I'm based in Boise, Idaho and travel for more than 90% of my couples!
I'm from San Francisco and am back there often for weddings + sessions.
When you're feeling ready to book, I'll send over a contract + invoice where you can make the deposit (35% for weddings, 50% for couples sessions) and make it official!
No dates will be held until both are complete.
No worries! I will be guiding you the entire time. I utilize a mix of hands-on and hands-off prompting techniques as well as creating a comfortable space for the two of you to feel like you can be yourselves.
Yes! All wedding packages are shot in digital format, and you can add 35mm film or polaroids to your package.
I never deliver raw files. The editing process is a special part of my gallery deliveries. I will always include all the images that are 'usable', which means no eyes are closed, sorting through duplicates, etc. I promise not to leave out anything I think you'll love!
I always encourage embracing all types of weather because magic can be made in any type of conditions! If weather is looking extreme and I know it may be unsafe or very uncomfortable, we can set a reschedule date.
I will touch up any temporary blemishes that appear on your day, but I do not offer any Photoshop services that alter you, your body, or the environment. My documentary style of photography is meant to showcase + celebrate how beautiful life and people are, exactly the way they are.
Yes! If you're interested in a payment plan, we can set one up for you upon booking.
I love getting to be like a friend who happens to be taking your photos. My down-to-earth and grounded nature offer a relaxed + peaceful (and goofy & fun) environment, which allow my couples to feel like they can be themselves. I utilize a mix of gentle guidance to provide creative direction when needed, and a hands-off approach to allow organic moments to unfold.
My style is romantic, filmy, documentary, creative, emotive, and whimsical - all wrapped up into one big juicy nostalgic burrito. I love to capture moments exactly how they happened (the messy, the goofy, the moving, the tear-inducing), because life is raw and imperfect and that makes it so beautiful.
Sneak peek galleries are delivered 1 week after the session / wedding. Turnaround time for full galleries is typically 6-12 weeks depending on my travel schedule.
During busy season, gallery deliveries can take closer to the 10-12 week mark. I never rush through editing to ensure that every single image is given the attention to detail it deserves.
I will send over an outfit guide to help you prep + plan your looks! It's filled with lots of information about colors (what works, what doesn't!), accessories, and more!
Travel is included in most wedding packages so you don't have to worry about any extra fees!
Travel is not included in small session packages for out-of-state travel (engagements, families, etc), and is added to your invoice after I book my accommodations for 2 nights (lodging, car rental, flights).
Each gallery delivery is different and depends on the flow of the session or event. When culling through the images, I will always include all images that I think you'll love, and will leave out any images that aren't usable or flattering (eyes closed, duplicates, etc). You can expect about 59-100 images per hour.
