My approach to every wedding includes personal, authentic, and custom for each couple. That’s why every interaction we have is 100% from me. Every communication we have is written by me, personal between us, and tailored to your specific needs. Your wedding is going to be beautifully crafted to reflect the love shared between you and your partner. Your memories of this day should be, too.

NOT ALL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

FAQs
-
When photographing, I use cameras that have two memory card slots. This allows me to have a backup available right away should something happen to one card (knock on wood).
When I arrive home, I place copies of your files on my computer, an external hard drive, and on a cloud server. I always ensure that I have at least three copies of your images at all times.
-
I travel all the time! Living in the country, I joke that we’re 45 minutes away from everything. In actuality, I’ve traveled across Iowa, the Midwest, and the USA for weddings. Local travel fees begin one hour outside of Des Moines (or my home, whichever is closer to you venue), and I’m more than happy to provide a custom quote for anything beyond the Iowa borders.
Looking to go International? Sign me up! I’m always ready to pack my camera in a carry-on and hit the road for your nuptials. (Cue Frodo running away from the Shire for an adventure.)
-
With all engagement sessions and weddings, I provide preview images within 24 hours. For your engagement photos, your gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks. Wedding galleries are provided 6-8 weeks after the big day.
-
Absolutely! I believe that your photos should be turned into tangible memories to fill your walls and your heart. I offer prints directly through your online gallery.
Would you prefer an heirloom quality album to hand down through the generations? I’ve got those, too, and I’ll help you create your perfect, custom album to relive your wedding time and time again.
-
My goal is to keep things simple, efficient, and streamlined for my clients. Once you reach out through my contact page, I’ll email you with investment information and to schedule a consultation. In our meeting, we’ll discuss your wedding, my experience and expertise, and your needs. We’ll also make sure we’re a great fit because come wedding day, we’re going to be spending a LOT of time together.
Once you let me know which collection fits your wedding day the best, I’ll draw up a contract. Your signed contract and retainer payment ensures your date is locked down on my calendar, and then the real fun begins!
