Experience
How it works
1. Connect & Discover
Every beautiful story begins with connection! Once you reach out, we'll get to know one another, chat about your vision, and see if we're the right fit. I want you to feel seen, heard, and genuinely excited about the experience ahead!
2. Plan & Prepare
This is where the little details come together! We'll walk through your vision, create a thoughtful photography timeline, and make sure there's room for both the meaningful moments and the unexpected ones. My heart is for you to feel confident, cared for, and fully present when the day arrives.
3. Capture & Deliver
When the day comes, your only job is to soak it all in! I'll be there to gently guide when needed and quietly document the moments as they naturally unfold. Afterward, you'll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery filled with honest, timeless photographs that allow you to relive it all for years to come.
From planning to memories, every step with intention
From our first conversation to the delivery of your gallery, my heart is to serve you with intention and care. I want you to feel comfortable, fully present, and confident that the meaningful moments of your story are being thoughtfully preserved.
FAQ
How far in advance should we book?
I recommend reaching out as soon as you have your date and venue secured! Wedding dates often book 9–12 months in advance, but I always encourage you to inquire, even if your celebration is right around the corner. I'd love to hear what you're dreaming up!
We're a little camera-shy. Will you help us feel comfortable?
Absolutely!! Most of my couples tell me they're nervous about being in front of the camera, and that's completely normal. My approach is a blend of gentle direction and documentary storytelling. I'll guide you when needed while leaving plenty of room for the genuine, unscripted moments that make your story yours.
Do you travel for weddings and sessions?
Yes, and I absolutely love it! I'm based in Richmond, Virginia, but I'm always happy to travel wherever your story takes me. Whether you're celebrating close to home or somewhere entirely new, I'd be honored to come along. Travel fees apply depending on the location.
What can we expect after booking?
Once your contract is signed and your 20% retainer is paid, your date is officially reserved! From there, we'll stay connected throughout the planning process. About a month before your wedding, we'll walk through your timeline, priorities, and all the meaningful details so you can head into your day feeling prepared and cared for.
When will we receive our photos?
I know how exciting it is to relive all those sweet moments! For portrait sessions, you can expect your gallery within 7–14 days, while wedding and elopement galleries are delivered within 3–8 weeks. Each image is thoughtfully selected and edited with care before being delivered through a private online gallery, where you can easily download, save, and share your memories with loved ones!
