...explained Mary Catherine as she told me the story of why she and Luke had picked Faith Presbyterian for their ceremony site.  Luke had grown up there, and Mary Catherine had interned there for two summers. They were set up by his sister, and the rest was history! It was the perfect place to celebrate their love!

Maybe you're hoping to get married in the same church you grew up in. Maybe you're dreaming of having peonies, of your childhood garden. Maybe you are having a your grandfather officiate, or your beloved pet's face embossed on the napkins.

No matter how special, sentimental or even silly, you're choosing each detail of your wedding with thought and care. That is why I work to intentionally document and preserve each detail and fleeting moment with a classic-meets-candid style that will have you re-living your wedding day for years to come.  

"it's truly the reason we are together, and will always hold a special place in my heart..."

Did you know that your photographer will spend more time with you than any other person on your wedding day? Wouldn't it be nice to spend the day with someone who is celebrating you as a couple, and not just another client?  This is why I invest time into getting to know my couples. While we talk about all the planning and organization of the wedding, we will also talk about YOU and YOUR story from the very first time we meet.

It's time for the engagement session! We will start by picking the perfect locations for you two. I have a list of locations that are great for whatever kind of vibe you are going for. I am also always down to explore new ones too! Engagement sessions are perfect ice-breakers. I hear all the time, "we are so awkward" or "we have never had pictures before, so we have no idea what we are doing" and it's ok, 95% of the people I photograph are in the same boat, but as you can see, getting comfortable and knowing the right poses is what I am here for! I promise to help you every step of the way!

Step 3:

Engagement Session

The Process

VIEW NEXT

Around two months out from your wedding date, we will start to go over all the specifics for the day, and create a photography timeline. We will go over everything from the little details to organizing the family shot lists, to coordinating with the planner and videographer to ensure we are all on the same page. That way you can be relaxed, and stress-free on your wedding day, knowing that it has already been handled. 

Step 4:

Wedding Day Prep

The Process

VIEW NEXT

It's here! Your dream wedding has arrived, and your only job is to sit back, relax, have fun, and ENJOY your wedding day! At this point everything has been well communicated and organized, so we know what to do.  I will be your biggest hype-girl, so get ready to feel like a celebrity for the day, as I capture the traditional must haves, the sweet candid moments, the dreamy portraits, and everything in between!

Step 5:

The Big Day!

The Process

VIEW NEXT

Grab the tissues! Your images are ready! Get ready to laugh, cry, and get all up in your feels, as you relive the magic of your wedding day, and even get a glimpse at the parts you didn't get to see with your own eyes. Within a few days, you will receive a sneak peek, and then you will receive your final gallery within 8 weeks or less. From this gallery you will be able to download, share, and even print keepsakes of your images for years to come. 

Step 6:

Relive Every Moment

The Process

After authentically capturing a beautiful day celebrating your love, your images deserve a classy and elegant home to stand the test of time. Not all my collections come with heirloom albums, but they may be added on at any time to any collection.
