Frequently Asked Questions

What is it like to work with you on a wedding day?

I am there to help capture your day while also doing my part to keep us on time, according to the timeline, maintaining communication, and creating a stree-free environment. Sometimes it is helping the groomsmen put on boutonnieres, helping organize a last-minute special first look with a military cousin who is surprising you at your wedding, or grabbing those extra shots of the bride dancing with grandma (who they didn't think would be there).
What can we expect from our experience with you?

I strive to provide clear, fast communication; easy-going and fun directions for posing; and quick delivery of final edited images.
What is the benefit of booking with you for both photo & video?

First, you get an experienced team who know how to do both photo and video. A team who sometimes know what each other is thinking without having to say a word. Second, booking both services double the coverage you will receive while also providing different mediums. Video goes beyond photo to combine movement and audio into what otherwise would be a photo. The best parts for video are: first look (if you do one), the ceremony, and toasts. There are also little moments that can be added into your video like letter reading, gifts, sunset, drone, etc.
Do you do drone work?

As of September 2021, I am adding drone to my offerings. I have completed the FAA certification and look forward to creating special shots using my Mavic Air 2.
What education have you invested in to hone your craft?

When I decided to upgrade cameras, I started with a class specifically on the ins and outs of that camera. Then I expanded into posing and lighting classes by Amy and Jordan Demos and Katelyn James. I've also taken classes relating to family photography, boudoir, and running a business. Currently, I am studying videography and drone as well.
How would you describe your editing style?

My editing style is vivid, true to color. I love nature colors so I don't want to mute or distort the true to life color that was there that day. Yes, I do turn a few edits into black and white for a classic, timeless look.
Do you travel?

Absolutely! I love to travel.
