WEDDINGS + ELOPEMENTS
INVEST IN YOUR LEGACY
Your wedding day is more than just a collection of beautiful photos—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that deserves to be effortless, joyful, and filled with real, genuine moments. That’s why I do more than just show up with a camera—I’m here to guide you, support you, and make sure you actually enjoy every moment of your day.
From the first inquiry to the final gallery delivery, my goal is to create a stress-free and fun experience that feels natural and true to you. I take the time to get to know you as a couple—what makes you laugh, what moments matter most, and how I can best serve you. Whether it's helping you with your timeline, finding dreamy photo locations, or hyping you up when you need it most, I’m here to ensure everything feels effortless.
On your wedding day, I want you to be fully present—not worrying about stiff poses or forced smiles. My approach is natural, romantic, and playful, so your photos reflect the real love and joy you feel. Whether you’re saying “I do” in the heart of Cincinnati or on a mountaintop across the country, I’ll be by your side capturing the moments that matter most.
This is your story, your love, and your day—let’s make it unforgettable.
Desire imagery that feels unique to their love story and are open to exploring how that comes to life.
Understanding that their wedding day is not just about the photos, but all the layers that make their day unique and the unfolding of a beautiful covenant.
Care about human connection and spending the most meaningful moments with their people.
Are open to embracing the imperfections and desire to live in-the-moment.
HOW IT WORKS:
step 01
INITIAL CONSULT CALL
We’ll kick things off with a quick 15-minute consultation. This is for the sole purpose of connecting faces and names. A phone call allows for familiarity and comfort, and helps me get an even better feel for your vision. I can’t wait for this exciting first step!
step 02
LOCKING THINGS IN
Now we make ourselves official, official. You’ll be sent a contract to sign, plus an invoice to make your first deposit. Once both are completed, I’m all yours.
step 03
ENGAGEMENTS
Engagement sessions are designed to celebrate the two of you as a couple! It’s a chance to get some gorgeous updated photos of yourselves when you’re most in love, and to get the ball rolling on the anticipation and excitement leading up to your wedding day.
step 04
WELCOME GIFT
Just a little something to say Thank You as we begin our journey working together. Gifts are my love language, and I love spoiling my couples! Nothin’ like a few goodies to celebrate your love story.
step 05
TIMELINE QUESTIONNAIRE
As your special day approaches, I will send you a form to fill out which helps me create a rough draft of your photography timeline. We’ll hop on the phone and go over all the specifics to make sure everything is running on schedule and all the final details are ready to go.
step 06
YOUR SPECIAL DAY
It’s time! Your day will be here before you know it. All you need to do is relax and have an amazing time while I capture it all from start-to-finish.
step 07
24 HOUR SNEAK PEEKS
24 hours after your big day, I’ll send you a gallery of preview photos so you can get a sense of how everything is coming along. These are yours to share and post in excitement!
step 08
DELIVERY DAY
Your complete gallery of wedding photos arrives. These timeless, beautiful images are finally yours to treasure forever. Expect your full gallery within 6-8 weeks from your big day.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?
For a typical wedding gallery, you can expect an average of 600-700 photos, while a typical elopement day will result in 200-300. Nevertheless, this number will vary since each wedding day is different and has unique needs.
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
The turnaround time for your completed, polished photo gallery is normally 6-8 weeks. I value quality above all else, so I make sure to take my time perfecting every gallery before sending it out. Please keep in mind that sometimes creating photos that meet these standards means that they’ll exceed the 6-8-week turnaround time.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
I’m based in Cincinnati Ohio, but I’d be more than happy to travel to any location you need me to. In other words, based wherever you need me most.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PREFERRED VENDORS?
Yes! I know some truly amazing vendors whom I admire and trust. If you need any recommendations, just let me know, and I can give you the names of some truly excellent people.
DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS?
I offer an easy-to-use payment system. After paying a $1500 retainer to secure your date, the other payments can be made anytime up to 60 days before your wedding date. Just simply pay with your credit card.
CAN WE PRINT OUR PHOTOS?
You sure can! My gallery platform makes it easy to print out any photos you desire for a discounted price.
