Your wedding, elopement, or session isn’t just about the photos—it’s about how you feel in the moment. I believe in creating a space where you can be fully present, so your photos reflect real emotions, real connection, and your unique love story.
I take a candid, storytelling approach, meaning I won’t just pose you—I’ll guide you into natural moments that feel effortless. Whether it’s a quiet exchange of vows on a mountaintop, an intimate wedding surrounded by your closest people, or a playful couple’s session, my focus is on capturing the in-between moments—the laughter, the stolen glances, the way your love feels.

After your session, I carefully edit each image to enhance the natural beauty and emotion of the moment. You'll receive a sneak peek within 72 hours and your full, high-resolution gallery within 2-8 weeks, depending on your session type. From there, you can download, share, and print your images to relive these moments forever.
This is where the magic happens! Whether we’re capturing an intimate wedding, an adventurous elopement, or a fun couple’s session, my goal is to create a relaxed and fun experience. I’ll guide you with prompts and natural direction to make sure you feel comfortable and confident, so the moments we capture feel authentic and true to you.
Once you’re ready to book, reach out via my contact form, and let’s start planning! We’ll chat about your vision, location ideas, and any questions you may have. A signed contract and retainer secure your date on my calendar, and from there, I’ll send over all the details you need to prepare for your session.

Turnaround time varies depending on the type of session:
Couples, engagement, and family sessions: 4-6 weeks

I always send a sneak peek within 72 hours so you don’t have to wait too long to see some of your favorite moments!
I recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weddings and elopements, as my calendar fills up quickly! For weddings, booking 6-12 months in advance is ideal, while couples, family, and lifestyle sessions can usually be booked 1-3 months ahead depending on availability. If you're planning a last-minute session, feel free to reach out—I may still have an opening!
No, I do not provide RAW (unedited) files. My editing is a key part of my artistic style, ensuring that each image reflects my creative vision and the high-quality experience I promise. Your final gallery will include professionally edited, high-resolution images ready for print and sharing!
Weather can be unpredictable, but don’t worry—I always have a plan! If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can:
Reschedule for the next available date.
Embrace it—some of the most stunning, moody, and romantic photos happen in unexpected weather!
For elopements and weddings, I work with you to plan ahead, ensuring we make the most of the day no matter the conditions.
You’ll receive full printing and personal use rights to your images, meaning you can print, share, and enjoy them however you’d like! However, I retain copyright as the photographer, which allows me to use images for my portfolio, website, and marketing. If you prefer privacy, just let me know, and I’ll respect your request!
My photography is candid, emotive, and storytelling-driven. I specialize in capturing real, unscripted moments that reflect your connection, from the quiet glances to the belly laughs. My editing style is natural yet rich, enhancing true-to-life colors while keeping an organic, timeless feel. Whether you're eloping in the mountains or celebrating an intimate wedding, my goal is to create images that feel like you.
I’ve photographed weddings, elopements, and sessions in Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Washington, and beyond, and I’m always excited to travel!
