You’re getting married!! That is the best news ever! As a former bride, (with a pandemic wedding at that!) I know very intimately the range of feelings you might be experiencing. Eagerness about the big day, nerves about the cost, stressing about the planning...I just want to take a moment to reassure you that these are all valid and totally normal. I'd love to get to walk with you + your partner through the coming days, and hopefully get to help make your day everything you've been dreaming about and more.
I love this quote, because I think it emphasizes why photography is so important. It's a means of storytelling; and it's one that can convey and evoke emotion from people like no other. In 50 years, when perhaps many of the people in a photograph may have died, the photo itself serves as a living, breathing memory of those people. As a storyteller and documenter - this is what I can give to you. Memories of you + your loved ones that you can not only see, but hear, taste, smell, feel.

As a storyteller, I love getting to learn about what makes you, you. What your relationship is like, the way you interact with each other. Because I understand that each couple is unique, I like to approach your shoot as such. I'll offer what I describe as "light" posing guidance that allows your natural movements and personalities to shine.
When it comes to telling your story, my approach is journalistic and documentary in nature. This means that I aim to capture the true essence of what is happening in each moment as accurately as possible. My goal is to tell your story exactly how it is, with all of its beautiful details peeking through.
Step number one is to send me an inquiry here! I promise, my form is pretty simple. :) After I receive your message, I like to set up a quick call to get to chat about who you + your partner are and what you guys have in mind for your wedding day. If you're ready to book, I'll send you a customized proposal (contract + invoice). Once you sign the contract and pay the 30% retainer, you're officially on my calendar!
YES BABES! I travel both domestically + internationally. If you're having a destination wedding, or even if you're just out of my home state of PA, it'd be my honor to get to travel where you are! I have a set travel fee for both domestic and international weddings. Just reach out for more info and I'd be happy to share!
I actually don't measure or limit the amount of photos you receive! My goal is for you to have as many beautiful pictures from your day as possible. Usually, for a wedding day you can count on at least 500 photos. Again, I don't have a particular number set in stone.
Absolutely! As both a former bride and a current wedding vendor, I know how crazy expensive a wedding can be. My goal is to try to alleviate some of the cost-related stress by offering payment plans that work for you. Whether you'd like to split your package into 3, 4, or 5+ payments - it's all up to you!
Currently I offer shoots primarily geared toward couples: weddings, elopements, proposals, engagements, couples shoots that are "just because!" I also offer a limited amount of portrait sessions throughout the year, (both studio and non-studio) which includes branding sessions. Both couples and portrait sessions start at $450.
