WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Find joy in your journey together.
Wedding photography strengthens your relationship. Photographs add meaning to your journey together and the romance of your marriage.
The goal of wedding photography:
The purpose of your photography is to create a personal history for you to relive and pass on to the next generation. Your pictures are meant to craft an emotional story from your wedding day. They'll remind you of the joy and romance you felt together getting married.
Planning Your Wedding Photography:
I want to learn about the path that led you to marriage and the experiences you want to have at your wedding. This helps in planning how to make everything come together in your photography. This means connecting with you and staying organized for you, so you'll enjoy your wedding day to the fullest.

FAQS
• How soon should we book our photography?
As soon as your wedding date is confirmed. To reserve your wedding date you'll need a non-refundable reservation fee equal to 25% of your package and a signed online contract.
• Can you take a last minute booking?
If I have your date open yes. Contact me and let's talk about it!
• Will you do our engagement shoot?
If you want engagement pictures, let's do it! My packages include engagement shoots. If you already did engagement pictures we can talk about what else you'd like in your package.
• How experienced are you?
I have over a decade of experience as a professional photographer and a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications. I started my career by doing commercial assisting in college, then graduated in 2008 and was employed by a corporate studio. In August of 2012, I started my own business.
• What if you haven't been to my venue?
I'm always excited to shoot somewhere new and bring a fresh perspective to your venue! I can do a walk through so I'm familiar with the space and lighting conditions at your venue before your wedding day.
• Do we need a second photographer?
A second photographer can increase the number of photographs you get, make portraits go faster, and give you more opportunities to capture the action at large weddings. I also shoot weddings solo. We'll talk about which choice is right for you.
• Do you travel?
Yes! Travel within Minneapolis, St. Paul, Stillwater, St. Cloud, and Mankato area is complimentary for weddings. I’m also happy to take a trip to Rochester, the North Shore, or travel to you anywhere in the continental United States.
• How many pictures do we get?
When it comes to your wedding, quality is more important than a set number of shots. My goal is to deliver pictures that feel complete in telling your wedding story. The number of pictures you receive depends on how long I’m shooting and what happens during the wedding.
• When do we get our pictures back?
Weddings are delivered in 8-10 weeks. Engagements take 3-4 weeks. I've found this is a time frame that allows me to do my absolute best work and be detailed oriented about your editing.
