Best Day Ever
There are so many sweet moments ahead of you- from finding the perfect venue, to saying "yes" to your dress, to asking your best friends to stand by your side. This is such a short, beautiful season, and it all leads to one of the most important days of your life, your wedding day.
While this season began with a proposal, your story began before he even started looking at rings, and it will continue after your wedding day. Your wedding day isn't the end of a season, it's the beginning of a life together. Imagine cuddling up together on your first anniversary, thumbing through your wedding album, remembering how he looked at you in that first moment together, and reliving it together because it's right there in front of you. Now imagine turning those same pages with weathered hands to show your grandchildren one day. Such a beautiful story deserves to be preserved for generations to come. Let me help you tell your story.
As someone who married her high school sweetheart, I believe your marriage is something beautiful, something to be cherished. Your wedding is more than just day or a party. It's the joining of families, the exchanging of vows, and the celebration of one of God's greatest gifts to us. I don't take my part in that lightly. I love being a witness to your story, and creating images that tell it in an authentic way. From your engagement session to the wedding day, I want to earn your friendship and trust, so that you can be completely comfortable in front of my camera. I am so excited to serve you and celebrate with you!

Welcome to the
Wedding Experience
The Photographer
I wanted to take a minute to share a little about myself because it is so important to me that we build a relationship. If you want to create relaxed, genuine images on your wedding day, you don't need just another vendor - you need a friend! Making new friends is my favorite part of this job!
I'm a Christ-following ministry wife and homeschooling mama of three little ones. We love hiking, playing outside, reading (they love Harry Potter but so far I'm the only Hufflepuff), and playing board games. I love baking, but I hate cleaning the kitchen. I love surrounding myself with heirloom photos and family treasures, and I want to help you fill your home with the same!
The Process
I love creating bright, vibrant, and timeless images of my couples, but more than that I love building friendships with my brides. The more comfortable you are with me, the more relaxed and confident you’ll be on camera on your wedding day. To kick that off, expect a gift from me after your contract is signed. I love giving gifts and that's a huge part of my bridal experience- but I don't want to give away all of the surprises!
Your complimentary engagement session is also a pivotal part of the process - on your wedding day, we'll already know which poses work best for you and your husband-to-be!

Consultation
I don't want you to hire someone you don't know! I know this is a big investment and a HUGE moment for you. We must be a great fit for you to have a great experience. The best way to ensure that happens is by having a quit chat over coffee or on the phone.
Let's Start
Planning
I'll send you a copy of my bridal planning magazine ASAP so we can start talking about your engagement session and planning for your big day! I'll help you choose your wardrobe for the engagement session and curate a timeline with you so your wedding day is smooth and stress-free!
Your Engagement Session
Your engagement session is one of my favorite aspects of the bridal experience. We'll take our time to get to know each other, practice the poses we'll use on your wedding day, and create some beautiful images to commemorate a sweet time in your life!
Your Wedding
Day
When I arrive, I'll give you a hug, introduce my assistant or second photographer, and get to work documenting all of the details of the day! I'll be there with you all day, making sure you're drinking water, and photographing all of the beautiful moments for you.
