What it's like having me as your photographer...
I am a down to earth and bubbly person who loves to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
As a photographer, my goal is to capture the moments that matter. The moments that make you smile, laugh, cry, or wonder.
The moments that reflect who you are, what you love, and how you live. The moments that are real and beautiful.
I believe that photography is not just about taking pictures, but about creating memories. Memories that you can cherish, share, and revisit. Memories that can touch your heart, move your soul, and inspire your mind.
Memories that can last a lifetime.
That is why I approach every photography project with passion, dedication, and creativity. I take the time to get to know you, your personality, your preferences, and your vision. I listen to your ideas, suggestions, and feedback. I work with you to plan, prepare, and execute the best possible photoshoot for your needs.
I also use my professional skills and equipment to ensure the highest quality of photos. I have a keen eye for composition, color, light, and detail. I know how to use different techniques and settings to achieve the desired effect.
But most importantly, I have a heart for photography. I love what I do, and I do it with joy. I enjoy the process of capturing moments, from the first click to the final edit.
I also enjoy the outcome of creating memories, from the first preview to the final delivery. I take pride in my work, and I hope you will too.
If you are looking for a photographer who can capture the moments that are real and beautiful for you, look no further. You have found me.
Let me capture those special memories for you!
What to expect on your wedding day...
I love to be on time so expect to see me at least one hour before I am expected.
If I am shooting your before ceremony photos this is where I will take photos of the moments as they happen and capture some of those special small details.
Details such as your shoes, dress, flowers, jewellery, rings, suit, and more. I’ll capture those special moments of you getting ready and all those exciting and nervous butterfly moments.
I try to capture each moment naturally and will gently guide or suggest any movements so that we can use natural lighting as much as possible.
I then head over to the ceremony a few minutes before you so that I can capture your guests, the groom, and the venue.
Then I am in place and ready to capture you walking down the aisle as you look so beautiful! At the same time, I make sure to snap some shots of the groom looking at you with love in his eyes. Then it is vows and rings and guests' expressions and finally the magical first kiss moment!
Sometimes a bride prefers family photos etc done at different times of the timeline but often now is when I will snap a few family shots, some congratulations from guests as they hug you and the groom.
I then like to take you, the groom, and your bridal party aside and get those memorable, fun, and beautiful shots of you all together, then comes my favourite part! We send the bridal party to the reception and we spend a few quiet, magical moments with just the two of you, I like to encourage my bride and groom to just take in the day, the moment, and the memories so far at this point and to just be together.
I love capturing the raw real emotions and love during this time and will assist in gently prompting you two instead of rigid poses.
These images are the ones you will cherish the most for years to come.
I then capture the rest of the day and all its wonderful little moments as they happen.
Your wedding is one of the best days of your lives and I would love to be there to help you save it all in timeless, beautifully captured images.
What to expect on your photoshoot day...
I love to be on time, so I usually arrive 15 minutes before the session.
I take a look at the lighting, the location, the wind, etc to determine the best spots to photograph you and the best lighting positions.
I believe in helping you feel super comfortable in front of the camera and making our session fun and special.
I will often suggest prompts instead of just poses so that your photos look natural and capture the actual moment as it is happening.
I always ask if you have any certain images you may want captured, maybe a photo you've seen on Pinterest or a photo idea and I try my best to make that vision come true.
I am open to wild ideas that make a shoot different and more unique.
I love to chat during the session to get to know you better to capture your true essence.
Lets make some moments that will last forever!
