Wedding Guide
Congratulations! You Did It! You made an exciting new step in your lives! The next few months you will be making different decisions and plans to create an excellent ceremony celebration of your love for each other! One of those very important decisions is, “Who do I get to photograph our special day?” Well, allow us to introduce ourselves…
About the Owner/Chief Photographer For 20 years I have had the pleasure of capturing so many couples expressing their love, and celebrating their new life together with family and friends! I was blessed to discover my dream and my talent at a young age. I have worked on locations and photographed people and things I could have never have dreamed of as a child. I love what I do and could not imagine doing any other profession that gives me the joy that being a photographer does. When you work with me, you are working with someone that has your best interest at heart. I will work diligently to bring your dream to reality. I will provide swift, professional service and always treat you in a courteous and professional manner. Your needs for your portraits, your wedding or your special event are as important to me as if it were my own, and I will not rest until you are happy. It would be my honor to serve you.”

Things That We Have Mastered!
1. We Capture the Details!
From getting ready to the smallest flower, we work hard to capture as much detail about your special day as possible. We don’t want you to miss a thing once everything calms down.
2. We Keep The Peace! We know the stress that can come from planning the celebration. We strive not only to help make the planning an easier process, from helping plan the timeline, to giving a shot list, and giving helpful suggestions if you need it, but we also speak and exude positive energy and check on you to make sure you as a couple are ok. A wedding is a one-day event to tell God and a bunch of well meaning, but semi-crazy friends and family what you two promised each other.
3. We Don’t Over Pose You or Push Pinterest Poses On You! Going viral is not as important as creating memories that you will cherish. We will be as creative as possible in the time we are given with you, and we will capture everything as epic as possible. However, we will not push impossible poses or try to copy a pose online exactly. We want to create something unique for you and you alone. That’s our mission and our purpose=
Choosing a Wedding Photographer! When you are choosing your photographer for your wedding, make sure they have THREE significant things:
1. Your Photographer wants to tell your story
Your photographer has to want to know your love story as well as their own. Knowing your story helps your photographer not only create a memorable engagement session for you, but also know what to capture on your special day and give it that extra personal touch.
2. Your Photographer knows & respect your vision /dream
You and your photographer have great communication & understanding of your ideas that you want. Your photographer will be able to capture your wedding the way you want it & create the poses that you had in mind if not better ones. Your photographer must also have the relationship with you that they can tell you if something you envisioned cannot be done exactly how you see it, but will work with you to create something similar if not better. Your photographer respects you too much to give you less than you deserve.
3. Your Photographer is a Seasoned Professional
It is very crucial that your photographer has experience in wedding photographer and shooting in any and all lighting situations. You trust your photographer to be courteous, professional, timely and skilled in their craft. If you wanted just photos, you would ask your “family photographer” to do your wedding & not a professional.
With All That Said, If We Meet That Criteria For You, It Would Be Our Honor To Be Your Photographer For Your Special Day and Beyond!
