My Approach

Your Wedding Story

I don't do rigid shot lists or stiff poses. I shoot in a journalistic, documentary style because the best photos happen when you forget the camera is there — when you're laughing with your bridesmaids, tearing up during the vows, or stealing a quiet moment together between the ceremony and the reception.

My job is to be present without being intrusive, to anticipate the moments before they happen, and to deliver images that feel exactly like your day felt — alive, emotional, and completely yours.

I want you to look at your wedding photos in twenty years and feel every emotion all over again.

What Sets This Apart

Before your wedding day, we work together.

We'll plan out several days to meet months before your wedding day to align on details that will make your shoot go flawlessly. Here's what you actually get when you book with me.

A Real Consultation

Before anything else, we sit down and talk — your vision, your style, the moments that matter most to you, the family dynamics, the timeline. I need to understand your day to capture it properly.

Thorough Pre-Planning

I walk your timeline, scout lighting at your venue, coordinate with your planner and other vendors, and build a shot framework so no moment gets missed. You won't have to give a thought to photography logistics on your wedding day.

A Calm, Steady Presence

On your wedding day, my goal is to blend into the background. I'm there to capture, not to direct your experience or interrupt your ceremony.

Fast, Professional Delivery

You'll receive sneak-peek images within days. And your full gallery — professionally edited, color-corrected, and curated — is delivered on a clear, reliable timeline we agree on together.

Images That Tell the Whole Story

Along with the big moments, I'll capture the ring on the windowsill. Your loved one's hand on your shoulder. The maid of honor's laugh during the toast. The details that most people miss but you'll want to remember forever.

Full Usage Rights

Every image is yours to print, share, and use however you want. No watermarks on your final gallery, no hidden fees for high-resolution files. Your memories belong to you.

How It Works

Simple, transparent, no surprises.

I keep the booking process straightforward because you have enough to plan already.

Reach Out

Send me a message with your wedding date, venue (if you've chosen one), and anything else you'd like me to know. I'll respond within 24 hours to confirm availability.

Free Consultation

We'll hop on a call or meet in person. This is where I learn about your day — your vision, your style, the vibe you're going for. It's also where you decide if I'm the right fit. No pressure, no pitch.

Book & Plan

Once you're in, we lock your date with a signed contract and retainer. From there, I start pre-planning — timeline review, venue walkthrough, vendor coordination — so everything is dialed in well before the day.

Your Wedding Day

I show up early, stay late, and capture everything in between. You and your partner focus on being present with the people you love. I handle the rest.

Delivery

Sneak peeks within the first week. Your full, professionally edited gallery delivered on the timeline we agreed on. Every image in high resolution, ready to print, share, and treasure.

Common Questions

Things couples ask before booking.

How far in advance should I book?

Peak season dates (May–October) tend to book 6–12 months out. If your date is flexible, I can often accommodate shorter timelines. Either way, reach out early — I only take a limited number of weddings per season to ensure every couple gets my full attention.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. I'm based in Indianapolis but available throughout Indiana and beyond. Travel fees may apply depending on distance — we'll discuss that during your consultation so there are no surprises.

Can I customize a package?

Absolutely. The packages listed are starting points. If you need more hours, a second shooter, additional video coverage, or something else entirely, I'll build a collection that fits your day and your budget.

Do you shoot video too?

Yes — I offer both photography and videography. The Full Story collection includes a 3–5 minute highlight film of your day. Video can also be added to any other package as an add-on.

How many photos will I receive?

It depends on the length of coverage, but most couples receive 400–800+ professionally edited images. I deliver every strong image — I don't hold anything back or charge extra for more files.

What happens if it rains?

Rain makes for incredible photos. I've shot in every condition, and I always scout backup locations during my venue walkthrough. Your day will be beautiful regardless of the weather — and I'll make sure the images prove it.
