HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF LOOKING AT WEDDING PHOTOS AND FEELING… ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?

you are not alone, and you may be entitled to compensation.

just kidding.

but what if i told you wedding photography didn’t have to be boring?

 

i believe that when you are allowed to be yourself and you have an experienced documentarian by your side, you’re guaranteed to get photos you will actually care about.

photos that will make you feel something.

i’m all about creating space for you to be yourself so that i can be myself. because when we embrace who we are, everybody wins.

when you are free to be yourself, you give me permission to be myself. i’m at my best when i’m not trying to control everything.

i get you at your truest and you get me at my best which means…

we get artful photos you will cherish forever.

 

what do you want your wedding day to feel like?

 

the truth is that your photographer influences how you experience your wedding.

 

so how do you find the right photographer for you?

their photos should give you an idea of what they care about. are they after emotions and the unexpected or do their photos seem more formulaic?

ask about their approach. what is their process on a wedding day? does it match your vision?


MY APPROACH INVOLVES…

  • i photograph on intuition and am at my best when allowed to fully embrace the moment (without the stress of getting a specific photo you probably don’t really care about). so much of life is full of unexpected surprises and uncontrollable conditions, so why would a wedding be any different? expect the unexpected and embrace what is, because all that really matters is you and your people coming together in celebration.

  • when we are on the same page about what matters on a wedding day, everything goes smoothly. we will go over values during our consultation to assess compatibility.

  • photographs should become more valuable over time. photos made to copy trends you saw on instagram likely won’t mean much 20 years from now. photos made from real moments and real emotions? priceless, forever and always.

  • we will work together to draft a timeline that incorporates your values to ensure an enjoyable experiece for you. timelines should be created to enjoy the day, not to construct photo opps.

  • i’m more interested in what’s real rather than what’s pretty. when i focus on the truth, the beauty follows naturally. observing your day quietly in the background is the best way for me to do document the most truthful and beautiful moments of your wedding day.

you might be wondering…

 
  • usually feelings of awkwardness come from being asked to do things you wouldn’t naturally do. a documentary approach is very ideal for the camera-shy. when we are both on the same page about what matters on a wedding day, you will feel more comfortable knowing you don’t need to perform for me, that what you do naturally is all i wanna see.

  • in these cases i like to get a few standard portraits and then give you ways to interact if you need ideas. but mostly i just keep it simple and feeling natural.

  • i am at my best when quietly observing, but i do see value in group photos and recognize that they are a part of most weddings. i’m happy to take some snapshots of you with your people if you’d like. i prefer a simple, casual approach and am happy to discuss what will work best for your wedding.

  • most of the work on my website was made digitally, though i do have a section of only film photos. i have photographed weddings with only film, only digital, and a mix of both. reach out to me if you are interested in film and we can discuss specifics.

  • i love the creative inspiration i get when photographing new places and will happily travel to your wedding. weddings in summit, salt lake, and utah counties have no travel fee. locations outside of these areas may be charged a travel fee to cover travel time and expenses. select locations may be eligible for a discount. inquire for more info!

  • most of my weddings i shoot solo. adding a second photographer can be a good idea if you have a large wedding, timeline constraints, or want more coverage (more angles, more variety, etc.) happy to discuss your situation and whether i think you could benefit from a second shooter at your wedding.

  • a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit officially reserves your date, with the remainder due at least 3 weeks before your date. available payment options include credit card, bank transfer, and venmo.

  • 1- submit an inquiry through my website

    2- i will let you know if i’m available and will send you pricing info

    3- we set up a video consultation to go over everything

    4- i send you a quote, invoice and contract

    5- a signed contract and deposit reserves your day

    6- about a month before your wedding i will send you a questionnaire with the option to have another call to go over final details

    7- i send you sneak peeks within 1 week of your wedding, with the full gallery delivered within 8 weeks

  • your images will be hosted in a personal online gallery sent to you via email. inside your gallery you can create favorites lists, download the photos, share the gallery, and order prints and products. many package options also include physical prints, albums, and galleries on USB drives.

  • extensive retouching is not usually aligned with my values nor a part of my process. when temporary items are distracting from a photo, i may remove them at my discretion. i encourage my clients to embrace what is and see the inherent beauty present, but am happy to help touch up small details.

  • i have photographed corporate events, concerts, parties, families, boudoir, birth stories, seniors, headshots, branding, sporting events, real estate, and everything in between. anytime i can show up in a creative or documentary capacity i am IN.
