WHAT & WHY
find your way around
I am so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your love story!
Welcome
meet your legacy photographer
I value real moments over posed perfection every time. During your session, I place an emphasis on natural interaction and moments of love, less “everyone smiling at the camera”.
That way, you will remember how it felt in the moment. Your one-of-a-kind collection of images will tell a story about you and those you love. They are perfect for filling your walls and covering your coffee table with albums of images that fill you with warm memories every time you look at them.
Inclusion is a core value of my business and approach as a photographer. My clients know that they will be safe and respected when working with me. All definitions of love, gender, and family are welcome in front of my camera.

Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming experience! There are so many decisions to make and vendors to secure to create your wedding day vision. I believe choosing a photographer is THE most important choice! After the day passes, your photographs will forever serve as a reminder of your love and your commitment to each other.
As your photographer, I want to make this one part of the planning process as seamless as possible, and if I dare say, fun! You deserve both beautiful images of your wedding day, AND an amazing experience, with a few sweet surprises along the way!
This guide introduces you to my photographic approach and shares information about your wedding day investment, to help you make the best choice for your wedding day. If there is any additional information I can share to help with your decision to become the next MJP Sweethearts, I'm here!

LOVE
love is
I support, respect, and value love in all its forms, and would love to tell your love story with beautiful, timeless images that will be a steady reminder of your love for each other. Achieving my Equally Wed Pro LGBTQ+ Inclusive Certification is part of my commitment to all couples, and especially members of the LGBTQ+ community, that I will treat you with respect, empathy, and be a champion for your love!
I practice inclusive photography, welcoming and respecting people of all of sexes, ages, races, ethnicities, origins, sexualities, gender identities, abilities, budget, and anything else that makes you unique & awesome.
I am committed to learning and growing to best serve and support my couples in all of life's most cherished moments.
I'm a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced, and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured. Not to mention, the best way to pass on these images to our future generations.
Think about this fact: twenty years ago, if I had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk or a CD at best! With the fast updates to technology, it would be challenging to access those images today.
One of the best ways to make your memories last is by investing an album. These heirloom quality, professionally designed albums are fully customizable to perfectly reflect your unique love story. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, use the highest quality archival materials, and lay perfectly flat. They look incredible displayed on your coffee table and flipped through at every opportunity!
After your gallery is delivered, I'll design a custom heirloom wedding album for you, and we'll revise it until it's just perfect!
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER this season
albums
heirloom
The Heirloom Bouquet is a modern and timeless way to preserve your
wedding bouquet or florals. I’ll create for you a custom-designed fine art piece using Heirloom Bouquet’s signature styling that you can display in your home and cherish for generations.
I am one of a handful of photographers who partners with The Heirloom Bouquet to provide this luxury service to my couples.
After your wedding reception, I'll take your bouquet (or other florals) home with me, and I will deconstruct and style your bouquet. The Heirloom Bouquet will add hand-drawn calligraphy to the image, and we'll print, mat, and frame the image to your specifications. You'll love displaying this gorgeous image with your wedding photos!

HEIRLOOM BOUQUET
Next question —
My style is a blend of photojournalism, to document the progression of your celebration, from big moments to little details, and classic portraiture that captures you as a couple. There are times when I will be discreet and capture things as they happen, and other times that I'll take charge to keep us on schedule (for example, during family portraits or wrangling your wedding party!). I always aim to document you and your loved ones in an authentic and fun way, so that your true selves shine through in every photograph.
What is your photography approach?
Next question —
It all boils down to my "why". I'm a wedding photographer because I truly love serving my couples. This means my goal is to ensure that you have the best possible experience from start to finish. Every element of my wedding package is thoughtful and carefully designed to care for you. That starts with a simple and straightforward package that includes all the essentials, with no hidden costs. You are welcome to customize this further with adding a la carte options, or if you are looking for a smaller celebration or multi-event weekend, I'll design something custom just for you.
Why do you offer just one package?
I do not provide an upper limit on the number of photos I provide, and galleries generally include include at least 75 images per hour of coverage. Your online gallery will feature fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your photos on social media!
How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?
Next question —
Your images are hand-edited by me, for a beautiful and cohesive look. Since I do not outsource to an editor, I am particularly sensitive to ensuring that your skin tones are natural and authentic.
Your images will be bright and true-to-color, representing how things actually looked. Your images will be calibrated to look beautiful in print and electronic formats, so you can share them with pride and fill your walls and albums with images you love.
How will you edit our images?
Next question —
Next question —
Within eight weeks of your wedding date, you'll receive a link to an online gallery that will allow you to download your high resolution images.
Your gallery will be set up so that you and your family and friends can download images and print them through my professional print shop. Or, if you prefer to print elsewhere, a print release is included.
When will we receive our photos?
Next question —
Fantastic! We'll schedule a Pre-Booking Consultation Call to make sure we're the perfect fit to work together! Afterward, I'll send you a Customized Booking Proposal that allows you to sign the session contract and submit your non-refundable payment of $2000. Your final payment will be due 30 days ahead of your wedding date.
We love your work and want to book. What's the next step?
