Absolutely. In fact, that's one of the first things most couples tell me.
You don't need modeling experience or perfectly practiced poses. My approach is all about creating an environment where you feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely connected. I'll guide you every step of the way with natural prompts, a little humor, and plenty of encouragement, so you can focus on each other instead of the camera.
Most couples end up telling me, "That was actually a lot of fun."
My style is authentic, emotional, and story-driven.
While I'll always capture the timeless portraits your family will cherish, my favorite moments are the ones that happen naturally—the laughter between friends, the tears during your vows, the quiet glance you share when no one else is looking.
I want your gallery to feel like your wedding, not a collection of poses.
Every wedding is different, so I don't believe in limiting your memories to a specific number.
You'll receive a carefully curated gallery filled with the best moments from your day, professionally edited and delivered in an online gallery that's easy to download, share, and enjoy.
My focus is on quality, storytelling, and preserving every meaningful moment.
Most couples reserve their wedding date 9–18 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall weekends.
The best bet is to reserve a FALL wedding date 18-24 months in advance, and a spring/summer date 12-18 months in advance
If you've chosen your venue and set your date, it's a great time to reach out. I only accept a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives the personalized experience they deserve.
Absolutely.
Whether you're celebrating close to home or planning a destination wedding, I'd love to tell your story wherever it takes place.
Travel details are customized based on your wedding location.
There are no travel fees for weddings in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, New York, and California.
Yes! One of the most valuable parts of working together happens long before your wedding day.
I'll help you create a photography timeline that allows your day to flow naturally, builds in time for meaningful moments, and helps you stay present instead of feeling rushed.
A well-planned timeline means less stress and more opportunities for genuine memories. If you have a planner, we will work with your planner as well!
We'll start with a conversation.
I want to hear about your relationship, your wedding vision, and what matters most to you. This is your opportunity to ask questions, get to know me, and make sure we're the right fit for each other.
If you decide to move forward, I'll guide you through every step of the process—from planning your engagement session to creating a timeline that helps your wedding day unfold naturally.
Without question.
Love deserves to be celebrated in all its forms, and every couple deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and celebrated exactly as they are.
My goal is to create a safe, inclusive experience where you can fully be yourselves and enjoy your wedding day with confidence.
I'm an amateur meteorologist...and can stop rain. Just kidding.
Some of my favorite photographs have been made in less-than-perfect weather.
I'll always have a backup plan and will help you adapt your timeline if needed. Whether it's finding beautiful indoor light, embracing clear umbrellas, or waiting for a break in the weather, we'll create incredible images no matter what the forecast brings.
Yes!
Engagement sessions are one of the best ways for us to get to know each other before your wedding. You'll become more comfortable in front of the camera, learn what it feels like to work together, and walk away with beautiful images that celebrate this exciting season of your life.
By the time your wedding day arrives, you'll feel like we're old friends.
