Before any wedding day, it’s important for me to sit with my couples and review their preferred shots, timeline of the day and everything they are hoping to get from their wedding day portraits. It’s an amazing time to get together, connect and establish a relationship so I can help capture all the best moments from your magical wedding day!!

Rachel & Jason ✨ This wedding season gave me so Rachel & Jason ✨
This wedding season gave me so many moments to smile about—like Rachel & Jason’s stunning backyard wedding. 🌿💍

Everywhere I turned there were friends, family, and so much love filling the space. It was one of those celebrations that reminded me what weddings are truly about—connection, laughter, and being surrounded by your people.

Backyard weddings might be simple in setting, but when you add in the right energy, they become unforgettable.

Jess & Keith✨ A Viking-inspired forest wedding Jess & Keith✨

A Viking-inspired forest wedding in Deep Cove… it was every bit as magical as it sounds. 🌿⚔️✨

They exchanged vows under the trees, surrounded by butterflies, family, and that unmistakable sense of wonder you only get when a day is crafted to reflect exactly who you are.

That’s the beauty of small weddings—less about rules and more about creating an experience that feels authentically you.
