The best day of your life
Photos are a gift. Something we may even take for granted. To be able to freeze a moment in time in the form of a photo is incredible! They are one thing you’re able to keep & cherish forever & ever! To look back on going down memory lane & reminiscing your wedding night. To be able to organize a scrapbook with to show your kids years down the road & then your kids will show their kids & tell them “That’s grandma & grandpa when they were younger.”
I want to freeze those candid moments. They ones you didn’t even know were occurring until you look back on them. Every tear, every hug, the hand holds, the goosebumps on your arms when you see your other half in their suit or dress for the first time, the pure love in your eyes. I want it all!
For most of us, you only get married once in a lifetime. To your soulmate. The one you’ll cherish until your skin wrinkles. You want those timeless photos of a lifetime! Picking a photographer is such an important decision, so I want to make sure we are best for each other!
I LOVE love & I want to be the one who is your personal paparazzi ALL day long! I absolutely love meeting new couples & learning their love stories. How you guys met, the story of the proposal, what your love is all about, ALL OF IT! I’m serious! As a little gift to each of my couples who let me tag along to capture your “I Do’s”, you get a complimentary engagement session! This allows you guys to get free photos done for your save the dates, invites, & just straight up decor for your homes! It also allows me to meet you guys & learn about you guys before your big day, so all n all, it’s a win win for all of us! :)
I offer 3 different set packages with all sorts of coverage, six, eight, & ten hours! I am free range to making up a package that suites your day just for you though! I will keep your wedding date on hold for 1 week to allow time because I know how wedding planning is & the last thing I want you to feel is rushed!
