Let's get started!

THANK you

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH SHORTLY

Yes absolutely. It is super important to try and make sure your time slots are accurate, however, I totally get it and will extend my time by the hour for an hourly rate.

+ what if our day runs a little late? will you stay?

Absolutely, my travel fees are included in all of my packages so you don't have to worry about any extra, unexpected costs! Unless you're a destination if this is you we will discuss travel fees.

+ when can we expect our photos?

Wedding clients can expect a preview gallery within 72 hours of your wedding day with the full gallery ready in 8-10 weeks during busy months.

Portrait clients can expect anywhere from 3-6 weeks depending on the time of year,

+ do you travel outside of wi?

I recommend a second shooter for weddings with different getting ready locations or for couples who want emphasis on candids at the reception because they have friends/family flying in, or if you want reception/ceremony set up photos, as well as anything over 7 hours. 

+ do you have a second shooter?

weddings + elopements: non-refundable retainer fee of $2,500  paid and contract signed. All portrait sessions: 50% and contract signed.

+ How do I reserve my date? 

Absolutely 

+ What is the best way to go about printing our photos? 

You can order prints through your online gallery that I deliver to you! I can help with the ordering process if you need it. I also offer custom album servives.

+ Do you have insurance?

Nope.  I believe that editing is half the magic that goes into images and without this huge step the images are only halfway done. I promise to never leave any photos out that you’ll want/need, and if you feel I missed delivering a photo, just ask! I’m more than happy to check back through my images and send it over to you (I make mistakes, no lie!). I won’t let you miss out on your memories!

+ Can I have the RAW images?

Each year this changes, but this year I’m only accepting under 5-6. I do this so I can give my couples the best experience and photos possible and not spread myself thin. I focus on quality, not quantity. I’m not in this for the money, I’m in this for you.

+ how many weddings do you take per year? 

I don’t alter the way you look other than skin blemishes or anything temporary that would not normally be there (bruise, scrape, acne etc unless you’d like me to keep it the photos). If you’re self conscious about something, please let me know as I’ll be sure to be extra aware of that while I’m posing you.

+ will you photoshop us?

This is hands down the most common thing I hear in inquires. Couples come to me wanting genuine  honest imagery, but thinking they're too awkward to achieve it. 

If you feel this way, too, I can confidently say that I am the photographer for you! I have a number of methods to unsure my couples are having fun and not feeling awkward. I place equal importance on documenting effortless, natural images, while making sure my couple feels comfortable. Resulting in that candid, documentary style of imagery I'm known for.

Connection and trust foster all sorts of good things around here. I'm not a vendor and you're not my client. We're friends. It's cheesy and weird, but I get really invested in my couples because I really do care so so much and want to be more than just a photographer to you. Let's focus on creating together rather than just 'getting photos done'. I stress the importance of connection because I make my best work for couples I consider friends. My main focus above all else is that my couples are having a good time. Most of my couples show up uneasy saying “Sorry, we’re awkward and hate getting our photo taken”, and by the end they’re going on about how easy and fun it was. Trust me, getting photos taken doesn’t have to suck or be awkward in any way, and I will make sure you have a damn good time.

My work is heavily focused around capturing real moments. I'm very sentimental at heart and place a large importance on capturing the look and feel of each wedding day.

When possible, I'll guide couples into beautiful light and encourage them to relax, let go, and enjoy. From there I capture all the beauty that unfolds naturally as it is. I am happy to offer my couples prompts and editorial posing as needed. However, often couples are caught up in have a great time and enjoying the moment with each other- they don't need my help.

Another common question is "what does a 'typical' wedding day with you look like?" The answer: there is no such thing as a 'typical' wedding day.

While most weddings do generally follow a similar flow, each couple is unique. Their wedding day deserves to be seen as unique, too. Viewing my couple's wedding days in this way keeps me on my toes + ensures I'm never on 'auto-pilot.'

Each couple can expect a mix of me being either an observer or a participant in their day. Sometimes, I'll be a fly on the wall - discreetly capturing quiet + intimate moments. Other times, I'll be right in the action, encouraging laughs + big smiles.

I'm all about couples breaking traditions and doing things their way— because that’s how it really SHOULD be. It breaks my heart when I hear couples saying “I wish we had a smaller wedding” or, “we wish we would have eloped” or, “we actually don’t even like cake” as they’re about to cut their wedding cake. Wanna get married at a music festival? Hell yeah. Or maybe go backpacking through the desert for the weekend and exchange vows on the edge of a cliff? Wear a black wedding dress and a green suit? Maybe go bar hopping with your friends and family through a foreign country before the big day? Skip out on all the pressures of a wedding and elope with your best friends? Whatever it is that would make your day feel like your own, I’m a full-on supporter, and am here to help you every step of the way. Whatever you’re wanting documented— it’s worth being captured in a way that will bring back all the feels for generations to come. I want you to be able to look back at these photos for decades and feel the love you feel for each other right now. I want them to be meaningful to you. I want them to speak your truth. Because that’s what this is REALLY all about.

Photography is the only thing that lasts past your wedding day. Your photos are something that will only increase in value over time, as the images get passed down from one generation to the next.

If photography isn't something you value + you’re shopping around for a deal, trust me — I’m not that. And that's ok! Everyone values different things.

I'm priced to reflect a unique style, my razor-sharp eye for detail, years of practicing + perfecting, and the experience I provide to my couples and their guests. Couples on average invest $7000 or more with me. I’m passionate about working with couples who believe in the value of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime. 

I want photography to be more than something on your checklist of things to do for your wedding. You don’t realize it now while you’re so focused on centerpieces, and who’s sitting where, and bridesmaid dresses, and florals— but photography is really the only thing that lasts past your wedding day. The number one thing I hear from couples who went cheap on photos for their wedding is how much they regret it. Photographs are something that will only increase in value over time as the images get passed down for generations. If you’re shopping around just trying to find the cheapest deal, trust me, I’m not that. And that’s okay, because you deserve to have a photographer that will fit all of your wants and needs— including your budget. I’m passionate about capturing couples who believe in the value of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime.

My friends and family mean everything to me. This sentiment is usually shared by couples who book me. A common regret I hear from couples is that their photographer didn't spend much time or care documenting their guests. It's a real shame, especially considering how many guests often travel interstate or internationally for weddings these days.

As such, I make every effort to capture & deliver as many candid photos of my couples with their friends + family as possible. If this is something that's extra important to you, and you're having more than 80 guests - you should consider having a second shooter to help capture more of your guests!

One of the greatest compliments I've ever received was that "I capture the true essence of my couples, no matter the style of their wedding or elopement." I am a huge advocate for couples doing what feels true to them. If you love traditions, I'll be there to capture them all. If you're a fan of breaking the mold and doing something different — I'll cheer you on in that, too!

Whatever it is that would make your day feel like your own, I’m a full-on supporter, and am here to help you every step of the way. Anything you’re wanting documented is worth being captured in a way that will bring back all the feels for generations to come. I want you to be able to look back at these photos for decades and feel the love you feel for each other right now. I want them to be meaningful to you.

If you've made it through points 1 through 7 and you're still keen to work together, that's a great sign! I want us both to be screaming from the rooftops and doing happy dances in our sweats at home about working together— that’s what you deserve from a photographer.

I put this all out in the open to give couples real insight into my business, to see if we’re the right fit for each other. If you don't vibe with these points, I would much rather you go with another photographer for you to get the best possible experience. The experience you have with your photographer strongly reflects how you feel about your photos later on.

If you think I might be the perfect photographer for you, reach out and let's chat! I want us all to feel excited and confident about working together. Mutual trust, respect, and excitement creates the space to take heart-stopping photographs.
