MINNESOTA DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY for couples who want to be FULLY PRESENT—and have photos that feel ALIVE, HONEST, AND DEEPLY YOU.
THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE
IT'S not about
THE PERFECT POSE
see what's included
Portraits that honor your connection: During portraits, I can guide gently if needed–but never to perform, only to help you settle into each other. My priority is making space for whatever feels true to you. Whether you’re laughing, tearing up, or simply holding hands, I’ll be there to witness and document the way it unfolds naturally.
The full story, not just the highlights: From quiet getting-ready moments to getting down on the dance floor, I’ll be there to document the whole arc of your day. My standard coverage is 8-10 hours, so you can stay present, knowing nothing important is being missed.
Real moments over perfect performances: I won’t ask you to redo anything or turn your day into a photoshoot. I believe it’s not my job to interfere–it’s my job to observe. What’s unfolding in front of me is already meaningful, and that’s what I’m there to preserve.
From our first hello to your final gallery, here’s what you can expect when you invite me to document your wedding day.
What Working With Me Looks Like
On your wedding day, my role is to be present and observant. I’ll quietly document the big moments and the little in-betweens, so when you look back, you’ll feel the laughter, the nerves, and the joy exactly as it happened. My focus is on the real story, with honest photographs that bring you back to how it felt.
Documenting it all as it really happens
Your day, your way
Once you’re booked, I’m your go-to for all things photo-related (and a few things that aren’t). You’ll get simple questionnaires to help me understand your plans, priorities, and personal details. Need timeline help? Honest input on family photos? A vendor recommendation? I’ve got you. Before the big day, we’ll touch base one more time so you feel confident and ready.
So you can relax and enjoy your day
Planning & guidance
Every great wedding gallery starts with connection. I want to hear all about you—how you met, what you love, and what you’re envisioning for your day. We’ll hop on a call, get together or chat over email so I can learn what matters most to you and start building that foundation of trust.
Getting to know you

HERE'S HOW it all flows

The phrase "it's a wedding, not a photo shoot" resonates with you
You want someone who quietly notices the little things and documents them with intention

You care more about being in the moment than performing for the camera

I will show up wherever I'm invited :) I’m based in the south metro of MN but love to travel! Travel costs are included for anywhere within 2 hours driving distance of Minneapolis–beyond that, we’ll customize a travel plan that works for where you're at.

No worries–that’s exactly what I’m here for. We’ll talk through your timeline, priorities, and vision for the day and I’ll help you figure out the right amount of coverage to ensure nothing feels rushed or missing. Most couples book 8-10 hours to capture everything from getting ready to the dance floor.

My style is rooted in observation, not orchestration. During portraits, I can give you a bit of guidance if it helps you feel comfortable, but I’m never going to force stiff poses. The rest of the day, I step back and observe while staying close enough to really see what’s happening. I don't want to direct the flow of your day, just tune into it. By being present and paying attention, I’m able to capture images that actually feel like yourselves.

I’ve heard this from many couples and honestly, I understand the stress. I feel the same way being in front of a camera sometimes but I promiisseeee what at first feels awkward will get better. During your engagement session, it usually takes just a few minutes to settle in. On your wedding day, there’s so much happening that you may forget the camera is even there. I’ll step in with guidance when it’s helpful or to kick things off, but my goal is ultimately to help you feel present with each other—not like you’re performing—so the photos reflect you, not a version of you trying to pose.

I take a primarily documentary/photojournalistic approach. I can help when needed (family photos, portraits, etc.), but otherwise I’m there to witness and preserve the real moments of your day.
That said, I’m not just lurking in the background. I’ll laugh with your friends, joke with your parents, and show off my (bad) dance moves. I consider it a huge honor to be invited into such a personal space, and the most meaningful images often come when I’m welcomed into that inner circle.

The final number depends on multiple factors: the length of coverage you decided on, the flow of your day, how much "stuff" is actually happening on your wedding day. As an average, you can expect 50+ images per hour of coverage, but I focus on delivering a complete, thoughtful gallery rather than a specific number.

Yes! Engagement sessions are included with all wedding packages because I truly believe they help us connect and you feel more comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. If you’re looking for a standalone engagement session, I also offer those separately <3

Backing up your images is something I take seriously. I shoot your images to multiple cards in camera on the wedding day. Immediately after your wedding, I back everything up in multiple places–on external hard drives and secure cloud storage. I never delete your memory cards until I’ve confirmed that every image is safely stored. I also keep your final edited gallery online for at least a year, so you have plenty of time to download and back it up on your end too.

I photograph most weddings solo and am confident documenting everything myself, even with a full guest list. That said, if your timeline or logistics would benefit from having a second perspective–like if you’re getting ready in different locations or want lots of coverage during cocktail hour–I can absolutely bring on a second photographer and have great colleagues I love to work with. We’ll figure out what makes the most sense for your day.

A non-refundable retainer (30% of your total investment) is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding date. I’ll go over all the details during our initial consultation so everything is clear and straightforward.
