Let’s be honest, anyone can just show up and take pictures.

Did she really just say that?! Yep - I did!

But the thing is, you don’t want just anyone - you want someone who’s going to listen to your story, dive deep into the vision you’ve dreamed up for your wedding photos, and work with you to bring that vision to life.

I WILL BE THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Planning an engagement session that’s unique to you.

From helping you pick out outfits to choosing a location that fits your vibe, we’ll work together to plan the engagement session of your dreams. Want to hike up a mountain at sunrise? Let’s do it! Want to grab ice cream and stroll through your favorite small town? I’m there!

Sending you questionnaires and guides throughout the process to make sure we’re on the same page with your vision.

From the moment you book with me up until your wedding day, I'm invested in you, your story, and your vision for your wedding day. Throughout the process you'll receive a get to know you questionnaire, a wedding guide full of tips and tricks, and a wedding day questionnaire that goes over every little detail I need to make sure your day runs smoothly. 

Working together to create a wedding day timeline and shot list that captures all the best moments of your day.

Once the final questionnaires are complete, I’ll reach out to you with a document that goes over all the details of the day - from the timeline to the shots you marked as most important. Then we’ll hop on a call and review it together before the big day to make sure nothing was missed - and to shake off some of your nerves!

Open communication throughout the whole process.

Look, I get it, I’ve been there. You’re trusting me to capture one of the most important days of your life. You want to make sure that everything is captured perfectly, and you’ve got enough on your plate to stress about as is. That’s why I keep communication open throughout the planning process. If you need to vent, if you need to someone to bounce ideas off of, if you need someone who’s going to hype you up for wanting to add a pizza bar to your reception - I’m here for you. I mean it.

Your wedding photos are a part of your legacy.

You want to look back on these photos in 50 years and still feel all the feelings of your wedding day. That’s why it’s crucial to choose someone that you know you will work well with, someone who cares about your story and your legacy, and someone who’s going to do whatever it takes to get authentic, natural photos. 

You’re in the right place if...

- The thought of a hyper bubbly, paparazzi style photographer makes you cringe

- You’re looking for someone who will feel more like a friend on your wedding day than that stiff photographer we all remember from school photo day * *shudders* *

- You want photos that show ALLLL of the emotions that come along with getting married - not just the big "say cheese" moments

- You want someone who appreciates all of the unique little quirks that make up your story

- You’re not afraid to show off your weird and silly side when you’re around your partner

- You want someone who’s organized and can help keep the day on track, but won’t micromanage your time when special moments pop up throughout the day

- You love a good adventure (okay, this one is just an added bonus)

Still have some questions?!

I got you covered.

Where are you based out of?

I'm based out of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania but I love to travel! I typically shoot weddings and elopements all over Central Pennsylvania and the surrounding states.

HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?

You can expect 75-100 images per hour of coverage

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DELIVER THE IMAGES?

Full wedding galleries take 8 weeks, and all other sessions take 2 weeks! I also provide sneak peeks within 48 hours of the session/wedding.

DO YOU CUSTOMIZE WEDDING PACKAGES?

Absolutely! I understand that each couple's needs are unique. Fill out my contact form with what you're looking for, and then we can talk about how to customize one of my base packages.

HOW WILL OUR PHOTOS BE DELIVERED?

All wedding galleries are delivered via an online gallery where you can view and download your photos, and even order prints. I also have add ons for USBs and wedding albums.

WE’RE REALLY AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA - IS THIS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM?

Absolutely not! I’ve been doing this thing for years, and I know how to guide you with prompts to make your session feel more like a date with each other than having your photos taken. I promise it’ll be fun!

WHAT IF YOU HAVEN’T SHOT AT OUR VENUE BEFORE?

No biggie! To scope out the best photo spots, I always arrive a half hour early, or take a venue tour with you if our schedules allow.

DO YOU HAVE FULL WEDDING GALLERIES FOR ME TO LOOK THROUGH?

Absolutely! You can check out wedding galleries on my blog here, or I can send you full galleries upon request!
