How it works
My approach is built on presence and paying deep attention to your people and your story. I’m not just your photographer, I’m here to make your day feel more like yours – and to stand in between you and anything that disrupts your peace.
My goal is always to keep you grounded in the moment, not pulled out of it. I’m here to witness the quiet moments and the explosively loud ones, taking great images, and not interrupt the experience. I’ll sometimes give you clear guidance on posing, and sometimes you’ll forget I’m even there.
It’s easy to lose track of everything you’re experiencing on such big, full days. With the photos and videos we gather, I want you to be able to use the photos and videos we gather to go back to the real moment, every time.
What it actually looks like:
Collect
Individual headshots, creative family sessions, branding suites, and the big day itself; I’ll help plan things out then arrive to record, direct, and make some memories with you.
Assemble
After the videos and photos have been taken, I ship off the film, create back-ups of all our content, and hide away in my editing room to weave the story together.
Deliver
You receive everything in a digital gallery with easy print ordering options. If I have the pleasure of designing a print album for you, a beautifully bound version will be shipped to you.
1.
We meet. Either you send me a message, happen upon a business card, or we meet our in the world. I learn about whatever it is that you need documented.
2.
Next, we confirm all the basics: availability, location, and the type of coverage you need. We’ll talk about price, about film, and about time. I’ll send over an invoice with cost info, expectations, and delivery dates. We can make any changes to the package to make sure your needs and your wants are all delivered.
3.
Once you’re 100% satisfied with the package we build you’ll receive a finalized contract.
Sending your signed contract back to me and making a 50% deposit saves your date!
4.
Now, we wait till you’re date!
In the meantime, you’ll receive a long questionnaire (not too long, don’t worry!) asking about your life, your aesthetics, and your event. This info helps me align everything with exactly what you’re looking for.
If you like, we’ll have a video call to plan and scheme. These are collaborative and low-pressure conversations where we can talk through your vision. I can help coordinate the surprise proposal, give tips for getting comfortable in front of the camera, and confirm timing, light, and logistics.
5.
It’s go time! Everything has been laid out and now we get to start filming and taking photographs. By this time, I’ll know you fairly well. You’re aesthetic, your vibe, and your relationship will be my guiding light as everything unfolds
You aren’t a checklist or another-day-another-job to me, I’m here with you in whatever event is unfolding. We’ll celebrate, we’ll laugh, I’ll cry happy tears! If you’re nervous, I’m here. If something goes wrong, I’m here. If everything goes right, I’m here. No matter what, I’ll be there with you, making sure you enjoy every moment.
6.
Now, all the film is captured, all the images taken. I immediately back-up all the digital footage and send out all our film for development.
You get to kick back and relax. And, I get to hide away in the editing room. For all the weddings, engagements, and families, I’ll cry about it all again. I really do love y’all at this point!
Likely, you’ll receive some sneak peaks within 24 hours.
7.
You’ll receive your film, your photos, and any unedited Super8 footage in a curated digital gallery.
I like to balance giving you absolutely everything, without giving you too many images to possibly enjoy. I hand-review every second of film and every single image to select the best of them. The gallery itself is a story. You’ll know how many images to expect, but it’s very likely you’ll get a few more.
Your gallery is directly linked to one of my preferred printers, so you can order prints with ease. Your downloads are unlimited. You can share your gallery with your nearest and dearest. I password protect your gallery, so only those you want to see things can and it’s save from any other eyes.
