FILM & DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY IN AUSTIN AND DALLAS, TX

Enchantment like yours deserves to be in full focus 

Before you know it, you’ll be among floral displays and a charming historic venue, soon to be united with your love (...and united with your reception’s champagne tower, because if you’re going to party, you best do it right). The rush of magic, in real time, happening right in front of you, is my rush of inspiration. And as you soak up the day in full, I’ll create a dreamy, visual collection of stationery, couture, courtyard dancing, inside-jokes, and glowing memories for you to relive once it’s all over.

Which is exactly what I'm here to give you.

COLORFUL, ROMANTIC, & TIMELESS. 

BRING YOUR PHOTOS TO LIGHT

Even years from now, when you dust off the wedding album, you’ll still feel the emotional high beaming through 

Gently composed, seamlessly captured 

I believe the light, your lively energy, and all the curated details of your day do a beautiful job of speaking for themselves. 

But whenever it’s needed, I’ll impart a subtle cue or my witty sense of humor to ease you in the right direction. Emphasis on subtle, always. 

I lead with gentle guidance and you can count on me to make every image reflect how you’ll feel in every moment — organic, natural, and true to yourselves.

BRING YOUR PHOTOS TO LIGHT

we'd make a wonderful match if you're...

Down to frolic in a field, (uncontrollably) laugh often, and don’t take life too seriously because it’s meant to be lived well.

Pining for flat lays, soft pastels, cascading blooms, 17th century chateaus, lights strung up outside, and the feel of wide open spaces.

Hoping to look back on your photos 20 years from now and still feel lit up with emotion from your wedding day.

Searching for a wedding photographer who cares about all the above with the skill to take your breath away through every image.

NOW HERE'S HOW IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

Swooning over my wedding portfolio? We’ll begin with a video consultation so we can talk details of your wedding and my photography approach.

Initial Video Consult

Portrait Sessions

I always recommend an engagement shoot or bridal session to get acquainted and master all your good angles before wedding day. Prefer your right over left? You’ve got it!

Planning & Logistics

A month before your wedding, we’ll run through moodboards, questionnaires, and your final timeline. A creative vision for your photos are only as good as the details.

The Wedding Day

Throw your hands up, it’s party time! This is the start of the rest of your lives and I’ll be there to document every bit.

Wedding Image Gallery

Finally, you’ll receive sneak peaks the day of and all your images in 5 weeks with options to print portraits straight from your gallery. Happy honeymooning! 

To give you a fully personalized experience, I create custom proposals with multi-tiered pricing. Reach out for more info and to secure your wedding date.


On average, couples spend between $5,000-$9,000 on their wedding collection.

QUESTIONS?

THE FAQ

Do you shoot film or digital?

My answer is yes (both, and). Digital photography does wonders but you can’t beat those natural tones that only come from film. We’ll discuss options on our consultation.

What’s included in each wedding package?

I create custom proposals based on hours and add-ons. If you want plenty of time for flatlays, portraits with each other, and detail shots, I personally recommend 10 hours.

How does payment work exactly?

To secure your date, you’ll need to put down a 35% deposit. Once an agreement is in place, your date is safe and secure with me. The remainder is due 1 week prior to the wedding.

Do you travel outside of Austin or Dallas?

No need to twist my arm, I’ll gladly travel across the U.S. and come to you. Planning an event overseas? That requires a bit more preparation so reach out and we’ll talk.

How early should we book you?

On average, I have couples reach out at least a year in advance (if not further) from their wedding date. Spots are limited, so it’s best to book as soon as you’ve secured your wedding date and venue.

Do you provide a second shooter?

Yes! A trained second photographer comes in handy for moments when I can’t be in two places at once (eg. your couples portraits and cocktail hour). Together, we’ll see to it that no moment is missed!
