the WEDDING experience
IMAGES AS REMARKABLE AS YOU
There will never be another you, or another love story just like yours.
My images are for individuals who are unapologetically themselves.
People who know life is short, so eat the cake, find the adventure, and always choose kindness and love.
Whether that love is quiet, or crazy, or feels like a warm summer day, I’ll capture that feeling in my magic little box so it’s remembered forever.
STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
THIS ISN’T TRANSACTIONAL
I want to get to know you more than “the wedding couple on September 3rd”. It’s not transactional. While this may be my job, I will care about you as people outside of your wedding day. I’ll send you funny gifs (sorry, not sorry I AM a millennial) and hopefully get to know you pretty well. I promise, it will help your photos ROCK.
WEDDINGS
Coverage starting at $4750
I book a very limited number of weddings each year to give my clients a tailored experience. We will go over what your day looks like and figure out the best solution when it comes to length of coverage, custom goods, or anything else you may need/not need. Engagement sessions and digital images are included in every wedding experience.

Not professional models.
You might feel differently afterwards though.
Everyone thinks they are awkward in front of the camera, and I don’t expect you to be ready to walk a runway.
I genuinely believe that authentic emotion and good light trump an epic location. If you’re willing to be yourselves with me, we’ll get the good stuff.
Frequently asked Questions
We will start with a consultation, which is really just a fancy word for meeting and getting to know each other. As much as you are choosing to work with me, I also want to feel comfortable with you. Just like your relationship, matching personalities is important for the best photos. If you don’t feel comfortable around your photographer, it will show in your images.
After we have a chat, which often I like to meet for coffee/tea or ice cream and just talk about the two of you. How you met, what you like to do, what you’re envisioning for your wedding – if we all get good vibes I will send over a proposal and contract electronically.
A non-refundable retainer is paid to hold your date and then we will get to work scheduling an engagement session!
Every wedding comes with high-resolution digital images and a print release. You can print them for your home, share them with friends, order albums or canvases from wherever you choose. Both of my wedding collections come with a luxury album and design service because I believe photos shouldn’t live only on screens.
I never guarantee any set number of images. When I’m shooting, I’m focused on catching happy moments and I don’t want to be worrying about if I’m shooting enough, just to hit a certain number. I’m not there to capture EVERY moment, but the best, important and special ones. I am happy to share full galleries of weddings so you can be sure that everything will be captured and what a full day looks like delivered.
Albums and prints are the best way to experience your day in the future. I don’t require you to buy them from me, but albums are a big part of my collections. They are your first family heirloom and I want to make sure we do that right with something that is gorgeous but will LAST the test of time.
Plus, me! I don’t farm out weddings and I’ll be the one photographing your day. If you add on a second photographer, I work with other wedding photographers who are fully awesome. No bad vibes.
Engagement sessions are a must. Even if you don’t think you need one, or you’ve already had one. It is so so important that we work together prior to your wedding day. Engagement sessions allow us many things:
- We get to know each other better. Your photos will 1000000% (yes, one million) better when your photographer doesn’t feel like a stranger. You will feel much more comfortable to be yourself during private or special moments when your photographer feels like a friend.
- You get to see how I work, and see yourself in a finished product. Even if you’ve been photographed together, every photographer works slightly differently. Maybe you love my images in my portfolio but it’s can be different seeing yourself in them. It’s a small check to make sure you will be happy with the final product. If for some reason you get your images back and think, nope this isn’t actually what I want. We can still fix it, and find you a photographer better suited for your needs. That’s never my goal (and never happened yet) but I like us both to have that assurance. Your wedding day cannot be replicated. Also, once you have worked with me, you will know what portraits will be like on your wedding day. It will be more natural and feel easier (and probably a little quicker) which will result in better photos.
- Thirdly, engagement sessions are fun! They let you get dressed up and have you celebrate the fun side of your love story. Wedding days can often feel rushed and an engagement session allows you to have a few photos of the two of you in that wonderful exciting time of your relationship in a relaxed and celebratory environment.
Yes and no. As much as I love travelling and experiencing new places, I also love coming home at the end of the night to my own family. Travelling with tons of gear, and getting work visas for working abroad is really my idea of a good time. There’s always exceptions though, so it never hurts to ask. Within Connecticut and the greater New England area, the answer is usually yes! I don’t generally charge travel fees, however depending on your location and the hours, I may require a hotel stay to make sure I arrive there on time or get home safely.
That’s a great question. I won’t be the right photographer for everyone. I think it’s really important to find a great match with the person documenting your day. There are so many styles of photography and approaches to the wedding world that you want someone there who understands what YOU want and their vision aligns with that.
So, why me? I take my job seriously enough to know that it’s an honor and privilege, but not so seriously that I think the day is about me or my “vision” – it’s not. My job is to see your day through the eyes of your family and friends. For your children and grandchildren in the future. For your friend who had to miss the wedding because they were sick. For you, in 2 weeks or 2 years, or 2 decades to look back and remember exactly how it FELT when you were walking back down the aisle or dancing with your mom or dad.
After photographing hundreds of weddings over more than a decade, I have learned tons. Wedding photography, while fun and amazing, is also stressful. Currently, I only take on about five wedding couples each season to make sure that you and your day feels like a priority. So you can have a fantastic experience with me from day one to day done. When I show up to your engagement session or wedding, you know who is walking in the door. I know your story, and we don’t feel like strangers.
If you want someone who will make the day feel easier because there is trust in being authentically yourself. I’m your gal. If you want someone who is going to feel all the emotions of the day just as deeply, I’m your gal. If you want someone who will treat our working relationship as more than dollar signs, I’m your gal. If you want all that plus some bomb ass photos where you two look super hot.. I’m your gal.
