Planning Your Wedding Day and Beyond

You’re exactly where you need to be.

Planning a wedding is a lot all at once. I built this page to be the thing I wish I could hand every couple I meet. Picking a date, choosing a venue, finding a photographer who actually fits you, building a timeline that holds together. It's all here, in roughly the order you'll need it.

Before You Book Your Photographer

Here’s what sets this journey apart from the rest..

Experience photography built on care, connection, and kindness. I work with couples who value meaning over perfection and want to feel truly seen. This isn’t just about photos it’s about creating space for real moments to unfold naturally. Want to know what that feels like? See what my couples have shared below.

A Kinder Experience

How are we different?

Your photographer is with you from getting ready in the morning to the last dance at night. They're closer to you on the day than almost anyone except your partner. Pick someone whose energy you actually like being around. A thousand pretty photos don't matter if the person behind the camera never noticed who you are.

Why the Right Photographer Changes Everything

What Actually Matters on Your Wedding Day

If you care more about connection than perfection

Everything in this guide reflects what truly matters to me: creating space where you can be yourselves, feel supported, and have your story documented in a way that feels honest. No stiff poses or forced smiles, just real moments that reflect your connection and everything you value most.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, take your time exploring the resources below. They’re packed with tips and care, all to help you feel ready and confident.
