photo + films
let's be real.
Choosing a photographer is hard.
That's why I'm here – to answer all your questions and guide you every step of the way. And if you already know exactly what you want, I'm happy to help you execute it! Don't see your question answered here? Feel free to send me a message.
ABOUT ME
Where are you based?
I am based out of Phoenix, AZ but regularly travel throughout the U.S. and have even ventured to the Dominican Republic to capture a wedding. Some of my favorite local venues include the Omni Montelucia, Mountain Shadows, and my favorite place ever - the PNW. Some of my dream destinations include Scotland and Alaska.
How experienced are you?
With over a decade behind a camera and 500+ weddings and counting, I have experienced and learned a lot as a wedding professional. This comes in handy when managing large bridal parties, picky family members, and working alongside fellow vendors. All that experience allows me to remain calm and in charge when things get hectic.
How would you describe your style?
My working style can be described as calm and collected while taking charge. I’ll tailor posing to you as a couple and prompt you to get those real, in-between moments. My editing style can be described as true to life. What you saw day of is what I aim to stay true to. Ultimately, I want you to look back in 30 years and relive your wedding day as it truly was.
What kind of equipment do you use?
While I am primarily a Canon girl, I do use a grab bag of gear. Right now, I love my Canon R6 ans 50mm, and my Sigma 35mm. I also have a Canon 16-35mm for real estate and a Tamron 70-200mm. I have been thrilled with my Godox flash system and Magmod accessories. For video, I typically use my Manfrotto monopod. What’s my favorite piece of gear? I would have to say it’s my Pelican and SKB cases for travel!
You seem to be really into relationships. Why is that?
I am naturally a people oriented person and my counseling degree bumped that up a bit. I truly believe the most important element between a client and their vendor is trust. Trust is built by relationship and that takes some time and effort, but in the end, it's well worth the hard work.
ABOUT MY SERVICES
Do you travel?
Yes! I have already had the honor to travel to the Dominican Republic, Washington DC, Oklahoma, and Washington state as well as all over the amazing state of Arizona. Travel fees vary for weddings and events more than 40 miles from Central Phoenix. I am a pro at traveling with my gear and getting to you with plenty of buffer time!
Can you do both photo and video?
I can! You can find lots of examples throughout my site and social media pages. Obviously I am limited by only having two hands so I have an amazing team of vendor friends who assist me during those times when you would like both services. I only work with people I love and trust so that you can love and trust them, too.
How long until we receive our photos/video?
I know it’s so exciting to share our lives right away! You will receive a mini sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of your wedding day. Final galleries and videos will be received within 8-12 weeks of your wedding, unless you have opted for a social media teaser (hint hint this is a great way to showcase your wedding right away!).
Can we use our own music for our video?
Long answer short, no. Due to copyright laws and removal from social media, I am bound to utilize licensed music that I pay for in every video. Every wedding is unique, so I select music to fit the feel of your day.
Do you do corporate shoots?
Yes! I offer both photo and video for small to big brands whether you need headshots for your whole team or coverage for a major charity event. Please inquire for customized pricing for your event.
