Every detail of Your story deserves to be told authentically
The candid photos you see on my website or instagram are only possible because I value getting to know my couples. I love hearing what and who is the most important to you two. I send questionnaires before sessions and weddings so I can be fully prepared to capture photos that will make you tear up and reflect what's most important to you.
I only say yes to 10-15 weddings a year and I will only shoot one wedding per weekend. While a lot of photographers book 30+ weddings a year and multiple weddings a weekend, I never will. I do this so I can show up to your wedding and give you my 110% creative best. Your wedding will never be just "another weekend, another wedding" for me. When you book me as your photographer I become invested in you as a couple and as my friends. Therefore your day is SO important to me. You are investing a lot into me and it's only fair that I invest my time and energy fully into you, too!
All day I'm there to serve you. I make it my priority to make you feel so loved and celebrated. I strive to get to know your bridal party and family so that the whole day feels natural and comfortable for you everyone involved. I'm there to help YOU both however I can. If that means putting in your veil, pinning the boutinneres or grabbing you a drink - you can count on me to do whatever you need.
Your job is to enjoy your wedding (or session) fully. I want you to soak it all in and live IN the moment. I don't want you to worry about the photos or if we are behind schedule. My job is to make sure you feel stress free and can rest assured knowing that I'm going to deliver timeless photos to you, whether we are behind schedule or not. Your photos will be more authentic to you and FEEL like you if you aren't worried about them. Focus on the love of your life and I'll handle the rest <3
A story worth telling
A
Q
Yes! I serve Michigan and Florida but have traveled out west for a few destination weddings. I love seeing new places so I will happily travel wherever you are getting married. And I might just give you a discount if you're getting married in one of my bucket list locations :)
Do you do destination weddings?
For weddings and sessions I require a retainer at the time of booking. The remaining balance for a wedding is due 1 month before your wedding date. For a session the remaining balance is due the day before your session. All retainers are non-refundable, nor transferable.
How does payment work?
All wedding collections include at least 8 hours of coverage, 800+ photos, 35+ page wedding guide with tips, vendor recs, timeline examples, etc, wedding consultations with me, as well as a discount on an engagement session.
Travel is included within 50 miles from Grand Rapids. Anything outside that radius will require a travel fee.
What does full wedding coverage typically include?
Is travel included in your collections?
All collections are customizable to your exact needs for your wedding or session. Inquire for a full list of collection details and pricing.
Are your collections customizable?
All photos are delivered through an online gallery with full rights to download, print and share. For weddings you will receive 800+ photos and for sessions you will receive 50+ photos.
How will we receive our photos, and how many do we receive?
For weddings you can expect a preview gallery of 50+ photos within 1 week and the final gallery within 8-10 weeks. For all other sessions you can expect the full gallery within 3-4 weeks.
When can we expect to get our photos?
Nope! The raw images are only a small part of the finished photos that I deliver. My creative editing is the biggest part. Choose me as your photographer because you trust me and you love my style of photos!
Can we have the RAW images, too?
Of course! After we've started talking about your day, I'm happy to send you a few full galleries. Until then be sure to check out my "Galleries" page with my recent work!
Can we see a wedding gallery in full?
