but they do have starts...
true love stories
don't have endings,
Your experience with me starts before you even step foot in front of the camera! I want to get to know you and learn all about what makes your relationship so special and unique.
​
I love photographing the type of images that really captures who YOU are, because every love story and person is unique and beautifully made. This is not about getting the perfect instagram photo or the perfect pose, this is about you and your love. I am here to serve you in this way, and I want to feel like your friend while I capture these kinds of images for you!
let's tell your story
my approach
personal | intentional | timeless
This is one of your biggest adventures yet, and I want to be here to provide you with a fun, stress-free experience. I know how overwhelming planning a wedding can be, and stress should be the last thing you feel when you think about marrying your partner.
​
My job as your photographer goes far beyond just showing up on your wedding day to capture your images. From providing you with a wedding guide to help you organize your day, to making sure you have a blast at your engagement session, to fluffing your wedding dress, pinning boutonnieres, helping your mom zip up her dress, and making sure you don't forget to eat!
​
I understand how expensive weddings can be, and that you both work hard for your money. I don't take your investment lightly and I want you to feel confident in choosing me as your photographer.
​
As your wedding photographer, I want to honour how you want to spend the day. I want to make sure that this entire process makes you that much more excited for your wedding day. I want the focus to be on your love for each other. I will share all of the knowledge that I’ve learned over the years of documenting weddings. I want to ensure you have everything you need to have an absolutely magical wedding day, and you can walk away with truly stunning images since you deserve nothing less!
​
Because your wedding should feel like this
the experience
​
​
It is my goal to give you the best possible wedding experience when you hire me to be your photographer. I want to assure you that I prioritize my clients and their experience when planning a wedding, because it is no small thing to invest with the right photographer for you.
​
One thing that is absolutely necessary when it comes to making sure things will run smoothly on your wedding day is having clear and efficient communication leading up to the wedding day. So it starts here, right in the beginning. You can expect there to be very little time waiting in between emails (I'm always reachable and you rarely will have to wait more than 1-3 business days for a response to an email or text) and having me touch base with you throughout the engagement so we're all on the same page.
​
guiding you, step by step
This is one of the biggest pieces I offer as part of my services as your photographer. I promise to not only deliver stunning photos and a great experience, but I'm here to offer you help and direction when it comes to planning out the day. We will go over your timeline together leading up to the wedding to make sure we're utilizing your photo coverage time efficiently, and to ensure that the day will run as smoothly as possible. I am here as your wedding day best friend to ensure total success and make your engagement a breeze.
​
not just a photographer,
also a friend
I want you to feel totally comfortable and at ease with me, not only while shooting your engagement session and wedding day, but also through all the planning. I am basically a professional third wheel for the entire day! In my experience, comfortability often comes naturally when we just connect as people and get to know each other!
When I'm not spending my time photographing love, I am a total home body spending my time with my husband and two cats. My hope is that by the end of this, you feel like you've not only had a great experience with me as your photographer, but that you've also gained a new friend.
the process
01
First, we need to decide if you think we are a good fit! Are you drawn to my work? Do you think it would be fun to have me document your celebration? Are you looking to celebrate your love your way? If you answered yes to any of these, it's time we chat!
02
I want to meet you! I believe this to be such an important step in the process! I like to take this opportunity to make sure we're all excited to work together and want to hear more about your wedding plans. This can be over the phone, on Zoom, or in person - whatever is most comfortable for you! If it's obvious we are going to have a great time working together, we will confirm your date with a contract and retainer.
03
We begin creating magic together starting with your engagement photos and prepping for the wedding day. We will discuss your timeline, any specific or special images you want captured, and all the other little details that get finalized along the way. We can connect as little or as often as you like. I will answer all of your emails with any questions you have! And remember, ask all the questions!
04
The day finally arrives! I show up early, we hug, I get to work, you marry your best friend! You leave for your honeymoon (or cozy up in bed) and soak in that newlywed bliss. A sneak peek will be in your inbox the next day so you can relieve some of the best moments. 8 weeks later, your fully edited (high resolution, ready to print) photos will be available in your online gallery.
faq
Do you require a deposit?
Yes! A 40% retainer is required to secure your wedding date. Should you choose to cancel the contract, the retainer is non-refundable. Your balance will be due 7 days before the event.
Do you deliver every image you shoot? Can I ask for the RAW (unprocessed) images?
No I do not. I go through your images and pick out the ones that are out of focus, test shots, bad lighting, etc. I will not send out the raw images because editing and the style that I use to edit is half the creative process. It's the way that you should be able to recognize a certain photographer over another. Giving you the raw files would feel incomplete to me and would be a disservice to the art!
Do we have to feed you?
I would love if you did! It's also in my contract, I kindly request that you seat me in the same room as your guests so I don't miss a moment! Don't you worry - I'm quick to eat and back on my feet as soon as possible.
Do we need a second shooter?
For the most part, I document weddings on my own. If you have a large number of guests (more than 100) and you're hoping for lots of guest candids, let's add a second shooter. Often times, the best part of the day to get these candids is during cocktail hour - but if we need to do portraits at this time (family, wedding party, couple shots), it may affect how many images I am able to get. Additionally, if you and your partner are getting ready at the same time and want these portions of the day documented, a second may be needed. Leave it to me to secure a professional shooter to assist for either half or full day coverage!
How far will your travel?
Most of the work I do is in Edmonton and surrounding area - but I'd be happy to travel across the globe for your wedding! My passport is up to date and my bags can be packed in a minute! For any shoots out of area, travel fees will be added.
What happens if you can't make it to our wedding?
In the very unlikely event that I am unable to shoot your wedding, I will give you as much notice as possible that I am no longer available! I will refund all money received less any services rendered (ie; engagement photos) and I will provide you with as many options as possible for a replacement. I will secure a list of photographers that are available for your date, and do my best to find someone with a similar style and price. I am happy to say out of all the weddings I have photographed, I have never been unable to attend your wedding. Unless I am deceased, I will be there.
