniably, authentically, fully you.
As a lifelong story teller, my goal is to capture the little moments between the poses. You'll find stolen looks, hand squeezes, and inside jokes in all of my couples' galleries. I focus exclusively on authentic, documentary style photos unique to each human and brand. Throughout our day together, you'll mostly find me chasing those candid shots that are brimming with emotion.
What you can expect from me is sincere, heartfelt connection, thoughtful communication, and a vibe that's tailored exactly to the type of love between you and your partner. If you're goofy, let's be goofy! If you're sweet, let's make it sweet. I'm never going to tell you to "smile" or give me a fake laugh - we're gonna get all the realness on camera. Real tears, real laughter, real stolen kisses.
Intentionality is at the heart of everything I do. The journey that brought you here is full of little moments and details that you thoughtfully, intentionally, pulled together. My job is to match your level of commitment and to be a meaningful part of your intimate, joyous, and carefree day.
EXPERIENCE
"What if we're awkward in front of the camera?"
I sure do! I specialize in the western United States (Oregon, Washington, California) as well as Italy and Slovenia. Your total costs for photography and travel will always be up front in your contract, and you'll never be surprised by the final cost.
I do offer film for couples who would like to add it to their photo package. I love incorporating film because it forces us to slow down at times, breathe, and be intentional about key moments. However rest assured that if we only take digital photos together, I am still drawn to the softer, nostalgic, and honest look of film. You'll find a hint of that vibe in all of my edits, regardless of the tools I'm using. If you're interested in adding on film, let me know when you inquire!
YES. Absolutely, always. I shoot with two (sometimes three) cameras at all times just in case one fails. My cameras also have two slots for SD cards so I’m copying your photos twice. As soon as I get home, I load photos onto an external hard drive and in cloud storage to ensure their safety.
Being based in the Pacific Northwest, I am so prepared for rain! I love the way it can show up in photos, too. That said, it’s important to be flexible and prepared. If we’re shooting outdoors, I ask that everyone bring rain gear just in case. If we’re in a place where indoor shooting is possible, we can also always move indoors. If there is lightning, I will ask that we take cover for safety until the storm is over.
Maybe! I tend to recommend second shooters for weddings over 150 people. Once I have a sense of what you're looking for, I can provide more accurate advice. For those who want that extra coverage, I do offer second shooters as an add-on.
I do not offer RAW photos as part of any of my packages. However, rest assured that you will have plenty of photos to remember your day by! To get a sense of my editing style, please take a careful look at my portfolio to make sure you’re excited about it. The venue, lighting, etc., may change how photos look from album to album, but you’ll see a common theme regardless.
I deliver a sneak peek of photos within one week after shooting your event. Your fully edited album will be in your (digital) hands within 8 - 10 weeks after your wedding or elopement.
Yes, absolutely. You can download all of your photos, in high resolution, for free. I never charge per download. If you'd like prints, you can print directly from my website or I can refer you to local printers that will do your photos justice.
I can help you find locations, understand permits, and work with vendors to make your day as seamless and special as it should be. If you'd like me to serve as your planner, let me know when you reach out!
