Open to Travel Within the United States 
I’m excited to announce that I’m now opening my books to include destination weddings anywhere in the United States! Whether you're tying the knot in Charleston, the streets of Boston, or the beaches of Hawaii, I’m here to capture your love story in any setting you choose. I’ll work closely with you to ensure transparency and provide a clear breakdown of any adjustments as we finalize your plans and package.

Retainer Information
A $500 non-refundable retainer is required at the time of booking to secure your wedding date for all packages. This amount is applied toward your total package cost and credited to your final payment. This retainer not only reserves your wedding date but also covers essential preparations, such as travel arrangements, administrative tasks, and hiring a second photographer if needed. By taking care of these details in advance, I ensure that your day is captured flawlessly and stress-free.

Inclusivity
Love is love, and every story deserves to be told. I am a proud LGBTQ+ photographer, and my mission is to create a welcoming and affirming space for all couples. Whoever you are and whoever you love, know that you are celebrated here.

Coverage Guide
Choosing the right amount of coverage for your wedding day is essential to ensuring that every cherished moment is captured without feeling rushed or staged. With years of experience, I’ve found that starting with a base of 8-10 hours provides the perfect balance to document your day fully and authentically.

Consider extending your coverage to 12 hours if:
- You have multiple locations requiring travel time.
- Your guest list includes a larger family or friend group that will need more formal photos.
- You’d like after-party moments or a send-off captured.

Understanding your coverage needs is key to crafting a stress-free and seamless experience. If you're unsure, please inquire and I will work with you to help you choose the best package for your needs. The result? A beautifully curated gallery that allows you to relive your wedding day for years to come.

Long after the florals have wilted, the champagne has been toasted, and your gown is packed away, your photos are what remain. If you choose me, I vow to you that you’re getting more than just a photographer—you’re getting over a decade of experience, white-glove service, and someone who cares deeply about your story. While I encourage couples to do their research for this big decision, I’ll save you a little time: in my 10+ years of experience, you won’t find a single bad review, a missed gallery deadline, a ghosted client, claims of lost photos, or any instance of me taking this responsibility lightly. Your memories are sacred to me, and I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would want for my own.

Payment Plans Available
I know wedding expenses add up quickly, and making one large final payment right before your big day can feel overwhelming. That’s why I offer customized payment plans upon request—so you can invest in your memories in a way that feels comfortable for you.

Photography is both a luxury service and an art form - and I believe in honoring that while staying grounded in price transparency. I know how much thought, emotion, and research goes into planning a wedding, which is why I’m always upfront about pricing and packages from the very beginning. You deserve clarity as you make these meaningful choices, and my goal is to provide a process that feels effortless, supported, and full of intention.

Please inquire through my contact form if you have any questions or would like to contact me about a custom package.
