To get the images you love, to create an atmosphere of ease, joy, mood/vibes, and my best place of creation, I require time, space, and freedom to create.
I've been working and collaborating with couples since 2015, and I've seen and learned a lot. And from my own experiences and deep desire to make sure you leave your shoot feeling like a million bucks and for me to know I've created meaningful, heart-felt, honest and artistic photographic representations of your love, here are the 3 guidelines to know if my process is the right fit for your big day:
You have a day full of love and joy; but that doesn't mean that every moment is planned to the second. You have a loose schedule, and your priority is to enjoy the day and go with the flow. You're anit-rushing and don't want to worry about time.
Your want a personal and intimate wedding day experience, and you want to avoid the crowds and expectations of entertaining others. Your focus is each other and the love you're celebrate (and the art we're about to create!) You're not worrying about putting on a show for hundreds of people and want to savor the moments for yourselves.
You love my work and want to make sure we spend the time exploring and creating. You're willing to carve out ample time for creating (at least an hour if not more), and you want to enjoy making the memories you'll be looking at and posting.
You're celebrating the two of you and the love you have. Whether you're getting married, celebrating an anniversary, or just happy to be in each other's lives, your love is worthy of celebration and I'M HERE FOR IT, and I'll make sure to help you prep and get ready. Bring as many outfit changes as you like, and we'll drive around and have a blast. You'll get your images within 7 business days, with sneak peaks immediately after shooting. ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS INCLUDED WITH LOCAL WEDDINGS + ELOPEMENTS
You're wanting an intimate, one-on-one experience with your love, with maybe a few friends and family. Your guest list is less than 30 people, and you're ready to run away to somewhere for just the two of you, maybe even a courthouse. We'll capture the nuptials and have some epics portraits done. Images are delivered within 2 weeks of your elopement, and a complimentary engagement session is added so we can get to know each other and catch vibes.
Whether you're driving to a different state or flying for epic architecture shots in Paris or Venice, or the beaches of Bali and the mountains of Iceland, I've got you covered. My passport is always ready for adventure! I have extensive travel experience within the U.S.A. and all over the globe, and can be a helpful resource in planning and making your dream nuptials happen. To make things simple, I offer packages that already include travel + lodging.

I deliver all of my images via online gallery. You'll get some sneak peaks within 72 hours, with the full gallery 7 days after your pre-wedding shoot, and within 3 weeks after your wedding. You'll receive a personal print release when downloading. I always recommend downloading and saving to another location on the cloud (e.g. Google Photos, Amazon Photos, Dropbox).
In my descriptions, "local" costs are included for anywhere within 3 hours drive from Minneapolis. Farther than that and I do quote additional charges for lodging and extra gas to drive there. If I need to fly to you, the Destination package is the right one for you.
I'm based in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, but can travel anywhere! About 50% of my couples are local, with many located across the United States and celebrating their love in far off international locations. I take on a limited amount of weddings a year, so if you're planning a destination wedding, get in touch with me ASAP so I can quote additional travel charges (read the next question too).
My passion and focus is in still photography, but if you're looking for anyone local, I have a list of vendors I love working with and know will treat you right.
This number varies depending on the numbers of hours of coverage, but for Pre-Wedding sessions I say a minimum of 40 images, with Elopements starting at 100, and full weddings starting at 600. I always deliver more if I can!
Absofuckinlutely. We'll meet in-person for shooting, but if you have a pre-wedding session or an elopement session and you're local or around Minneapolis, I'm always down to get coffee or even do a Zoom meeting.
