PHILOSOPHY
02
From the behind-the-scenes moments before you walk down the aisle, to the vows and first dance, Since I photographed my first wedding in 2008, I’ve worked with over 200 couples to create art that tells their story.
The images we create are about emotion, connection, relationships, and people. They’re about time and place. And they’re about the love between the two of you, and the family and friends with whom you’ve chosen to share this day.
Together, we create a collection of images that tell your wedding story and reflect your natural, authentic selves.

This Stylebook was written to give a few tips to help plan for our session together, but it’s in no way a rule book. It’s just a few pointers to help guide you in the right direction to make sure you’re ready for the camera. When it gets right down to it, this is YOUR session. Make it personal, make it about you... ... and have fun - because you’re freaking in love!

Engagement sessions are about celebrating your love and life together. It’s a chance to capture moments that tell your story, embrace individuality, showcase creativity, and illustrate the love you share.

My sessions are laid back and stylish. The result is photos to share who you are with the ones you love. Aside from having photos of the two of you, this session is when we really get to know each other. Both you, me, and the camera.
When choosing locations, think about things that inspire you. Consider places that have might have sentimental meaning to you or anything that’s fun or different about your hobbies, careers, or passions you may want to incorporate. Make it personal. If you’re both coffee fanatics, think about including your favorite local cafe in your session. If your style is more modern and minimal,

ers who want to spend your session in the sun, in the grass, in flowing clothing, pack a picnic or grab some bikes and we’ll make it happen.
If you’re foodies, a colorful outdoor market or a picnic may be an option. If you’re both constantly found with your nose buried in books, a bookstore, library, or a study might be right for you. If you’re earth lov-
Our shoot doesn’t have to be deep and conceptual, but it helps if you love where we are.
And of you have a mood, concept, or a theme you want to incorporate, feel free to talk to me about what you have in mind and we can work together on executing your ideas.

REHEARSAL DINNERS
16
Your wedding celebration often starts before your wedding day. I photograph rehearsal dinners and pre-wedding events for about a quarter of the couples with whom I work. Rehearsal dinners are relaxed, fun, and a great way for us to work
together before your wedding day. Photography coverage at rehearsal dinners is largely documentary, but we often take time to do some casual portraits and relaxed family group photos. It’s also a great way for your family and friends to get comfortable
in front of the camera. When I arrive at a wedding after photographing a rehearsal dinner, I’m usually greeted by family and friends who are ready and happy to be photographed!.

ALBUMS
18
In an era of impermanence, photographs can too easily end up as files that fade into the digital ether. Your wedding album will become a family heirloom that tells your story to future generations.
I custom design each wedding album based on your wedding experience. Turn the page and your story unfolds. Full bleed spreads, simple designs, and matte fine art papers are modern classic and have “high
touch� appeal. These simple, timeless albums showcase your most cherished images and bring your photography experience to another level.
