Here's how this works
Let's get you from “we just got engaged!” to “we can’t stop staring at our photos.”
1. Get In Touch
Fill out my contact form and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours - usually sooner. If I’m available for your date, I’ll send over my pricing info and details. Want to hop on a quick call to talk through your vision or ask a few questions face-to-face? Totally optional, but always available.
2. Secure your date
Once you’ve chosen the coverage that fits your day, I’ll send over the contract and retainer info to make things official. If you’ve booked an engagement session too, we’ll get that on the calendar whenever you're ready. From there, you're all set - and the fun can begin.
3. Wedding Prep
As we get closer to the big day, I’ll send over a questionnaire to gather all the good stuff: timeline notes, family photo lists, and anything else you want me to know. I’ll also work with your planner or coordinator to make sure we're on the same page and everything runs smoothly.
4. Celebrate
The big day has finally arrived! You soak it all in, I’ll document the hell out of it. You'll get sneak peeks shortly after, and your full gallery will land in your inbox within 30 days. All your images will be high-res and ready to download, print, post, or just stare at for hours.

FAQ's
What areas do you serve?
I'm based in Sonoma and photograph weddings all over California - including Napa, San Francisco, and the Bay Area - as well as Arizona, with a focus on Phoenix and Scottsdale. I don't charge any travel fees for weddings in these areas.
Do you travel?
Heck yes I do - traveling while doing what I love is kind of the best thing ever. I take on a limited number of out-of-state weddings each year. My travel fees are super reasonable - just enough to get me there and keep me caffeinated.
How soon should we book?
So glad you're here! For the best chance of availability, I recommend reaching out 9-12 months before your wedding date. The earlier, the better - especially for fall dates, which tend to go fast.
Do you shoot film?
I do! I'm a hybrid photographer, which means I use digital and film - 35mm, medium format, even the occasional disposable camera. Depending on the vibe and your vision, I'll mix them in to add texture and character if that's something that interests you!
What if we're awkward in photos?
Most of the couples you see on my site felt the exact same way - and I think they look pretty damn good. Feeling awkward usually comes from not knowing what to do, which is exactly why I give tons of direction. Don't worry - I'll guide you.
Who is your second photographer?
I hire from a small group of trusted, talented photographer friends - people who match my style, energy, and professionalism. You're in good hands, even when I'm not the one clicking the shutter.
How many photos will we receive?
You’ll get around 60–90 edited photos per hour of coverage - so for an 8-hour wedding, that’s typically around 500–700 images. Every wedding is different in size and nature, but rest assured I deliver everything that’s relevant, meaningful, and beautiful.
Do you offer drone photography?
Yes! I can coordinate drone coverage as an optional add-on. I work with trusted professionals so you get stunning aerial shots - without me juggling a drone and a camera at the same time.
Do you offer prints and albums?
Your gallery is connected to a professional print lab for easy ordering of high-quality prints. For albums, I’m happy to recommend high-quality companies that let you design your own with simple drag-and-drop tools, or I can create a custom one for you.
Are you insured?
Absolutely. I carry full liability insurance, and if your venue requires proof of coverage, I’m happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and sign any vendor agreements they need. Peace of mind? Check.
