Over the past few years, I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day.
The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts.
This day is about more than the cake and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a marriage and a new generation. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and season and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!
This pricing guide shares a little more about my approach to wedding photography and how I ensure you get images that capture your legacy. I can't wait to get to know you better!
the wedding experience
for photos that feel as real as the moment itself.
My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. I believe photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. When my couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, that results in genuine, joyful images! After the wedding day is over and your guests have headed home...the only thing you have left to remember all of the incredible moments will be your photos!

I pour my heart, body and soul into each and every wedding client and because of that I have come to realize there is no one size fits all for weddings. By getting to know you two early on in the process I am able to make this experience unique and special to you. I want to provide a boutique booking experience that is best suited for you and your day!
My clients value family and the bond of marriage. They know that their wedding is a once in a lifetime celebration that is worth capturing and sharing with generations to come!
I offer high end, bound Signature Albums for my wedding clients. The images are printed straight onto the pages and the covers are wrapped with top grain leather or Fine Linen. This is the perfect ending to The Wedding Experience! It helps distill your wedding day down to your absolute, most cherished photos, put together in a story format that is a tangible item as a keepsake that can be passed down for generations and generations to come!
Why invest in an Album?
Albums are 10x10 flat lay, leather or fine linen bound, begin at $1000 and contain 40 pages (20 spreads). Additional spreads can be added on at $50 per spread.
Signature Albums are 40% off when you choose the opportunity for me to create a custom collection!
Duplicate Albums for parents are size 8x8 and are $400.

Engagement sessions are a really great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and so I can get to know how you two interact with each other. That way on your wedding day you already feel like a pro and you can focus on enjoying the day with friends and family. I book engagement sessions at least 6 months prior to wedding day and always encourage travel to a meaningful location.

Of course! I love making sure there is structure and order to a wedding day and after shooting many, many weddings I learned how to create a timeline that flows well and allows for a fun and relaxed day. If you hired a planner/coordinator (or even if you didn't) we will all work together to create the perfect timeline for your big day! If you feel unsure of the amount of hours you will need, this process will help determine the appropriate amount of hourly coverage. You can always add additional hours closer to wedding day.

How many images do I receive?
I average 75-100 images per hour of coverage. I love delivering my client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery (4-6 weeks). I go through the thousands of images that I take and carefully select the very best ones! After I edit your images to be light, airy and elegant I will upload them to an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want!
I use the same online gallery to deliver engagement and bridal portraits!

How do I secure my date?
I'm based out of Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Although most of my weddings are located in Charlotte metropolitan area, I am willing to travel literally anywhere! Weddings within a 1.5 hour driving distance are complimentary. Weddings between 1.5 - 2.5 hours will require 1 night accommodation. Weddings over 2.5 hours driving distance will require 2 nights accommodation.

I love to either meet in person or over the phone with every bride to be before booking! This gives us a chance to get to know one another to ensure we are a good fit. If we want to take the next step, I'll get your contract signed and 25% deposit to secure your date on my calendar!

I do! I'm a huge advocate for knowing your money and sticking to a budget. I know you're putting a lot of money into venues, caterers and all kinds of other vendors right now, which can create a financial stress. I don't ever want to be the reason for added stress or a financial burden so I am happy to work out a payment plan that works best for you and your family. Just ask, there's a couple options that I'm willing to offer!

I am so glad you contacted me!
Like SO thankful!
Enjoy this season of engagement and get excited about your BIG DAY because it’s going to be fabulous! Plan and prepare but always remember that at the end of the day, you’re marrying the love of your life and that’s all that really matters. Don't forget to date each other during this season and have conversations without the topic of the wedding too ;)
Please know that I am here to answer any questions that you may have. Congratulations on your engagement and I look forward to hearing from you!
