Wedding photography is so much more than images, it is a real and big part of your wedding day story, and the journey leading up to your big day! I consider it a true honor to be welcomed into the lives of my clients-turned-friends, to learn their love story and tell it in the best way I know how, to share in their joy, and to celebrate alongside of them as they make this amazing marriage commitment!

Once I receive your initial wedding inquiry via email, I will reply back with a PDF guide that has all the information you need on the experience, collections, pricing etc. At that time, I’ll also ask you a few questions about your wedding plans! If you'd like, we can also schedule a phone call or coffee date to further discuss your wishes for your wedding day.

Once a wedding package, date/time, location, etc. is selected, we'll make things official with a signed contract and paid retainer. An online program (Honeybook) is utilized so that the contract can be signed electronically, invoices paid, questionnaires completed, etc.

As a welcome gift, I have something special for you! Each of my brides receive access to my online exclusive Bridal Guide! Designed and created with all the best advice, tips + tricks, do’s + don’ts, plus so much more! This was created to help you have the best possible photography experience, as well as help you navigate the wonderful world of planning your wedding!

*Free with the Premier or Royal Wedding Package*
We will work together to find the perfect location that fits you two best! Then we will spend about an hour and a half together getting to know one another better, and documenting your love story! I’ll spend our first few minutes breaking down my “posing” system, and movement based prompts, and before you know it, you’ll be rocking what it means to be natural in front of the camera!

Soon after your engagement session, a little sneak peek of your images will hit social media! From there, your full engagement gallery will be delivered in 2-4 weeks.

Around the 4-month out mark (or sooner), I’ll be in touch with you to chat about your day-of wedding details! This info (questionnaire & shot list) sets me up for success with all info I’ll need in order to create a perfect customized wedding photography timeline for you! This is a huge help to mapping out each section of your day and ensuring that you, your bridal party, your families and even your other vendors are all on the same page. If you choose to hire a wedding planner/coordinator (great choice to do so!!) — they too will create a timeline for you, though theirs isn’t only about photography and generally covers your entire day start to finish. I will absolutely work with your planner/coordinator to ensure that my photography timeline and their master timeline align well — resulting in a stress-free day for you and your love!!

Your wedding day arrives, and it's the best day ever! Your wedding is documented in a storytelling way, and it'll be your best story yet!!

Soon after your wedding, I’ll be busy editing working to ensure every image in your final image collection is perfect — delivering your full gallery in approx. 3-6 weeks.

I'm located in Northeast Missouri. I cover primarily Missouri and SE Iowa. Mileage is included within 30 miles of Downing, MO (60 miles round-trip) | .54 cents/mile after 60 miles.

Full wedding days are the primary, but I also LOVE photographing quick, intimate weddings. Contact me for a personalized quote! Wedding coverage starts at $300 and hour.

You certainly don't have to, but if possible, I suggest you try to! That time together allows us to get to know one another better, it helps you guys to grow comfortable in front of my camera, and it helps me to understand how much, or how little direction you guys need. Plus, bonus! — You'll end up with a gorgeous variety of images!

Definitely, yes! I love when my couples have a unique place in mind, but I can absolutely offer up suggestions too! If you are a NE Missouri bride, you’ll have access to a location directory I have created!

You will receive 50-100 edited, digital images per shooting hour. For example, if your select 4 hours of coverage, you will receive 200-400 edited, digital images.

It is part of my job to sort through and pick the very best of the best with your images! Any images that don't make the final cut are not edited, saved, or delivered. At no time are those, or any RAW files available for viewing!

For all sessions and weddings alike, I utilize social media like Instagram and Facebook to post sneak peeks soon after our time together! Final image collections are delivered in approximately 3-6 weeks for weddings, and in approximately 2-4 weeks for all other sessions.

You will receive your digital images through an online gallery (Pixieset). Once you have access to your gallery you can download your images to your computer, share images on social media, and order prints.

*Prints are not included in the package price. Prints will be ordered separately from your online gallery or a lab of your choice using the provided print release.
