Thank you for joining my newsletter! I’m thrilled to have you here as I share my recent work, behind-the-scenes updates, and insights to inspire your wedding journey.

 

Recent Work: Proposals & Branding, & Engagement

 

Back in December, I had the honor of photographing and filming three truly amazing proposals. This was my first time having the privilege of capturing someone’s proposal. If I had to use one word to describe the experience, “thrilling” would be the obvious choice. There’s nothing like witnessing the pure joy and emotion in that moment.


For the third, I had the unique opportunity to film while collaborating with Matthew, a photographer friend, to capture stills that beautifully complemented the video for the groom-to-be.

I also had the wonderful opportunity of doing a branding session for Matthew’s new photography business he’s starting!

Lastly, Lottie and Dakota, the couple from the first proposal, were quick to schedule their engagement session for January 11th.

What I’ve Been Working On: Pricing Package PDFs

 

I’m excited to share something new I’ve been working on—refined wedding photography and filmmaking packages! Transparency is key when couples are choosing their wedding vendors. The more I realized this, the more I knew I needed to improve the way I was presenting my packages. My updated pricing guides are designed to clearly outline how I can make your day extra special.


If you’d like to see my updated packages or have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to share them with you!

 

Giving Attention to Proposals & Engagement Sessions

 

With high end wedding photographers, proposals and engagement sessions are easily overlooked. The extravagance of a luxury wedding often seems to outshine the emotion of a proposal or the intimate moments during an engagement photo session.


I find these to be incredible opportunities to connect with my couples before their wedding day. Instead of only doing a few video calls and showing up on the wedding day, I find it so much more fulfilling to capture their entire journey. Proposal → Engagement → Marriage. It allows us to build more of a relationship, which then allows for better photos and films of the weddings because I understand them just that much more.


So, instead of booking me just for your wedding, let’s capture the entire story and connect a bit more. Plus, couples who book a wedding package receive a discount on their engagement session!
