things I’d tell you as your wedding photographer… if I wasn’t trying to be polite about it:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ your timeline matters more than you think. rushing everything will show in your photos.
 + pinterest is inspiring, but your day shouldn’t feel like a copy of someone else’s.
 + the small, in-between moments? They’ll mean more than the “perfect” posed ones.
 + trust the people you’ve chosen, that’s when everything actually flows.
 + and the more present you are, the better your photos will feel… not just look.

which one do you agree with the most? 🫶🏼

i will always make time for both pre-wedding portraits and sunset portraits, and here’s why.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
pre-wedding is where everything settles. the nerves ease, the timeline hasn’t caught up with you yet, and you actually get a moment together before the day starts moving. it sets the tone for everything that comes after.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
sunset is the opposite. it’s when you’ve lived the day, you’re a little undone in the best way, and you can step away for five minutes and take it all in. the energy is softer, more real, and honestly… it shows.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
they give you two completely different feelings, and that’s what makes your gallery feel full, not just pretty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you want both, get in touch for 2027 weddings.

styled shoot images that make my heart sing…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
there’s something about them. so intentional, so stripped back, so focused on feeling over noise. every detail is chosen with purpose, which means I get to create in a way that’s a little more elevated, a little more editorial.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and for you as a bride? they’re not just “pretty shoots.” they’re where ideas are pushed, where trends are refined, where you can actually see what something could look like before bringing it into your own day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
think of them as inspiration, but with direction. not just saving images, but understanding how it all comes together.

may is your last window to lock in a senior session this season, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign to stop waiting and make it happen ✨
