Journalistic Destination Wedding Photography & Portraits
Documenting Your Story, Your Emotions, Your World
It is an honor and privilege to photograph a wedding
I have been a wedding photographer for over 16 years and worked with hundreds of couples, families, venues, vendors and schedules. I have learned that weddings, like Life, are “all about the people” and your commitment to one person on your wedding day says so much. Our brief time on this planet revolves around people, relationships and making memories. My job on your wedding day is to corral all these memories for you with all my years of experience.

Wedding Photography
My photography style is journalistic, honest, and timeless. I don’t create photos by directing people to do unnatural things. People are unique, and it’s best to show them in their best light, being authentic and themselves.
My style honors you and your guests by letting them go through this special day their way… with joy, laughter, tears, emotion, and other blessed moments. Your guests often won’t know my camera is there; I “keep it real” in the most flattering way.
As your photographer, it is my mission to deliver more than just a stack of photographs. I believe your wedding photos should tell a story, the story of your wedding day. When you first see the photographs I capture, you will get to relive your entire wedding day, from the perspective of your guests — and most importantly those cherished moments you missed because you were living in your most precious moment.
Sadly, over time, our memories may fade. I have the gift of capturing your day with such emotion, that every time you sit down with your album, you can step back into time and relive that amazing day.
Since 2004, weddings have taken me around the world to photograph some my favorite people. Because clients become my friends and weddings are such personal experiences, delivering photos is one of the best parts of my “job.” I am grateful, fortunate, and humbled to do what I do.
Legacy & Parent Albums
Nothing beats a beautiful print and a handcrafted album for viewing photography. This is why I offer heirloom-quality wedding albums with select customizations.
A finely crafted book of your wedding story told with every turn of a page is powerful. Designing and purchasing it now also gets your album in completed form — something clients often never get around to finishing themselves otherwise. An album will make your wedding tangible and available for everyone to see. It may very well be your first family heirloom.
Our albums are custom designed, and feature thick page stock, leather or linen covers, personalization and multiple size options. They are built to impress and last for generations.
Portrait Sessions
Portrait sessions before your big day are a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of my camera and test the waters with any wedding photographer. They also provide you with a collection of photos that capture how happy and excited you are for your future together.
Sessions typically last 1 hour. We will go to a few locations that are significant to you. Perhaps this is where you first met, where you love to hang out, or even at your home. These photos are typically delivered within 45 days.
I believe
Your wedding photographer is your historian and an ally.
It is important you find the photographer that is perfect for you.
I am blessed to get to do this for a living.
Common Questions
Destination Wedding Photography Details & Information
Do you travel for weddings or portrait shoots, and how much are your travel fees?
I have photographed weddings all over the world. Destination weddings are something I am known for and quite comfortable with. Travel fees fluctuate based on your location and where I am coming from.
Can I read reviews from your past clients?
Do you shoot alone or with a second photographer?
If you expect more than 50 guests, I’ll bring one of my skilled and trusted 2nd photographers to cover more angles and gather more moments. It’s a smart investment.
Can we schedule extra photo shoots with you while we’re traveling?
Absolutely. I have yet to see a client regret adding a photo session. Here are a few reasons:
- We’ll find once-in-a-lifetime backdrops that you can’t find at home.
- Less pressure than the wedding day
- Adding these photos adds a personal chapter to your wedding journey that goes beyond the formal photography.
- It’s a chance to wear your outfits again (YAY! right?)
- These photos can be perfect for including in thank you cards, social media and enhancing your wedding album.
- Above all, the photo shoot itself can become a treasured memory. It’s a shared adventure as a couple, capturing your love in an exciting or meaningful location—something you’ll never forget.
What happens if we need more time on our wedding day, can you stay longer?
My pricing is structured so time can be added if needed. I always confirm it is ok to leave and will stay as long as you like.
Who owns the photos?
Legally, I retain the copyright which allows me to use the photos for marketing purposes.
However you will have unlimited “personal use” which allows you to make prints with your own vendor or at home. You cannot use the photos for commercial purposes.
Will we receive high-resolution files?
You will receive all edited photos as high-res and lo-res jpegs, without watermarks.
All photos are delivered as a digital download for you to print wherever you’d like.
Do you offer wedding albums?
Yes and they are beautiful. You can see a few preview images on the page, above, and if you contact me I can give you additional information about your options.
