A Love Letter

You're here! That means you're *hopefully* starting to let yourself daydream about what it could possibly look like if we were to do this wedding thing together. It's so important to me that you & your lover are comfortable being comfortable in front of me. 
That's my #1 priority.

 Something you need to know before we commit to each other: You don’t have to be eloping across the globe for me to be excited about celebrating your love. I’ll shed as many tears during your backyard ceremony as I would watching you say “I do” hillside in Tuscany.
 You deserve more than just photos—you deserve moments. Moments you forgot about, moments you didn't notice, moments that you never want to forget. I want you to look back at your photos and feel the rush of emotions hit you like a ton of bricks.

To me, it’s less about getting that one incredible Instagram worthy photo, and more about leaving you with hundreds of your moments. I also value fun. I want you to have a damn good time at your wedding, just as much as I want to have a damn good time at your wedding.
 My “ideal client” doesn’t look a certain way. I’m not desperately seeking certain skin tones or hair colors or body types. My ideal clients don’t have to fly me across the world for me to want to be their photographer. But they do have to be kind, understanding, and willing to go with the flow of their day. They have to trust me. Wedding days are rarely perfect, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a perfect wedding day.
 I want to give you an experience. If you’re just looking for someone to stop by your ceremony and start shooting, shopping around for the cheapest deal, or just trying to check "photographer" off of your long list of wedding to-do's, we may not be a good fit. And that's okay. There is someone for everyone, and I want you to find your perfect photographer.
 

 It’s important to me that you know what I value. Honesty, rawness, vulnerability…all of these things are key ingredients that make up my "why." 

However, if you don't mind straying from tradition, uninterrupted love is what gets you goin', and you're fine with me getting down on the dance floor with your little cousins, we'll be best friends in no time. If you hire me, you aren't just investing in a service. You're investing in a human being. You're putting your trust and love into me. Into whoever you're deciding to hire to capture a split second of your ever-changing life. That's...huge. Do your research. Ask questions. Get to know the human person behind the expensive piece of metal.
 This is me. I love to read and write and paint. I'm a dumb ol' hopeless romantic and I cry every time I watch Call Me By Your Name. The Office is the best thing ever and I don't drink coffee. I love love. Every kind of love. The "I wanna pay for the person behind me in the Starbucks drive thru" kinda love, and the "I'm gonna buy you this really expensive rock to wear on your finger just to show you I wanna be your person forever and ever" kinda love. I'm so sarcastic, sometimes even I don't know when I'm being serious or not.
 Basically, what I'm trying to say is get to know me. Vibe with me. Let's laugh about something before we discuss pricing or dates or whatever else. My dream clients are the awesome couples who can laugh at themselves, let loose on their big day, value good work, and trust me to deliver them the most raw, genuine wedding memories that bring back allllll the emotions from their big day. I want to capture the love and passion between you and your person, because weeks and months and years from now, your wedding photos are the only tangible memories that you will have from your wedding day. So...

 Are you hopelessly in love? Do you value good work? What are we waiting for?
