my gift is making sure you get to experience every second of it
You deserve to feel your day, not perform for it. My gift is creating a space where you can fully show up, be present, and let the joy naturally unfold. Making sure your day is captured in its brightest, most joy-filled form.
Joy is meant to be felt, not forced.
Posing
after 13+ years photographing weddings, I created a posing method tailored specifically to you so your photos will be natural + joyful
Every couple is different, so every session is customized directly to YOU. For example, I don’t tell you to just hold hands and look at each other, I help prompt customized directions that will only make sense for you two to bring out your true joy and emotion. This is why every session is so different and it’s impossible to be “bad” at taking photos!
So don’t worry, I WILL MAKE YOU LOOK + FEEL FREAKIN AWESOME, I PROMISE.
trust
You have permission to trust me fully. I do this for YOU and promise to help make your day laid back.
