Imagine this, you’ve had the most electric day of your life. Fatty wap is finally on, the cake is cut which means all the older folks can respectfully leave without it being “too soon” and your bridesmaid just did her first of many splits for that night on the dance floor.

Then your photographer comes up to you to grab a hug and say “im headed out, it was such a beautiful day.”

YIKES.

That is how to not spend your wedding day.

Yet it was the norm I did for so many years before planning my own wedding day and realizing, I didn’t want 8 hours, I wanted the entire day.

Typically couples are planning their wedding for a year or more, taking on what feels like another full time job, and only get to enjoy it for one weekend and one weekend only. BUT, at least the photos live on forever right? Not if you’re photographers 8 hour package is up and it’s time to head out before the party even gets good!

Yes, you have the vows, the portraits, all the moments you want to bottle up forever. But the story isn’t fully told until the day is over.

Which is why I switched to only full coverage or full weekend coverage packages.

NOW, I am showing up for my clients in a way where no one’s watching the clock. I’m there for getting ready and opening your “letters to the bride” before your makeup starts, the first look where they started crying before you even tapped them and the moments you don’t even know are happening yet, like your friends losing it on the dance floor, that college bestie taking another tequila shot or your dad wiping a tear during the speech your sister spent hours writing.

You’re not buying hours anymore. You’re buying the whole story, told well.

If you want a photographer who’s with you for the whole thing, to tell the whole story, tap the link in my bio and let’s get your date on my calendar.

Welcome to engagement season baby 💍

If you don’t know engagement season is that time between mid nov - feb where your feed is flooded with shiny rings and someone down on one knee.

Its those times during the holidays when everyone is surrounded by family and the sentimental ones who want family to be included, pop the question. Which for some reason feels early this year.

If I could give you one piece of advice this holiday season it’s this. BOOK THE VENDORS YOU CARE ABOUT THE MOST FIRST.

The type a couples are already on it, booking calls for fall 2027 and 2028 to lock in their dates with the vendors they want the most. Because even if your photographer has your date open, it doesn’t always mean its available.

I only take on 12 weddings a year to ensure I am serving my couples correctly, meeting deliverables and being personable enough to remember their story, family names & what they actually wanted for their wedding day.

If the stress of holidays, gift giving AND booking your vendors all at once is stressing you let this be your sign to stay tuned next week to see what i can help do about it 🤭

& it’s my goal to showcase both experiences in your gallery

11/06/2026

I was on a consult call last night when the mention of being awkward in front of a camera came up.

Which always makes me smile because it’s almost become a game to me at this point. To take the couple who thinks their awkward, give them guidance and cues that actually make them want to take photos and somehow the most natural smiles and images get pieced together.

Little by little their shoulders release, and the smile no longer feels forced. Their hands start to naturally gravitate to how they interact and without forgetting the camera is there, they just fall into the next pose.

You’re not awkward in front of a camera, you’ve just never had the right person tell you how to move.

It’s the moments before coverage starts that can make or break your wedding images.

There is wedding stress, and then there is destination wedding stress. Your watching your friends plan local weddings, getting to do walkthroughs and visually see where tables, alters or bars will go. Meanwhile you’re looking at the floor plan sketch of your venue for the 5th time that week trying to create a visual in your head of how the heck will this turn out.

Not only are you planning from afar, coordinating with vendors and your planning team only over phone calls but there is also the stress of travel logistics. Will my vendors arrive prepped and on time?

Which is why for destination weddings I require my couples to fly me in 2 days prior to the wedding day.

This time allows me time to settle in, get use to the time change, walk the property or visit the venue to get my footing on where portraits will be as well as figure out what the elements like sun & wind are like. Plus, put my couples at ease. Knowing I am in town, and on property helps alleviate that anxiety of travel logistics and making sure your vendor team makes it in a timely and safe manor.

Before I even board my plane my memory cards are formatted, timeline is screenshotted and made the background of my phone for easy access & the shot list has been put into a checklist ready to go at any time. Batteries are charged and aren’t relying on my converted to be able to handle the strength I need it to perform at.

HOT TAKE: “candid” wedding photos don’t require you to become besties with your photographer. You just need a photographer who knows how to make you feel comfortable, when to step in and when to back off.

My color loving bride who is also a wedding photographer when she isn’t busy getting married herself.

I already knew I was going to be in love with this day, the colorful details and intentionality Ali & Seth spent planning. The small details from the curation wedding monogram, to the oyster to represent our home of the eastern shore. Even the florals that pulled the lavender into a fall color palette.
