Pittsburgh + Worldwide
Wedding collections tailored to your vision.
Your vision.
As a photographer, it is both a joy and honor to make your vision become a reality. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of your wedding gallery, my goal is to understand your unique vision and translate it into timeless images that capture the essence of one of the biggest days of your lives. By listening closely to your ideas, preferences, and dreams, my goal is to seamlessly blend artistic expression with your unique love story.
My process.
Capturing the joy and emotion of a wedding day is not just my job; it is my heartfelt mission. It begins with understanding a couple's story, their vision for the day, and detailed planning. On the wedding day, you can find me anticipating every smile, tear, and embrace. Through a mix of candid photos and thoughtfully arranged portraits, I strive to capture the real emotions shared between the couple, their families, and friends. From the sweet exchange of vows to the lively celebrations on the dance floor, my goal is to preserve the feelings of the day, allowing the magic of those moments to be relived and cherished for generations to come.
What’s included in my most popular wedding collections?
-
All galleries include an online, password protected gallery and printing rights, allowing couples to easily share their wedding day memories with any friends and family they choose. The gallery offers access to a professional printing lab, though couples are not required to order prints through the gallery.
-
I know you will be dying to see photos, and so will I! Working on preview photos after a wedding day is always fun and exciting for me. You can expect a minimum of 10 sneak peeks within 72 hours of your wedding day!
-
No idea where to start with laying out the timing of your day? I know there are so many decisions, and I know it can all be a little overwhelming. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. From booking to the big day, I am here to answer any timeline questions you may have along the way, whether they be simple or more complex. All collections include a detailed timeline meeting that will take place about a month before the wedding day.
-
Several of my wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session! Why complimentary? I believe there is a huge benefit to doing an engagement session with the same photog who will be there to capture your wedding day. It helps you get used to how I work and shoot, familiarizes you with being in front of the camera (so you can see it’s not so scary or awkward), and best of all, it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other more before the wedding day!
-
My most common wedding collections include two photographers—myself and an assistant. This helps especially when we need to be in two different locations, and for capturing a variety of angles during ceremonies. Particularly for medium to large weddings, there are many benefits to having two photographers.
-
You can expect 600+ photos from your wedding day. My average wedding gallery is around 800 photos, depending on the amount of coverage and some other factors. I do not deliver a set number of photos— I deliver as many photos as I feel fully captures and tells the story of the day.
-
My favorite part of my job is that when you hire me as your photographer, you are choosing to trust me to document one of the biggest days of your lives. That is not something I take lightly. And to do my job well, that means fully understanding who you are as a couple and your vision. By the time your wedding day comes, I hope I feel like more than a vendor. And beyond that, I hope I get to stick around to capture the other big milestones in your lives that lie ahead— both as your photographer and as your friend.
Love captured from coast to coast.

My turnaround time for full wedding galleries is 8-12 weeks, and I always provide 10+ sneak peeks within 72 hours of the wedding.
-
Of course! I will guide you every step of the way, and I promise it won’t be as awkward as you may be imagining. I can even guarantee it will be FUN! I love using prompts to get you naturally interacting and connecting with each other. You do not need to come prepared to pose yourselves whatsoever!

I started my business in 2013, and shot my first solo wedding in 2014! I’ve lost count at this point, but I have shot well over a hundred weddings and counting.
-
I am a Canon girl! I currently shoot with two Canon R6s, and my go-to lenses are my 35mm, 28-70mm, 85mm, and 70-200mm.
-
I do not! Having my own unique style is a big part of my art. You can expect your photos to be edited in the same style you see on my website and on Instagram. I have my own preset I have curated through the years so that my style is consistent. Your gallery will also come with hand selected black and white copies of some of your images.
-
As most other photographers would say— I am sorry, but the answer will always be no! My finished product is my art, and I do not share my work before it is complete (minus maybe a few peeks of the back of my camera when I get excited to show you 😉). My images are important to me because I am so passionate about what I do, and I feel that it is vital to be comfortable with the editing style of the photographer you choose.
-
I use my own discretion, and will often edit out things that I feel distract from the photo. I do not do any major Photoshop work, but will eliminate minor things as necessary. If there is a specific request to eliminate something, depending on the amount of work or photos there may be an additional fee.
-
I do minor skin retouching when it is noticeable or distracting at no charge. More involved retouching (such as with tan lines or tattoos) may require an additional fee.
The Investment
I understand the importance of preserving the beauty and emotion of your wedding day, and I would love to be the one to capture every smile, every tear, and every little detail that makes your day unique. And I get it—choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision.
By investing in photography with me, you are not just getting photographs – you are investing in a story. My goal is that the images will transport you back to the magic of your wedding day, allowing you to relive those special moments over and over again. Couples invest an average of $5-6k on their wedding photography with me.
