The Wedding Experience
For couples who value candid joy and meaningful moments.
I'm here to create a time capsule of your wedding day.
For posed couples and wedding party portraits, I provide prompts that get you and your partner feeling comfortable and relaxed. This Richmond wedding photographer believes in being yourself.
We can spend as much or as little time as you want on your wedding day taking portraits of you and your partner. I am just as delighted being a fly on the wall as I am guiding you through poses.
With this directorial technique for posing and my documentary approach to your day, I'll create photographs you'll love for a lifetime.
The Process At A Glance
1. Curated Experience
Getting to know each other is so important to me! We'll can grab coffee if you're local or hop on a video call to talk about your wedding dreams, plans, and ideas to come. After meeting you, I'll create a custom tailored package just for you and your partner to best fit your style!
2. Engagement Session
We'll schedule your complimentary engagement photoshoot. I'll walk you through feeling comfortable in front of the camera and we'll create the perfect pictures for save the dates, wedding stationary, cute fridge magnets, or just because!
3. Prepared for Anything
My type A soul loves an action plan. While I have a very "go with the flow" personality and am ready for any last minute changes (manifesting no rain), I'll work with you and your planner to create a perfect photography timeline for your day. This way we will have all the time needed for photo magic.
4. Wedding Day
Cue the happy tears, the big day is here! It's going to be wonderful.
I'll be there to hype you up, fluff any skirts or veils, and slide into the background to capture everything little moment.
5. After the Wedding
Within 24 hours of parting ways, you'll have a sneak peak gallery in your inbox.
Within 6 weeks you'll receive a full gallery of stunning photographs ready to print, download, and share.
I encourage couples to make a date night out of looking through them to laugh and reminisce over all the fun!
