Let’s hear it for the boooooy! 🎶✨

Getting ready photos are undoubtedly some of my favorite photos to take out of the entire wedding day! I love hyping up both my brides and my grooms and delivering GQ and Vogue status images is always my goal.

Brides tend to get a lot of love on Instagram, and obviously they should, it’s their big day! But it’s the grooms big day too! Here are some of my favorites from Shannon and Chandler’s wedding day. I absolutely loved his classic black tux mixed with the decor of this suite. Such a fun moment.

Let this be all the proof you need to care about even the smallest details that go into your wedding day. 🪴

Chelsea + Matt’s bohemian-styled wedding did NOT disappoint. From the Anthropologie-inspired es**rt wall, to the butterfly release during their first look, to the magician and glitter-infused cocktails, every single moment was laced with so much detail and intention. 🦋

Decide what your style is and run with it! Working with a planner + vendor team that really know how to bring your vision to life is key. Even if you just have a general idea, the right people will really be able to run with it and give you THE most magical and wonderful day, full of personality, life, and love.

Did you know that you get a complimentary engagement session when you book me for your wedding? 😍✨ YEP, you read that right!

Here’s why 👇🏼

✨ I believe in the “guest with a camera” philosophy for your wedding day. For us to feel like friends and not strangers on THE biggest day of your life — we need to HANG OUT. Apart from our Zoom calls or meeting up at a coffee shop, your engagement session is a chance for us to get to know each other and get past any pre-wedding day nervousness! Taking photos can be extremely vulnerable and nerve-wracking, but think about how much easier it can be when the person behind the camera is someone you trust and feel comfortable with!
✨ Engagement sessions are a great way for me to learn your vibe, what angles you do/don’t like, and learn more about you + your love! Capturing your love story is literally my job… but just like point #1, I believe I need to know your love story so I can capture it in its entirety.
✨ Plain and simple: y’all need save the date photos and other images to blast all over your social media until your wedding day 😉 It just makes sense, right?
✨ And on a final, more sentimental note… I just think it’s really special to be able to capture a very unique time in your life. I’m positive you’ll have plenty of photos of you + your partner married, as well as thousands of images of you guys pre-engagement. But how many photos will you have during your engagement? It’s a deeply special yet such a short time in your life. Let’s give you something to hold on to from it.

Let’s hear it for the bride + her crew ✨💍

01/06/2024

IN:
✨ “In the moment” wedding photos that take you back to every little bit of magic from your day
✨ Working with a photographer you trust to capture your most precious memories
✨ Heirloom photography — these aren’t just pictures, they are the only thing you truly get to “keep” and pass on from your wedding day
✨ FUN RECEPTION PHOTOS

OUT:
✨ Stuffy photography
✨ Stiff poses
✨ Timelines that take the magic out of the day and allow no room for fun or creatively
✨ Working with a photographer you don’t gel with ✋🏼

HI! Wow, it has been a minute. Somewhere in between travel, Christmas fun, alllll the mini sessions, and engagement sessions I forgot I had an Instagram account to share all of the aforementioned fun 😅

It’s been such a crazy month but it was SO much fun. However I won’t lie I’m so happy things are slowing down for a few months before wedding season starts up again :) I’m excited to create my vision board for 2024, refresh and reset, and lowkey hibernate for the next few weeks lol

Side note: Here are some fun sneaks from K + S’s Union Station engagement session! These two were honestly a BLAST. We laughed a lot… they’re just so sweet and so much fun, and I can’t wait to share more from their shoot. 🤍

I pray you all had a Merry Christmas with your loved ones and are enjoying a restful week before the New Year!

Three small sneak peeks from Robyn + Dustin’s engagement session this past weekend in Georgetown. I spent the entire time looking around thinking, “WHY do I not shoot here more?!” There are so many gems in Georgetown when you get off the main strip and go back into those gorgeous neighborhoods. The homes, the COLORS, all of it. So obsessed.

And THESE TWO? Are you kidding me. They are adorable + so sweet and in love. Cannot wait for their May wedding! Thankful they chose me to partner with them on this day.

10/07/2023

FILM PHOTOGRAPHY ADD-ONS 📸

Though film photography is undoubtedly timeless, it is definitely “trending” again in the wedding world, so to speak. And why not? It’s classic.

Film photography is perfect for the couple who wants an even more timeless approach to their finished wedding gallery and desires a unique and special touch to their special day. It’s something a little out of the ordinary and gives you that much more to look forward to in your finished gallery. It also allows you to see parts of your day that you didn’t even realize were captured. 🤍 More of my couples are choosing to add film photography onto their wedding day packages and it makes me SO excited! It’s just so fun + special.

October 🍂 is 🎃 HERE 👻

09/27/2023

Your wedding day is extremely precious and valuable. I know you know that, of course, but I mean it’s REALLY precious - and it goes so fast. The only thing you truly get to keep from that day that you spent months or years planning for are your wedding photos and/or video. Think of it like an heirloom that you will pass down for generations. Photography stops those precious moments in their tracks and preserves them so you can relive them again and again and again, for years and years to come. Who you hire to capture your wedding day matters. It’s not just a business transaction, or it shouldn’t be at least. You should work with someone you bond with, someone who feels like a friend, and who you can trust to care for your special moments just as much as you do. There’s a difference, believe me. And it’s worth the investment.
