Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My first one! It will always be burned in my brain because I was nervous! But it turned out beautifully and was the kick start to my career that has lead me here today.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Cinematic, Emotive, Intimate, Atmospheric, Magical
What about your business are you most proud of?
Setting it up during the pandemic right after college and being more successful than I ever expected!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure you find a photographer that fits your style as a couple. I know picking a photographer can be overwhelming because there are so many of us! Make it simple for yourself, and go with the photos that take your breath away.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
An ice sculpture of the couple's bull dog
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I encourage all potential clients to get in touch with me if they are interested. So please feel free to reach out and ask me questions if you are unsure about anything. I then like to schedule a complimentary 20-30 minute zoom call with the couple so that I can learn more about who they are and what they are hoping for from their wedding photographer! I also use this time to customize my packages so that the couple is getting everything they want within their budget.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I love the 'exiting the church/venue, just married, confetti being thrown, everyone cheering' photo. It's so special and fun.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I recently did a wedding with a really creative and artistic bride. We placed this velvet chair in the middle of the English countryside and did a super dramatic mini glamour shoot with the wind blowing her veil out to the side. It's currently the cover of my website so go take a look!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Just go with it! Umbrellas make super cute props, and there's nothing more romantic than rain.
Describe how you got into photography.
When I think back to the first time I discovered my passion for photography, I used to attribute it to a trip to Paris when I was a teenager. But when looking through old family photos, it's evident that my love for photography is much more innate than I originally remembered. My parents recently showed me pictures they found when clearing out the attic. As early as 2 I was taking selfies in the mirror, and as old as 6 I was photographing all family gatherings such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. What I find even more interesting is that in these childhood photos, I am almost always taking photos of people.
My earliest photography related memory is sitting on my dad's lap watching him use Photoshop on his computer. I must have been only 3 at the time. It's safe to say that photographing real people and providing them with beautifully edited photographs is something that has been completely ingrained in me since I was small.
