Your Adventure Sidekick
Do you want your wedding or elopement to be more intentional?
Every couple has different priorities for their wedding day, whether it’s focusing on intimate moments with loved ones, celebrating traditions, or capturing candid moments that tell your story. I will tailor my photography approach to fit your values and vision.
Adventurous, Authentic, Joyful
Imagine your love story unfolding in a breathtaking location, captured through a lens that seeks out authentic moments and focusing on:
1. Genuine Emotions: Capturing the spontaneous laughter, tender glances, and heartfelt embraces that make your connection unique. Each photo reflects the true essence of your relationship.
2. Natural Interactions: Rather than posed shots, you are encouraged to be yourselves. I will document those intimate moments—your shared laughter or a quiet conversation—allowing your love to shine through naturally.
3. Stunning Backdrops: From lush gardens to breathtaking landscapes, we utilize beautiful locations to enhance the romance of your photos. The scenery complements your love story, adding depth and magic to each image.
4. Storytelling Approach: The documentary style weaves together a narrative of your day, capturing everything from the little details to grand moments. Each photo becomes a piece of your story, creating a beautiful timeline of memories.
5. Timeless Aesthetic: With a focus on natural light and authentic settings, you can trust that your photos have a timeless quality, allowing you to relive the beauty and romance of your special day for years to come.
“Love is patient, love is kind.”
Why I would be honored to Photograph Your Wedding or Elopement
In 2021, I was photographing a larger wedding. The couple was stressed and wanted more time just for them. I tried my best to get them alone and capture their connection as a couple, their laughter, and holding one another.
When the thank you, letter came it said,
“Thank you so much for helping us on our wedding day! We had fun with photos, it was a nice peaceful getaway. We thought your work and your mission was inspiring. It was such a pleasure to have you and we would recommend you in a heartbeat!”
How heartwarming is that! My mission is to make sure you, my couple, have some time for just you two. Capturing your unique connection and all those emotions. Your special day is to celebrate your Love.
