1. How far in advance should I book your services?
Honestly, the sooner, the better! Wedding and elopement dates can fill up fast, especially during peak seasons.

I know how much these memories mean to you, so I make sure you get a beautiful collection of moments from your day.

It’s easier than you think! I’ll help you every step of the way—from picking outfits that match your vibe to choosing a location that’s meaningful to you as a couple. My main advice is to relax and just be yourselves. We’ll spend the session laughing, having fun, and capturing the love you share.

Right now, I specialize in photography because that’s where my heart is. That said, I work with some incredible videographers and would be happy to recommend someone who can beautifully complement the photos I capture.

My style is all about telling your story. I’ll be there for the big moments—your vows, your first dance—and the in-between ones, like stolen glances and shared laughs. I blend candid photography with light guidance so you feel comfortable and look amazing. It’s your day, and I’m here to capture it exactly as it unfolds—real, beautiful, and full of love.
