The Elopement Experience
The big day is your day.
Just you and your partner, with maybe a few other close friends or family. A full day of activities that you and your partner love to do together, in a beautiful place. I will work with you closely to curate and plan the day from start to finish. I will scout the location to find the most picturesque spots with the best lighting. And best of all, your day will be stress-free, fun, and special to you and your love.
The Wedding Experience
Every wedding is the most important wedding I’ve ever photographed.
The fact that this is the day that people dream about their whole lives is something that I don’t take lightly. I’ve shot over 100 weddings so I feel very comfortable with how the day goes and have been told many times that I am a calming presence. I love seeing how each couple makes their day unique and I end up tearing up at least once at every wedding!
The Engagement Experience
Basically the best date ever! You get to dress up and frolic around in the mountains while I capture your unique and beautiful relationship. I will run all over the place (without damaging the wildlife) to get the shots, get way too excited about the pictures, and have a blast getting to know you better!
Can be booked a la carte, but if you book certain wedding packages with me, an engagement shoot is included!
The Family Experience
They grow up so fast.
It’s one of those cheesy sayings that is so incredibly true. Even though I have no human children of my own, I believe that photographs of the love shared in a family are a priceless gift. For my family sessions, I love getting to capture families doing their favorite activities together, and letting their kids run around and have fun. P.S. - A family could be just you and your dog, a family is a family.
Our relationship begins long before your photography session, and will continue long after it! These images are made to last a lifetime so when you book with me, I’m fully committed to you and your vision for your day. Here’s a run-down of how I do things:
1. Once you fill out the contact form, I’ll do a little dance! You’ll get an e-mail back within 24 hours, and if I’m available on your desired date, we will meet either in-person or virtually to talk about the timeline, location, lighting, and most importantly, who you are and what you value in life and in photography.
2. After we get the initial details squared away, it’s time to make things official! I will send you a proposal and a 50% deposit will reserve your date.
3. Up until the day of your elopement, wedding, or other session, I am always happy to help in whatever way I can. Whether you have questions on outfits, locations, vendors or anything else, I am here for you!
4. One month before you say “I do”, we will finalize the timeline and all the details (I am extremely detail-oriented!). On the big day, all the planning will have been worth it and you will enjoy it so much you may not remember it all, but that’s why I’m there! I will be there laughing and crying right along with you.
5. I will send you ~10 sneak peek images within five days of your wedding, and the full online gallery within 8 weeks. (Engagements and family sessions are turned around within two weeks) The online gallery is a beautiful display of all the wonderful moments to share with family and friends, and can download both high-resolution and web-size photos.
