The first day of the rest of your life
Treasure these moments forever.
Your wedding will be one of the most important and memorable days of your life. Choosing the right professional to capture your day is such a crucial decision so I want you to know that I don’t take the responsibility lightly. To me, wedding photography is a collaboration between myself and the couple, which means I will do as much as you need in terms of finding locations, setting the poses and finding the perfect light. BUT I also want you to feel comfortable and to enjoy the photos when your day is over, so I’m open to comments, questions, suggestions and more! While I put my all into creating magical photos for you, they are ultimately YOUR photos that you’ll look back on for decades, so I want you to be able to authentically see yourselves in the photos. Let’s start a conversation to find out if we’ll make a great team!
The Proposal
I would love to be there at the very beginning of your love story! I’ll hide in the bushes, go undercover, stand on a balcony - whatever you need me to do to capture you as you ask the person of your dreams for their hand in marriage!
Kraft Azalea in Winter Park is one popular spot for proposals and on more than one occasion I have pretended to be bird watching while waiting for my couples to arrive! Or we can set up a family portrait session or birthday photo session, and you can surprise your future spouse as one of the “poses” in the session.
My proposal packages start with one hour of photography time, which means we can also do some posed portraits during your time as well! And if you’d like to make it a hybrid photo/video session, that’s available, too.
Engagement Photos
Engagement sessions are a great opportunity for us to get to know one another a little bit better and get out all of the photography jitters before the big day! Plus, engagement photos make great save-the-date cards and can be the perfect finishing touch to your wedding day decor!
Depending on your venue and their rules, we can consider doing your engagement photos there. We can also visit popular parks like Leu Gardens or Cypress Grove Park in Orlando or Mead Gardens in Winter Park. We can also opt for more of an architecture look and do photos on Plant Street in Winter Garden, on Park Ave in Winter Park or even in Celebration. OR we can go somewhere that’s really meaningful to the two of you! It just depends on what story you’d like to tell with your engagement photos and how you’ll be using them.
Engagement sessions can be booked separately or can be added to your wedding package. Hybrid photo & video sessions are available for engagement sessions.
Elopements & Intimate Weddings
From civic ceremonies at the Orange County Courthouse to small family backyard weddings and everything in between, I am ready to photograph your wedding celebration from start to finish.
Elopement and Intimate Wedding packages can include up to four hours of photography time. If you are doing a courthouse wedding, then we can meet at your appointment time for the civic ceremony and take newlywed photos (or even family photos if you have guests with you!) near the courthouse afterwards.
Or maybe you’re planning to use one of the local outdoor elopement locations like the Art & History Museum in Maitland, Kraft Azalea in Winter Park or Cherie Down Park at Cocoa Beach - they are beautiful locations that will give us so many choices for beautiful candids and posed portraits of you and your spouse. And if you need help finding an officiant, I know several who would love to work with you!
But perhaps you’re having a more traditional-style wedding but just are only looking for photography (and possibly videography) for the key moments - ceremony, family and newlywed portraits and the reception formalities like first dance and cake cutting. An intimate wedding package would be a perfect fit for you!
Wedding Photography
A full wedding day is a huge endeavor! You have to start hours before the ceremony with hair and makeup, getting dressed or maybe even setting up parts of your day. There are so many details to keep track of, even if you’ve hired a planner and coordinator, so I’ll be there to help! We’ll meet before your wedding to confirm your timeline and photo wish list, as well as develop the list of family photo combinations that are most important to you. We’ll talk about the spots at your venue that we’ll use for the first look or newlywed photos and where we’ll go for sunset photos after dinner. And I’ll keep track of all of it as the day goes on to gently guide you and your spouse through your perfect day! And don’t worry, I’m an expert at wrangling wedding parties and families for those group photos.
My wedding photography services are available in the entire Central Florida area, including Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Windermere, Kissimmee, Lakeland, Tampa, St. Pete, Deland, Orange City, Cocoa Beach, and Daytona Beach and everything in between. I also am available for worldwide travel with additional travel fees applied.
I can’t wait to hear about all of your wedding day dreams!
Wedding Videography & Content Creation
While my first love is photography, I cannot deny that there is something so magical in seeing those precious moments fluidly play out frame by frame. Which is why we are offer TWO different options for capturing video during your wedding day.
Traditional wedding videography is a long-form end product filmed on horizontally on multiple cameras. The final film will be edited together and will showcase key moments from the wedding set to background music. It might also include your vows or other sentimental audio from the day. There is the option to add on full documentation (audio and video) of the full ceremony and/or toasts.
Content creation includes short video clips filmed vertically on a phone. The clips are delivered to you within 24 hours so that you can create your own memorable reels or tik tok videos from your wedding day! Plus it’s a great way to get content back immediately to ease the wait of editing your photos or traditional wedding video.
