with me you get

Fun engagements

 

No awkward prom poses. No “what do I do with my hands?” energy. Just you two being your weird, cute, chaotic selves in a place that actually means something to you. I’ll guide you just enough so it feels effortless, and then let the real magic happen.

 

Fast turnaround

You’re not waiting 6 months wondering if I disappeared. You’ll get sneak peeks the next day (because I know you’re dying to post), and your full gallery within 2 - 3 months so you can relive every second while it still feels fresh.

Confident Direction

I’ve got you. I’ll keep things moving, fix the chaos, line up your people, and gently bully your drunk uncle into cooperating (love this for me) so you can stay present and actually enjoy your day.

Timeless editing

 

Trendy edits are cute… until they’re not. I keep your colors rich, true, and a little moody so your photos still hit just as hard in 20 years as they do right now.

 

Straight talk

No fluff. No confusing photography jargon. No pretending everything is “fine” when it’s not. I’ll tell you what works, what doesn’t, and how to get the best possible experience, always.

Expertise & Flexibility

Bad lighting? Weird weather? Timeline running late? Cool. I’ve been doing this long enough to handle it all without you even noticing. I’ll make it look damn good no matter what we’re working with.

FAQ

 

What is your photographic style?

My shooting style leans heavily into photojournalism. I’m watching, anticipating, and capturing moments as they actually happen… the real, unfiltered stuff. And don’t worry if being in front of a camera feels awkward as hell, I’ve got you. I like to lend a helping hand in direction by leading with prompts, not forced posing.

As for editing, I float somewhere between film-inspired, bold, true-to-color, and a little moody depending on the vibe. I’m not slapping the same preset on every image and calling it a day, I edit based on the feeling of the moment. The goal? When you look back at your photos, they don’t just look good… they feel exactly like that day did.

I'm awkward and not photogenic. Help!

I hear this literally all the time... and I’m gonna say it anyway: no, you’re not. You just haven’t had the right person behind the camera yet. That’s where I come in.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to “be good at photos.” That’s my job. I’ll guide you, hype you up, give you things to do instead of just standing there like 🧍‍♀️, and help you settle into being yourself.

If you’re feeling insecure, shy, anxious… tell me. Seriously. I care way more about you feeling safe and seen than forcing anything fake. By the end of it, it won’t feel like a photoshoot, it’ll feel like you just hung out with a friend who happened to have a camera… and got really f*cking good photos out of it.

Can I make additional editing requests after I receive my images?

Short answer: kinda... but not in the way you might be thinking.

Every image you receive is already fully edited with my signature style. Color, tone, mood, all of it. That’s a huge part of why you hired me, and I don’t tweak that after delivery because then it’s no longer a true reflection of my work.

That said, if you want extra retouching (think: flyaway hairs, skin touch-ups, removing distractions in the background, etc.), I’ve got you. Those can absolutely be done for $20 per image.

Basically... vibe stays, little fixes are fair game.

What kind of gear do you use?

I shoot with two Canon R6 mirrorless bodies with dual memory card slots.

Additionally I am equipped with the following lenses & lighting equipment:

  • Canon RF 35mm f/1.8
  • Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4
  • Canon 135mm f/1.8
  • Tamron 70mm-200mm f/2.8
  • Canon L Series 28mm-70mm f/2
  • 3 Godox V860II Speedlights
  • Magmod Magnetic Flash System

YOU DESERVE TO FEEL YOUR DAY, NOT PERFORM IT

 

Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a living, breathing, chaotic, emotional day. I’m there for all of it. The quiet, the loud, the in-between. The real.
