Your wedding is more than a single day, it's the beginning of a legacy. That’s why I don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages. Instead, I create collections that reflect your unique story, priorities, and the way you want to feel every time you revisit these images.
Every couple receives a curated, high-touch experience, complete with timeline guidance, all the best images from your day (edited in our signature style), and optional heirloom products like albums and fine art prints.
Wedding collections begin at $3,800, with most couples investing between $5,200–$7,800 for a personalized, full-service experience.
Let’s connect to craft the collection that feels right for you.

Common FAQs
Q: How long have you been a photographer?
A: I fell in love with storytelling through images early on, and turned professional in 2012. I've now been a full-time photographer for over 10 years, it’s incredible how quickly time flies when you’re doing what you love.
A: I've photographed over 200 weddings and events as the lead photographer, along with more than 1,500 portrait sessions. For over a decade, my weekends have been filled with love stories, celebrations, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Q: Do I need a second photographer?
A: It depends on your guest count and priorities. If you’re planning over 100 guests, want full guest coverage, or desire multiple angles of key moments, a second photographer is a great addition.
Otherwise, I have photographed over 100 weddings solo with beautiful, complete results. I focus on quality, experience, and capturing what matters most, always. (And yes, I only hired one photographer for my own wedding too.)
Q: Do I need an engagement session?
A: I highly recommend it. Engagement sessions give you beautiful images for save-the-dates, invitations, your wedding website, and home décor. They also help you feel more relaxed in front of the camera and give us a chance to connect before the wedding day.
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: I carry two professional Canon mirrorless cameras (R5II and R5) and professional lenses throughout the day. I’m always ready to capture each moment without missing a beat, no switching lenses, no delays, just full attention on your story.
Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, guest books, etc?
A: Absolutely. Once your gallery is delivered, you’ll have access to order fine art heirloom albums, framed prints, canvases, and custom guest books, all directly through your online gallery at your convenience.
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes. Standard payments are 30% at booking and 70% due 30 days before your wedding. If you prefer smaller installments, we can split your balance into thirds or quarters, whatever feels most comfortable for you.
Q: what happens if you aren't able to make it to our big day?
In the rare event of an emergency, I have trusted colleagues with a similar style ready to step in. In over a decade of photographing weddings, I’ve never missed a day, not even by a minute.
Q: How do I book you for my wedding day?
A: Simply let me know:
- Your desired coverage hours
- Whether you’d like an engagement session
- Whether you want a second photographer
- Your preferred payment plan
Once we finalize the details, I’ll send you a booking proposal to officially reserve your date.

You can expect an average of 50–75 high-resolution images per hour of coverage, a personal-use print release, and a seamless experience shaped by over a decade of wedding expertise. From start to finish, my goal is to make the process feel thoughtful, calm, and truly tailored to you. Heirloom albums, wall art, and additional sessions are always available to add when the time feels right.
