This is more than capturing pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the essence of your story. The quiet glances when no one’s watching, the way your fingers intertwine without thinking, the wild laughter, the tears you didn’t expect, and the fleeting moments that become the ones you’ll treasure most. I’m here to capture it all. The magic, the messy, the meaningful- exactly as it unfolds.
Whether you're envisioning an intimate micro wedding under open skies or a grand celebration surrounded by everyone you love, my role goes far beyond the lens. I’m with you every step of the way- guiding, supporting, and ensuring your day feels effortless, intentional, and authentically you.
Let’s create more than photographs- let’s create art that pulls you back into the feeling of your day. The kind of images that make your heart race years from now, reminding you not just how it looked, but exactly how it felt to live in that moment.
I’m truly honored to be considered for this chapter of your love story.

I understand that finding the right package can be overwhelming with so many options available. To help you find the package that fits you best, ask yourself some of these questions below.
When the vows have been exchanged, the glasses are raised, and your feet are sore from dancing the night away - all you’ll want is to hold onto every moment from the best day of your life. That’s where I come in.
Your wedding deserves more than just someone showing up with a camera. It deserves intentional storytelling, an experience that feels effortless, and photos that let you relive exactly how it all felt. My wedding collections are designed with that in mind - tailored to fit your day, your story, and what matters most to you. And if you need something a little different? We’ll customize it together.
I only take on a limited number of weddings each year because I believe every couple deserves my full attention and heart in this process. I’m all in - from the moment you book to the final gallery delivery. And trust me, what we create together will be more than you ever imagined.
For hair and makeup, aim for a polished version of your natural look—something that feels like you, just a little elevated. Soft, glowy makeup photographs beautifully, and a bit of extra definition on the eyes and lips goes a long way on camera. For hair, loose waves, a simple braid, or a relaxed updo always complement that effortless, romantic vibe. Avoid heavy powders or dramatic changes to your usual style. The goal is to feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self—because when you feel good, it shows in every photo!
Stick to neutral, earthy tones and soft textures that feel timeless and natural-think creams, tans, rust, olive, or dark soft blues. Coordinate without matching, choose outfits you feel comfortable and confident in, and add simple layers or accessories for personality. Avoid bright colors, logos, or anything too busy. Most importantly, wear something that feels like you—when you're comfortable, the genuine moments shine through. If you're unsure, bring options and I’m always happy to help style you!
The best time for your engagement photos is during golden hour—that dreamy light just after sunrise or before sunset that gives everything a soft, romantic glow. I’ll help you choose the perfect time based on the season and location. Speaking of locations, think about spots that feel meaningful or match your vibe—whether it’s desert views, forest trails, a cozy studio, or an open field. I’ve got a list of favorite places and hidden gems, so if you’re unsure, I’ll guide you to a spot that fits your story and complements your style perfectly!
When should we book?
Most couples book 9-12 months out, but if your date’s open then I’m in!
When do we get our photos?
Sneak peeks within 1.5 weeks, full gallery in 12 weeks.
Do you travel?
Yes! Travel across Arizona is included in select collections. I’m always up for destination weddings- just ask!
Can we customize a package?
Absolutely. Let’s make it fit your day perfectly.
Thank you for thinking of me and my team to capture your special day! If you need to contact me at any point during the planning process, feel free to shoot me an email!
NEXT STEPS are simple. After you let me know you would like to move forward, I begin to set you up with booking and a client portal that helps us stay organized until your day finally arrives. It will include an online contract, questionnaire, access to your invoice, and more.
Many of my couples love to schedule a meeting by phone or in-person for the opportunity to meet, ask questions, and tell me all about your wedding details so far!
