You're looking for someone who has spent years developing a rich, warm style of photography that turns candid moments into art that looks like you've stepped out of a magazine spread.
MY Promise AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS TO CAPTURE YOUR DAY True TO YOU
My passion lies in creating photographs that document all these moments with a timeless aesthetic that lives beyond the wedding day. My style of wedding photography is real and intentional with a twist of fashion — think Vogue-meets-photojournalism.
DOING THE JOB Right, SO YOU CAN Relive THE NIGHT
"WE WERE LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE, SOMEONE WHO WOULD MAKE US FEEL Comfortable, AND CAPTURE THE Candid & Unposed MOMENTS. TAMMI MET - SCRATCH THAT - Exceeded ALL THIS CRITERIA." - EMILY & JOEY
CANDID DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN Unpolished AND HIGH-END DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN Posed.
Relive not just how it looks, but how it all felt
We can tell the story of your wedding day, complete with all its most powerful emotions, while also creating artistic portraits inspired by light, intimacy, and human connection.

a live client review
It all starts with an initial inquiry to start the conversation. I would love to hear from you! The best thing I can create with clients is a connection and I would love to chat with you about your day. If the photographs you've seen here resonate with you, fill out the contact form, and let’s set up a time to talk on the phone so I can hear more about you, your partner, and your wedding vision. Hearing someone's voice on the phone beats reading a screen. I value connection and relationships and it all starts right here.
01. INQUIRY
After the phone call, I'll create a custom investment guide and deliver it to your inbox at a time that's most convenient for you. You'll choose which collection you'd like by clicking the box in the guide and hitting submit. A proposal with the contract and invoice will then be sent within 24 hours of submitting your selection.
02. INVESTMENT GUIDE & PROPOSAL
Leading up to your wedding, we will chat several times via email so that I can gather some information about you and your partner. I'll send questionnaires and guides to ensure we are aware of all the details. We'll discuss all the logistics and I'll be here to help in any way possible. More importantly, this is where I get to know you both a little better, take a peek into your lives to discover what inspires you, what's most important to you, what draws you to each other, and what you're most excited about for not just the wedding, but your marriage.
03. DISCOVERY
If you have chosen to add an engagement session to your wedding collection, I recommend scheduling your session right away as my calendar fills up quickly. I offer regular sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays only, as weekends are reserved for weddings. Engagement sessions are a great opportunity for us to meet, get to know each other better, and get you familiarized with being in front of the camera. Engagement sessions are heartfelt and playful, focusing on who you are in this moment and the connection between you two, embracing the unposed and imperfect moments.
04. ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I do all location scouting prior to my start time. We have done the prep beforehand so that come wedding day, you have full trust that everything meaningful to you will be documented. I will move in and out of the scene. I will be there when you need me for a bit of direction, but I will also be a fly on the wall to blend in and not be intrusive. I'm attentive and know how to read the room, taking in the mood, the overall feel, and always ready for all the planned and unplanned moments. I will be your advocate for the day and believe the most important thing for my clients is to be fully present and enjoy their day. You have poured so much love, time, and energy in planning and dreaming up your wedding down to every single detail.
05. EXECUTION
I deliver sneak peeks within 72 hours of your wedding so that you don't have to share a blurry iPhone photo taken from Aunt Susan in the third row. It's also a great way to share the images I send with your family and friends who couldn't be there! I send this to you via text or IG DM, so you don't even have to worry about downloading from the gallery yet! You can expect to receive your final online gallery of the images in approximately 6-8 weeks after the wedding day. The amount of a completed gallery of images from a wedding always varies based on the day and events that occurred during the event, but generally, you can expect 75-100 images per hour of shooting. You’ll also have the option to invest in a legacy wedding album or you'll receive a design proof if you have already chosen to add on an album.
