DESIGN NOTE:
Don't worry, this is a hidden canvas. You can delete it after you read this. FYI, this top section is going to look strange, but it functions beautifully in the live preview, so don't delete the second section that appears blank / to have a weird gap! It's so the text will load over it beautifully.
Since the text is white and hard to see, just briefly turn the text black to edit, then back to white, or you can make it black and change the top background colors instead! — Jen

HOW IT WORKS
Your Initial Inquiry
Reach out to begin our journey together. We’ll schedule a consultation to get to know each other, explore your vision, and see how our connection can bring your story to life. I’m here to listen, answer your questions, and ensure you feel supported and excited as we move forward.
Planning & Consulting
Once your date is secured, I’ll work closely with you and your planner to understand your vision. My role is to ensure that every detail, emotion, and meaningful moment is captured beautifully, so you can relive your day with joy for years to come.
The Wedding Day
Your big day has arrived, and I’ll be there with a calm, guiding presence. I’ll capture everything from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate ones, ensuring your day unfolds naturally, with genuine emotion shining through.
Gallery Delivery and Heirloom Albums
After your wedding, I’ll carefully edit and curate your final gallery, delivering timeless, artful images that tell the full story of your day. You’ll have the option to create a custom heirloom album, turning your favorite images into a time portal you will cherish for a lifetime.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Make every moment count and be present.
Your wedding day should be about fully immersing yourselves in the joy of the day, and trust your team. Trust me, the day will fly by.
Enjoy every moment—*hire a planner*!
You deserve to enjoy your day (and so do your family and friends!) I prioritize weddings with a wedding planner, and am happy to send you a list of my favorites.
We love it when you bring us your ideas, then trust in the reason you hired us.
Shot lists can feel restrictive and limit the spontaneity of your day. When you give me the freedom to create, I’ll capture the unexpected beauty and authentic moments that make your celebration truly special.
Elegance without effort.
I believe elegance should feel effortless. My approach is to capture the beauty of your day without overposing, letting your natural grace shine through.
Your wedding, your way.
I believe your wedding should reflect your true style and story. Forget the trends and outside opinions—create a celebration that feels authentically you. Some traditions just don't make sense for you. Nix the ones that you don't like, and include the ones you do.
Celebrate What’s Real
I believe in capturing the raw, authentic moments—the ones that make your love unique. It’s the spontaneous laughter, the quiet tears, and everything in between.
The photos exceeded our expecations-
WE KNEW THEY WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL, BUT BEING ABLE TO RELIVE A MOMENT IS PRICELESS.
She is truly talented in capturing candid moments through a creative eye you can’t compare.
