It’s never just about the photos

Your wedding day will move fast — time bends, things blur — and you’ll move from the first look to the last dance in what feels like a heartbeat. 

But photography gives it back to you

Not just the highlights, but the texture, the energy, the way it felt to be there.

It’s about creating something that lets you relive each moment with clarity.

A  rare chance to slow time and linger on details missed or those in-between moments otherwise forgotten. 

that’s where i come in

I don’t care about doing things the “right” way. 

I don’t care if you ditch a tradition or two, or seven — skip the ceremony (been there), party till sunrise (been there), or get married inside a dinosaur’s rib cage (BEEN there).

Because when the pursuit of perfection takes over, we risk forgetting what we’re here to honor.

About me

My background is in music and drag photography, but it wasn’t long before I met couples whose love felt like the photos I took — bright and bold, with an unmistakable energy.

I am proudly tri-coastal, and offer local rates throughout the year in

Santa Fe, New Mexico

And yes, I travel! Discounted packages are available for bucket list destinations. I’ve got a passport and a penchant for new places.

I’m happy to make it work and meet you in your corner of the world.

the process

  • First things first, let's make sure I’m available for your date. If so, NICE — we’re off to a great start! Once you complete an inquiry form, I will send over a wedding guide with detailed package and pricing information, so the more details I have about your wedding day and what you’re hoping for the better.

  • Have questions? Want to tweak your package a little? Weddings are a big commitment and I want to make sure you feel confident about every aspect. Set up a video or phone call at your convenience so we can chat details, get to know each other, and ask any questions before you make any investments. Each package is custom, and I am happy to accommodate.

  • After you decide on your package, I’ll send you an online proposal with all of the juicy details, a custom contract, invoice, and payment schedule. Once your retainer is paid, your date will be saved and the fun begins!

  • Once we’re a bit closer to the wedding date, I’ll send you a questionnaire to gather final details. From there you’ll receive a detailed photo timeline for the day and any agreed upon shot lists. If you have a wedding planner, I am happy to work with them on the timeline of the day to ensure everything runs smoothly, so keep me in the loop!

  • If your package includes an engagement session, pre-wedding party or rehearsal dinner, it’s a great time for us to spend together in person and have a trial run for your big day.

  • Okay it’s happening! This is the day you've been planning for quite a while, and it's time to celebrate! Leave all the details & logistics to me  — I guide you, your bridal party, and families throughout the entire day.

  • If your package includes digital photography, you will receive sneak peeks within 48-72 hours after your day and a full gallery in 6-8 weeks. If your package includes film, it will be sent to developers within 24 hours and is typically processed within 2-3 weeks. Video timelines are custom to each couple. All images and videos will be available in a digital gallery where you can share with friends and family, download to your computer or hard drive (do this!), share on social media, and order prints and other keepsakes. 

    Pro tip: Make a date night out of reviewing your photos — some bubbles, a blanket, and reliving memories you’ll cherish forever? Come onnnn.

FAQs

  • I require a signed contract and a 25% non-refundable retainer fee to secure your booking.

  • I recommend beginning your booking process as soon as you have a confirmed wedding date. My calendar fills up quickly, and securing your date in advance ensures that I can dedicate time and expertise to preparing for your special day.

  • I don’t! My wedding coverage is all-inclusive and has no set time limit. The last thing I want at your wedding is for us to feel rushed during important moments or have you worrying about my schedule. All packages are created with shoot time in mind as well as things like venue and wedding size, travel requirements, and your ideal scope of coverage.

  • I sit down with every single couple to create a game plan for your coverage and timeline — whether it’s a teeny elopement on film or a full-fledged destination weekend with video and content packages, no detail is left unturned as we make sure the day is captured exactly how you’d like it. 

  • Absolutely! I love to travel and am available for destination weddings worldwide. Travel fees and accommodations may apply depending on the location, and I will work closely with you to make the necessary arrangements as affordable as possible (points queen over here). Throughout the year, I offer local rates in New York City, Chicago, and Santa Fe, NM.

  • No, sorry. RAW images don’t accurately reflect the quality and style of my work, so in my hard drive they will stay. Your edited photos will be delivered as jpegs, and I am happy to resize any photo or send it to you in a different digital format.
