Tell us a little more about your business.

"My love for photography started during my senior year of high school. I absolutely loved going out and taking photos of my friends! I knew then that this is what I wanted to do with my life. From there, I went to college to study photography, and since then have invested in online courses to further my education. Through those courses, I'm not only confident behind the camera, but my unique posing system makes being in front of the camera fun and easy!"

What sets you apart from other photographers? why should brides chose you? 

"What sets me apart from other wedding photographers is the relationship I build with my brides and grooms. I love love stories and I love connecting with my couples. I'm here to help every step of the way. Not only will I be there for your wedding day, but I'll work with you on a customized wedding day timeline so that we get the very best light for your photos! I also include a free personalized style guide to help pick out exactly what to wear for your engagement session."

Is there anything special you would like our audience to know about?

"Yes! For anyone who mentions this blog post from WeddingDay when filling out the contact form on my website—I'll take 10% off their first session booked with me!"
 

What inspires you as a wedding photographer?

"What inspires me as a photographer is the people. I love meeting new people and building relationships with them. To me, the couples I serve aren't clients, they're my friends."
 

What do you love most about photographing weddings?

"What I love most about photographing weddings is right before sunset when I sneak away with the couple for their husband and wife portraits. The most stressful part of the day is over and they get to finally relax and spend some time alone together as husband and wife. They're always so happy to finally be married and I get to capture that joy for them to look back on for years to come."
