Your photos will be edited in a true-to-color fashion, with a hint of contrast & boldness. I am dedicated to editing your photos with a timeless elegance, ensuring that decades from now, when you revisit these cherished memories, they will still evoke a sense of wonder and joy.
Throughout your session, I'll seamlessly blend timeless candid shots of film with the elegant precision of digital photography. Offering a fun, classic, and nostalgic aspect to your wedding experience.
I have always deeply felt connected to black and white wedding pictures. As they say "When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls". So I edit every picture in color and B&W.
On our Google Doc I'll have a template that we'll build off of to create your family picture list for efficient family photos ensuring no one is left out.
I guide and pose when necessary but prefer to step back, allowing me to authentically capture the candid moments of your day.
As much as I am passionate about capturing moments and memories, I'm always paying attention to technical details of each image. Ensuring all of my images are level, images are in focus, I always have a backup camera with me, and I safe-keep your images in multiple locations.
a peek into the galleries
Grab your favorite snacks and get cozy. I always recommend a date night to sit down and view your wedding gallery together and reminisce. (Warning: crying, laughing, and everything in between may occur)
08. Gallery Incoming!
We design your timeline based off of your needs, not mine. We'll hop on a call two months before your wedding to design your day with flexibility and capture the moments most important to you.
05. Build your timeline
Slow down, take a deep breath, and just enjoy your day. Let me capture the raw emotions and natural beauty of your day, while effortlessly highlighting your unique connection and helping you both shine.
06. The wedding
An engagement photoshoot is a chance to capture the excitement, joy, and celebrate the exciting time of being engaged. It's also your time to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.
04. Engagement session
Right after you book I'll be sending you my client guide! This will help me guide you through every step of your wedding planning journey. From searching for the perfect shooting spots near or at your venue to crafting a seamless timeline, I'll be by your side every step of the way.
03. plan the details
To officially secure your wedding date with me, you will need to sign a contract, which protects both of us. Then, make a $1,000 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot on my calendar. We can split up the remaining balance into manageable installments.
02. Secure your date
We'll have a free consultation meeting to get a sneak peek into our working dynamic and so you can get to know me personally. Lets dive into your wedding dreams and discuss how we can bring your vision to life!
01. Let's Connect
I know you are going to be itching to see some of the images from your day! I'll be sending you sneak peek images within 48 hours so you'll be able to share your day with everyone who couldn't make it.

* option to add a second photographer or engagement session for $600 *
I'm based in Minnesota! Travel within Minnesota is included. I absolutely love traveling out of state to capture love stories, typical travel fees range from $500 - $1,500 on top of the packages above. Take a look at my travel schedule and bucket list for my waived/discounted travel fees!
Opting for a 12-hour package offers the luxury of time and the breadth of coverage. It’s a choice that allows for unexpected shifts in the schedule, ensuring a relaxed and unhurried approach to capturing each moment. With the inclusion of two photographers, the breadth of candid moments, intricate details, and varied perspectives is expanded, resulting in a gallery that is as comprehensive as it is evocative.
With 10 hours of coverage, there’s an opportunity to dive deeper into the wedding’s narrative. It ensures detailed coverage of both partners' preparations and extends into the liveliness of the reception. An optional second photographer can be included to broaden the perspective, capturing a diverse range of moments and angles that add depth and variety to the final gallery, making it a reflective portrayal of the event’s richness.
An 8-hour package is concise yet comprehensive, ideally suited for events at a single or nearby locations. It provides a snapshot of the day’s pivotal moments, capturing the bride’s preparation, the ceremony’s emotion, and the initial energy of the reception, including speeches and the beginning of the dance celebrations. It’s a focused approach, ensuring the key elements of your day are beautifully encapsulated.
It can be hard to know how many hours of coverage you need especially so early in the planning process. So below I've broken down typical structures of wedding days and what it would look and feel like for the various hours of coverage. If you would like more advice, inquire with me and we can start building you a timeline!

I have a longer, more structured list we will refine on your Google Doc.
Throughout the day I'll be keeping my eyes open to get truly candid & heartfelt moments, take some film pictures, and pull you both aside if something catches my eye to get those magazine-worthy pictures perfect for hanging in your bedroom.
If none of the packages isn't exactly what you're looking for or you want to change or modify one of them to suit your wedding day better, we will be able to walk through options on your consultation call! Inquire to set that up!
I primarily use two Canon R5 cameras as they are fantastic medium format cameras that produces some of the highest resolution images in all lighting conditions. I also have a backup camera in case of emergency. The lenses I use include a 16mm, 50mm, 24-70mm, & 100-400mm. These ranges all accomodate short distances, long distances, large groups, portraits, etc!
Of course! Feel free to send the gallery to family/friends/ guests. When I deliver your gallery, I provide you with a gallery owner access link along with a private family & friends link. They also have the ability to order prints through the print store that's connected to the gallery!
I love adding a unique touch to your wedding photography by bringing a roll or two of film with me! After finding my parents' old film camera, I have embraced this traditional medium to capture candid, in-the-moment moments of your big day. This adds an element of excitement as you never know how the pictures will turn out - adding to the nostalgic charm of film photos. I seriously could go on and on about why I love this format of photography so I highly recommend checking out my blog post below!
I've always been a firm believer in the magic of sharing sneak peeks just a few days after your wedding. There's something incredibly special about that time when the memories are still vivid, the joy is palpable, and the love is at its peak. It's not just about reliving those precious moments, but also about extending that joy to others, especially those who couldn't be there on your big day. Sending out a few select photos captures that post-wedding bliss and excitement, allowing you to share a piece of your happiness with the world.
Engagement sessions are essential to start our journey of capturing your love story. These sessions, framed in a more relaxed and intimate environment, foster a deeper connection between you and me as your photographer. Spill all the deets about your funny stories and adventures together! The more I get to know you, the better I can capture images that truly reflect who you are together.
Worried about what to do in front of a camera? That's totally normal and don't worry - I have fun prompts to go through and a speaker I bring with to play some jams. These sessions are super helpful to become comfortable with a big 'ol camera lens pointing at you before your big wedding day.
Please reach out to inquire about my current availability! I'm accepting bookings for 2024 & 2025 weddings though it's never too soon to start planning ♥
