As an Alabama wedding photographer who also travels for destination weddings, I’ve worked with so many brides who have similar fears before our consult call. Planning a wedding comes with so many decisions—timelines, locations, details, vendors. And if you’re anything like the brides I work with, you’re not just checking boxes. You’re trying to create something true to you—something sacred, emotional, and timeless.
But in the middle of all the planning, I hear the same fears come up again and again:
🕊️ You don’t want to forget how it felt.
Not just what the florals looked like or how your dress moved—
but how your mom looked at you during bridal prep.
The lump in your throat during vows.
The hush right before you walked down the aisle.
As a wedding photographer who captures both film and digital, I know the power of slowing down. I’m not just taking pretty pictures—I’m preserving moments that matter.
This is where my calm, intuitive presence comes in.
I document the energy of the day, not just the timeline.
I blend soft direction with quiet observation—so the real, unscripted moments never get missed.
Because emotional wedding photos are about more than angles and light.
They’re about presence.
📸 “We’re so awkward in front of the camera…”
Let’s talk about one of the biggest fears I hear from couples:
“We’ve never done this before. What if we look awkward?”
That’s why I include engagement sessions in every wedding photography experience.
It’s not just about checking off a box—it’s about building trust, confidence, and connection before your wedding day.
During your session:
- You’ll learn how I guide—naturally, gently, with direction that feels authentic.
- I’ll learn how you interact—what makes you laugh, relax, and feel safe.
- You’ll experience what it’s like to be photographed without pressure.
By the time your wedding comes around, you won’t feel awkward or unsure.
You’ll feel ready—and that ease shows in every single frame.
This is how you get candid and posed wedding photography that looks effortless and feels natural.
💍 You want luxury—but you want it to mean something.
You love a fine veil shot. Heirloom details. The editorial energy of 35mm film.
But you’re not interested in trends or flashiness.
You’re looking for luxury wedding photography that feels intimate, intentional, and emotionally true.
Here’s what that looks like with me:
- A blend of film and digital wedding photography tailored to each moment.
- Artful images that reflect the stillness, joy, and beauty of the day.
- A storytelling approach that values connection over performance.
Luxury isn’t about how loud it looks.
It’s about how deeply it’s felt.
🤍 You want to trust your photographer completely.
You’re making a thousand decisions. You’re managing vendors, timelines, and tiny details.
You don’t want to manage your photographer too.
That’s where I come in.
From the moment you inquire, I guide the process with care, clarity, and calm.
You’ll receive:
- A custom timeline designed around your story, light, and energy
- Expert guidance on portraits, posing, and pacing
- Emotional support on the day—because yes, I’ll fix your veil and hand you tissues
You’ll know exactly what to expect, and you’ll never have to wonder, “Did she get the shot?”
Because I did. And so much more.
🎞️ You don’t have to choose.
You don’t have to pick between:
- Candid or posed
- Film or digital
- Style or substance
- Pretty or personal
With me, you get all of it.
A wedding photography experience that feels peaceful, guided, and beautifully you.
And when the day is done, you’ll have a gallery that reflects not just how everything looked—but how it felt to be there.
