Capturing every imtimate moment and every spilled drink 🤪🥳

I always say I lift heavy so that I can do my job better!! 💪

Running around carrying a 70-80lbs of equipment, constantly holding a 7-10lbs camera up at shoulder height, and positioning myself in moments like these to get the perfect shot takes more strength and muscles than you’d imagine!

Being a wedding photographer is an incredibly active job if you didn’t realize 🤪 lucky for my clients, I’m a heavy hitter 😎

Shout out to my trainer and the coaches at and the programing there for making me better and stronger everyday

I wanted to say hi since there are so many new faces & followers on here recently!! 🥳

I’m Victoria, the wild child behind the camera! I love what I do more than anything and try to make your wedding photos stress free by helping you navigate everything from setting the timeline to organizing your massive wedding party & families, and of course telling you where to put your hands (don’t worry I know you’re gonna ask lol)!

A few random thoughts about me and my experience I deliver:

✨ the first call we have together is SO MUCH MORE than just an elevator pitch to book with me. I want to make sure the vibes are right for all of us! You spend 8+ hours with your photographer on your wedding day, you DEF don’t want someone you feel like you wouldn’t wanna hang at happy hour with. That’s why I spend time getting to know you guys and giving you all my juicy details so you can make sure we’re on the same wavelength 😎

✨ my FAVORITE parts of working your weddings are 1. Photographing your engagement session - it’s a 2 hour long hang sesh where I get to dig deep with y’all and become besties

and 2. - honestly it’s between capturing the first dances (such sweet tender moments) OR busting my bad dance moves on the dance floor with y’all and catching you and your new spouse tearing it up together 🤘🏼

✨I think if I couldn’t be a photographer I would love to be some kind of tour guide! I just LOVE curating a fun, easy, enjoyable experience for people! If that doesn’t tell you that you’re in good hands with me i don’t know what does lmao.

Anyyyyywayyyssss… that’s who I am and what I love about what I do 🥰

Let me know your favorite parts of a wedding in the comments!! Whether you have been to some or had your own I wanna know!!

The universe makes sense 🌌

I promise you it does even when you can’t see it

Everyone that comes into your life is meant to and everything that happens, happens for you.

I was in boxing the other day and the instructor kept saying - every punch has a purpose - and I got me thinking about how when we get knocked down we start doubting and questioning all sorts of things but that’s only because we can’t see the bigger picture yet

Every punch life throws you is to make you stronger

It forces you to fight 👊🏻

So if life threw a punch recently, get up and fight back!! You’re stronger than you think and you’re only getting stronger 😌

It’ll all make sense soon enough, promise 💕

The rain changed my plans… 🌧
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last weekend I hosted my sister and her fiancé‘s joint Bach parties 🎉🎉🎉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so much fun celebrating two people who truly deserve it the most and having weekend to let loose and enjoy good vibes and good people! ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My one main planned event for the weekend was canceled due to weather unfortunately 😭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was a bit disappointed we couldn’t do what I had originally planned but everyone was so easy going and had a positive attitude no matter what we did.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
so we pulled an audible and made a GIANT slip and slide in the front yard, played beer-lympics, grilled up a lot of food, and shared lots of laughs!! 🤣🤣 it was so much fun and what mattered is that we were all together celebrating!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It made me think of all the wedding days that had rain and we quickly had to come up with new photo locations or change plans and although things didn’t go as planned, in the end, it didn’t really matter! We still always get KILLER photos of our couples and they always had a big ole smile on their faces at the end of the day because they were just happy to be surrounded by their favorite people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know it’s inevitable to have expectations on how your day will go, but remember that if things don’t go exactly to plan, all that matters is that you’re with your people having a good time!! ❤️
