The hard truth is that you spend just as much time with your photographer as you do your partner on your wedding day. It's incredibly important to me to establish a trusting friendship with you as you begin to plan your wedding. Prioritizing the experience allows me to document you genuinely, provides comfort, and establishes trust that I'm able to handle this momentous occasion in your life. My job is to pay attention, be present, and capture the hugs from grandparents, the tears from parents, and the laughter from your friends. Whether it's with 300 people, or a dozen of your favorite people, I'm here for it all.
“...You can feel the love looking at her photos of couples. Bonus, she somehow is a social chameleon and natural leader at the same time making for effortless flow of the vibes you want while still getting the shots she sees you loving forever. She listens to integrate your visions, but if you don’t have any or just trust her she will show you her creative eye for the vibrancy of the moment. She is also a good human, easy to work with, and mitigates any potential awkwardness around a photo shoot. ”
First fill out the contact formI and tell me all the things. Then we will set up a time to meet (in person perferably!) to chat all wedding details and make a connection. I will then create a customized package that reflects your wedding day. Once you complete the proposal, you will pay 30% of your final amount to secure your date, sign the contract, and then we are official!
I go into this in more detail during our consultation but the simple answer to this question is this: If you are not doing a first look, I recommend adding a second photographer.

My rule of thumb is about 80-100 images delivered for each hour of coverage. So on average, 700-800 images are delivered for an 8 hour day.
Your package include 2 hours of travel round trip. I'd love to be exposed to more Midwest weddings outside of Kansas City. I've shot in Topeka, St. Louis, and Columbia. I would love to add Iowa and Arkansas to my list. Farther outside of the Midwest I have traveled to Nashville, Vail, Charleston, and Sarasota! I'd love to tag along to wherever your wedding is located.
I do! I offer a heirloom wedding album at an additional cost, which I highly recommend. So many couples fail to print their wedding photos physically, so handing it off to me to take care of you is what I recommend! You can read a blog post all about it here
There is also a multitude of singular physical print options integrated within your gallery.
