Weddings are more than beautiful venues and heartfelt vows — they’re rare moments when everyone you love, from every stage of your life, comes together in one place. I learned this deeply during my own wedding, standing in awe as family and friends — some meeting for the first time — shared stories, laughter, and tears. That surreal feeling shaped how I approach every wedding I photograph.

Today, as a parent, those moments hold even greater meaning. I see the pride in parents’ eyes, the joy of grandparents, and the once-in-a-lifetime connections happening all around. My goal is to document not just what your day looked like, but how it felt — the legacy of love captured in every tear, every smile, and every embrace.

One of the bigger decisions that you and your fiance need to make in the days and weeks leading up to your wedding day is whether you want to do a first look or not. Although there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to this, it is something that can have an impact on how your wedding day plays out.

One of the biggest questions that we get from our couples is if they need to put together a list of the specific photos or poses that they want us to capture on their wedding day.

Have you and your fiance ever had photos taken together before? Most couples that hire us for their wedding photos haven’t. And, odds are that if you haven’t had engagement photos taken, you've also likely never had professional couple photos taken together at all. This also means that we've likely never gotten to work together to take photos either. Because of that, we wanted to give you a little bit of a feel for what it's going to be like to work with us during your wedding day.

One of the hardest things about planning your wedding is figuring out how much time you need to build in for everything from hair and makeup to formal family photos, to toasts and even gown bustling.

We thought we would help you out a little bit by putting together a blog post with a few timeline tips and tricks so that as you’re building out your own wedding day timeline, you’ve got an idea of what’s worked in the past for other couples.

When it comes to considering whether a wedding shoot will include a first look or not, there can be a lot of controversy over the subject.

This most likely has to do with the fact that two well-loved traditions are being put head-to-head, aka the classic tradition (with the first look being from the altar), and the modern tradition (where the couple has an intimate moment before the ceremony to see each other and take photos).
