Because one day, the flowers will fade and the music will quiet, but you’ll still have these photographs. The people gathered around your tables may not always be here, but the way they laughed, the way they looked at you, the way it all felt will live on in these images — ready to be returned to, time and time again.
My approach to photography is about thoughtful storytelling. I’m not interested in trendy poses or over-styled moments. I prefer the real stuff—the images that take you back, that stir the feelings, that bring the people you love into sharp focus, even years from now.

(that I do best)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Corinthians 13: 4-13

If I’m available for your wedding date, I’ll send you a link to schedule a Zoom call. We’ll talk about your vision and the parts of the day that matter most to your story. You’ll have a chance to ask me anything—packages, pricing, etc—so we can be sure we’re a great fit before moving forward.
Inquiry Call
step 02.
After our chat, I’ll send a tailored proposal with your package, contract, and payment details. You’ll be able to customize your coverage, sign the contract, and pay your retainer to officially reserve your date. I take on a limited number of weddings each year.
Custom Proposal
step 03.
Planning & Coordination
Leading up to your wedding day, I’m here as a resource for you — offering vendor recommendations, creating a custom photography timeline, and making sure you feel fully prepared. If you’ve booked an engagement session, we’ll plan and capture it during this time as well.
step 04.
On the day, I’ll be there with a calm, intentional approach — guiding when needed, stepping back when not. I focus on capturing the energy, the details, and the in-between moments that make the day uniquely yours.
The Wedding Day
step 05.
After the champagne is gone and the last song has played, I’ll share sneak peeks within 24 hours. Your fully edited gallery will be ready within 30 days — timeless, thoughtful images to return to again and again.
Out for Delivery

I recommend reaching out as early as possible (even if it's before engagement - that's totally fine too) Dates usually book up pretty quick and I'm taking a limited amount of weddings per year to ensure each couple gets my whole heart and soul.
When should I reach out?
To officially reserve your date - you simply send me an inquiry, we hop on a brief Zoom call and make sure we’re the right fit, then I send you a contract + invoice that you can take care of with a few clicks. Super simple and easy process!
What is required to officially book you?
Yes! Video is available as an add-on and is filmed and created by my husband Mark. As a husband-and-wife team, we work closely together to document your day in a way that feels cohesive, natural, and unobtrusive.
Do you offer video?
While the industry standard is 6-8 weeks, I deliver 30-50 "sneak peek" photos within 24 HOURS after your wedding day, and your final gallery will be delivered within ONE MONTH of wedding day! For all other sessions, I deliver 10 sneak peaks the next day and the full gallery within 3 weeks.
When will we receive our finished gallery?
For a detailed breakdown of packages, pricing, and à la carte options, send me an inquiry and I will email my Full Pricing Guide to you. It covers everything you need to know about what’s included, so we can find the coverage that fits your day best.
What is included in your packages?
You betcha! While I am based in AR, I travel across the US and abroad throughout the year capturing stories. Travel beyond Northwest Arkansas will receive a custom pricing guide with travel costs included, no extra/hidden fees. My availability is limited, so I recommend inquiring as soon as your date is set to ensure I’m available.
