Weddings + Elopements
my portfolio.
your experience.
My job as your wedding photographer is to romanticize every aspect of your wedding day so when you look back on your wedding photos you get misty eyed all over again.
how i capture your day:
I. Book the date.
After you submit your inquiry with me, you'll be invited to hop on a quick zoom call where we can chat "face to face" and get to know each other. Once all the details are squared away you'll sign your contract and pay your retainer. After that you're officially booked! I'll keep tabs through the entire wedding planning process & help plan as the day approaches.
II. Take photos.
Once the wedding day arrives my team and I will know exactly what to do. I plan out every minute of the day so you never have to worry about fitting something in last minute, my timeline has you covered. We'll be there to preserve your memories, tear up the dance floor, and maybe even steal a slice of cake.
III. Deliver memories.
24 - 48 hours after you say your final goodbye to your wedding, I'll deliver a little teaser of photos to hold you over until the full gallery is ready. Most galleries take 6-8 weeks but I do try to have them done in 4-6 weeks when I can. Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait.
FAQ
What do you shoot besides weddings and elopements?
Besides weddings and elopements, I also shoot couples photos, senior photos, & maternity photos!
do you always have a second shooter with you?
Yes! Someone from my amazing second shooter team will always be with me! Having a second shooter allows me to give you more time and attention and makes the day go so much smoother! Travel prices include my second shooter's travel as well!
How do you keep my photos safe?
Preserving your memories is a top priority for me! During your day my team and I shoot on several different SD cards so in case something bad happens, the whole day is not lost. As soon as your day is over, I store every single image on a secure hard drive and on an online server so you never have to worry about losing your most precious memories!
Do you retouch my photos?
Yes and no. I will always look for small imperfections in the images and remove anything that is distracting from the photo. As a general rule of thumb, if it won't be there in 2 weeks, I edit it out! (Bye to the random stress pimple that popped up on wedding week!)
I will never retouch anyone's body! I always prefer to pose you in a way that makes you feel confident in your own skin without photoshop-ing you to be something different!
We've never had professional photos done, will you pose us?
Don't worry about it!! I'll guide you through prompts and poses the entire time! My style is fun and light so be prepared to laugh and be yourself!
How many photos will i receive and how long will it take to get them back?
I provide the minimum number of photos you will receive with my pricing but I generally choose not to cap the amount! You can usually expect some extra photos!
I deliver wedding photos back in 6-8 weeks and session photos back in 2-4 weeks. I also send you a teaser of 5-10 images 24-48 hours after your session!

"We are so so so in love with our photos. We had such a hard time choosing ones to print and hang in our forever home! We are so thankful for the work Sydney and her team did during our traditional tea ceremony and our full wedding day! We are so happy with our photos!"
