Who I Am Not....
I am not a photographer who needs pristine weather, a cliff and subjects with perfect hair and makeup. You won't find me posting a daily selfie (or even a monthly one) to try and win you over with my bubbly personality. I promise you I likely hate being in front of the camera as much as you do.
I will not make you look like a snapchat filter in your senior photos or headshots (seriously, when will that trend die?!).
I cannot promise you the perfect, flawless wedding day. Part of the reason I love weddings is because they are full of the unpredictable. They inevitably end up being full of humor, truth, and a touch of chaos. And they are always more awesome because of those imperfections.
Your moments are bigger than me.
These stories are yours, not mine.
Your photos will remind you of what’s truly important about life for years to come.
I will help create a safe space for you to showcase and celebrate your love, regardless of your sexual preference, gender identity, race, age, ability or body size.
HERE'S WHAT I CAN PROMISE YOU AFTER 10 YEARS OF BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER:
Your stories deserve to be handled with the utmost care.
I provide meaningful, lasting memories told with skill and heart.
You are the hero of this story, and I want you to remember it in the light and magic of being human.
My job is to help you remember how you connect with those you love most.
Now About Our Clients
Stories Matter
Our couples tend to be laid back, bucking tradition and embracing who they are, together and apart, in such a way that their wedding can’t help but be unique.
They care less about what 'should' happen at a wedding and more about the magic that happens in the 'in-betweens.'
Adventure. Authenticity. Heart.
Our couples aren't afraid to get a little dirty. They hike with us, climb rocks, skip across creeks and sit in the grass and dirt.
Our couples love being in the mountains as much as we do.
Well told stories about lasting connection.
For our couples, their friends and family are the most important "details" to be captured on their wedding day.
Well beyond location, venue or anything else, the people we photograph are most important.
FAQ
We know you’re excited about your images, so we deliver full wedding galleries to your inbox within 4-6 weeks of your wedding date. You will also receive a small gallery of highlight images of your wedding prior to your full gallery, ready to be shared with family and friends. Family and senior edits vary by season, but full family galleries are typically delivered no more than 3 weeks from your session date. Headshots are delivered within two weeks, and business photo timelines vary, depending on the scope of each project.
How long do we have to wait to get our full gallery of images?
For business and commercial work, Willie Fowler with Camera Head Media is the absolute best in this region. Mike Vanata with Square State Film is our favorite for wedding work.
Can you recommend a trusted videographer?
Yes! We are over the moon to capture LGBTQIA+ couples and families. As a photographer, I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment for all individuals, couples and families, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Every person, couple and family is unique and beautiful, and I am grateful to be able to help preserve memories for all humans (and/or their fur babies, as applicable!).
Are you an LGTBQIA+ friendly photographer?
What is your style?
Timeless, heartfelt and natural. Posing stays relaxed so it looks and feels relaxed. Edits are classic and timeless, with true-to-life color so you don't look back on your wedding day or your family photos in a few years and see the latest trend driven by Instagram. I don't like the recent trend of everything looking brown and tea-stained. Skin should never look super orange or red in photos. I make sure skin tones stay natural and flattering, and I keep background colors true to life.
I've never had photos done before...will you tell me what to do?
Absolutely! I will give you plenty of direction during your session, but posing stays natural and relaxed. I'll tell you where to stand in the best light, how to turn in relation to the camera and to each other, and then I'll give you prompts that will encourage you to have natural expressions and meaningful connection. We might play games that will make you laugh or walk together to add in some movement to your photos. My hope is that your session feels like you're just hanging out with a friend.
