see what's included
Artful portraits shaped by your natural connection: You don’t have to perform for the camera. I’ll guide when it’s helpful, but mostly I’m watching how you naturally gravitate toward each other–your gestures, your expressions, the real connection you share. That’s what shapes your portraits and makes them feel classic and honest.
The full story, not just the highlights: From quiet getting-ready moments to getting down on the dance floor, I’ll be there to photograph 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 document.
Artful, relaxed portraits:
A little guidance and plenty of space for classic portraits that feel like you.
Full-day storytelling:
8–10 hours of coverage so the full arc of your day is captured.
Real, unscripted moments:
I document what’s happening naturally in front of me.
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
Once you’re booked, I’m your go-to for all things photo-related (and a few things that aren’t). You’ll get a questionnaire or two 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 be touching base so you feel confident and ready.
So you can relax and enjoy your day
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 (I love a good happy hour!) or chat over email so I can learn what matters most to you and start building that foundation of trust.

Both! I am currently booking for all of 2026 and the first half of 2027. If you’re interested in working together, reach out so we can see if your date is available!
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, you will likely have plenty else to focus on! 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, focusing on observing what's happening rather than directing. I can and do 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 know I'm being invited into such a personal space, and truly believe that the most meaningful images come when I’m welcomed into your 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.
You’ll receive sneak peeks within 3 days so you can relive the magic right away. Your full gallery will be ready within 10 weeks, delivered through a private online gallery where you can download, share, and even order prints.
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 can discuss what makes the most sense for your day together!
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.
