Frequently Asked Questions

What is your style and approach to photography?

As a natural light photographer, I chase light. Using the knowledge I’ve gained throughout my career, I manipulate light to provide bright, airy, and clean photos. By using the light and guiding my couples into comfortable, simple poses, it allows me to get those authentic, romantic photos you see throughout the site.

What about a shot list? Should we give you one before the wedding?

I encourage Brides not to worry with things like shot lists. Other than family formals, our job is to photograph every detail and moment we see throughout your wedding day. By looking down at a list, it will only prevent us from seeing what’s in front of us.

Do you suggest a first look for the wedding day? 

Yes. First looks have become the new tradition/trend in weddings. This isn’t the only option, but it definitely is the best option for your photo outcome. It allows you to have a an intimate moment shared with your Groom, a stress free schedule, time for photographs, and best of all, you can join your cocktail hour!
