My favorite part of serving my clients is seeing them happy. What makes this experience special is that I am very detail oriented. So, I like to make sure each picture is special. Because of that, I capture each wedding detail because they are all meaningful. Everything you have on your wedding day is memorable, so it deserves to be captured in a beautiful way. Throughout the day I make sure you are stress-free and that each moment is captured in a way that makes your day easier, so that you can relax and live in the moment. Because of that, I'm quick at posing, everything feels natural, and more candid moments occur. The time to take portraits creates memories and fun moments for you and your loved ones.

We will decide a day to meet for a final call over zoom. We will go over the timeline, and I will send you a wedding questionnaire so we can plan out family shots and other important details. This is the time you can also ask me any advice or questions about planning or anything wedding related. Though, my email is always open if you have anymore questions.

You can expect your wedding gallery to be finished within 1 month. I take my time editing each image to perfection. I find that it is essential not to rush. The private gallery will be displayed online where you can download high resolution images and share to friends and family. They will be backed up online for ten years so you won't loose them, but if something were to ever happen in the future, reach out to me because they will be backed up in my external hardrive as well.

Wedding Gallery

A relaxing experience that results in beautiful photos

I have multiple lens to choose from therefore if one has a problem, I have another one directly on hand as I carry two camera bodies attached to me at once. Doing this helps me capture different aspects of a scene. Each of my cameras have a back up card slot so that if one card malfunctions, the other will still have the images. Therefore, you'll never loose your photos. You also will never loose your assess to your online gallery because I have unlimited storage. It will stay there forever.
