the wedding experience
Because every picture tells a story, let me help you tell yours.
My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it's a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. When my couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, that results in genuine joyful images. When I think back to my wedding day, I remember amazing memories… but most of the moments I remember really well, are the instances that were captured in my pictures. They're priceless to me. Our photographer made us feel so comfortable and for the first time, I experienced what it feels like to be in front of the camera as a bride. Your wedding day is an experience from beginning to end and your photography is a huge part of that experience… shouldn't it be fun? And enjoyable? And natural? I think so! My goal is to not only capture memories for my clients, it's to create an experience that they will never forget.

This is for those images you'll have for a lifetime. For many families it's an essential tradition that has been done for generations.
handcrafted albums
"The album is the heirloom that lives on; the gift of experiencing one’s photographs time and time again. It is the most valuable item we offer as photographers."
All of my albums are at the very top of the market in quality, with a lifetime guarantee because they are made to last a lifetime. Handmade in the USA by a team of designers and craftsmen.
In the digital age, I believe the experience of printed photos plays a vital role in family history.
While it is wonderful to be able to share images with friends and family across the world in moments,
there is no replacement for the tangibility of sharing an album of memories... by candlelight with your love, or at Sunday dinner with your grandchildren.
My goal is to share and preserve your stories through the experience of print.
Your album is handmade with close attention to detail using the finest archival materials that last a lifetime.
These high-end albums feature beautiful cover options and personalization to make them uniquely your own.

WEDDING photography faq's
THE FIRST STEP
The first step to working together is to set up a phone call with you and your fiance. This discovery call is the perfect way to ask questions, hear about the process, and discover if we are the perfect fit to work together.
ENGAGEMENTS
I think an engagement session is a great way to get know each other, and more importantly, a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera! I have lots of location suggestions and also love it when my couples ask me to photograph them in a location that means something special to them. We can schedule the engagement session at any point during the process and I offer full guidance in styling and what to wear with an incredible guide that I send to my couples.
DIGITAL PHOTOS
I average 100 photos per hour when shooting a wedding. All photos are delivered through an online gallery that can be easily shared with friends and family. Professional prints and art can be ordered through this gallery as well. You can expect your photos in just 3-4 weeks after the wedding! I know you are excited, and I don't want to keep you waiting!
INSURANCE
I arrive at your wedding with a multitude of lenses & equipment to be prepared for any situation. I also carry professional business liability insurance. If your venue needs a certificate of insurance, I have no problem supplying that.
BOOKING
Once we decide to work together, I will send an online client proposal with your package, payment method, and contract. You can sign directly online simply by typing your names. You can also check the details of your package, as well as view and make payments at any time in your personal client portal. If parents are helping to pay for your package, they can also access this area and make payments for you.
PAYMENT
I accept cash, credit, and checks. All sales are subject to California sales tax, unless you live out of state, please let me know. A $1000 retainer is required to reserve your date. The remainder is due by 30 days before the wedding.
thank you
I’m so glad you contacted me!
Enjoy this season of engagement and get excited about your big day
because it's going to be fabulous!
Plan and prepare, but always remember that at the end of the day, you're marrying the love of your life and that's all that really matters.
Congratulations on your engagement and I look forward to hearing from you!
