This job can be hard, especially being a one-woman show. However, clips like these help remind me why I love doing it in the first place. I will never be able to thank all of my clients, past and future, enough for allowing me to live my dream. This is just the beginning and I can’t wait to continue capturing your love, your milestones, and making lasting friendships 🥹

Prompted vs Candid ✨ wedding edition 💍
I love prompts. And GOOD direction will initiate candid photos effortlessly. Sometimes they’re connected, sometimes I capture a moment you didn’t even know was happening. They can work in unison and are great for those who feel a bit shy in front of the camera! Also, how about my couples?! Thank you for trusting me 🥹🫶

Which do you prefer?
Posed vs. Prompted: engagement edition 💍 I always tell clients you’re not awkward, you need direction and THAT’S what prompts are for (and me 🙂↔️)! I want to do prompted vs candid next! Which one’s your favorite?

These two and their pup, Rocky, were a bit nervous for their engagement shoot. They were worried about feeling stiff and awkward since they’ve never had their photos taken before. I gave them my spiel of how I love constant movement and how I take things into account based on what their expectations are and based on the answers they give me on the special questionnaire I send out. As expected, they were naturals! Can’t wait for the wedding day🫶

The one thing I recommend my couples put in their timeline! It’s easy to get caught up in the details of the day to the point you aren’t present. This one thing helps keep you grounded 🫶

☀️Natural light: -NL=more cohesive editing. This helps me keep things true to color since there’s no artificial light which can really affect how warm or cool the final image will look.
❣️First Looks -Whether with dad or your future spouse, this is such a special moment I don’t take lightly capturing. Even if my couples don’t want me present and want to be truly alone, I still love it because it reminds them what the day is all about. Them.
💍Walking down the aisle after saying “I do” -This moment is so fun to capture because of the pure JOY that everyone present is feeling. The waving of the bouquet, the hands in the air showing excitement, you can feel the “we did it” energy oozing through the lens. *A bonus is the midway or end of aisle kiss. It’s less formal than the first kiss, more emotional and perfectly imperfect.
As a wedding photographer, what do you love?!
