PHOTOS ARE AN INVESTMENT.

One of my biggest take-aways from planning my own wedding? The things I expected to be simple or easy to pick and plan, ended up being a headache! And the things that I maybe procrastinated on because they seemed daunting, ended up snapping into place effortlessly after I tackled them.

You are flooded with a beautiful (sometimes overwhelming) array of options everyday. I 100% understand that soooo many things come into play when selecting a photographer!

-Does their style match yours?

-Do your dates line up?

-After chatting, do you get along? (Cannot emphasize how important this is)

-And then the big question, do they fit in your budget???

So let's talk about that "budget" thing, and my humble recommendation on approaching it. 

In the lineup of things that go into a wedding day, prioritizing what’s most important to you absolutely coincides with how how you budget. I knew that my photos were the first thing I wanted to "invest in". After my flowers had died and my dress was retired to a hanger in the back of my closet, my photos would be the thing that would hang around... literally. 

Don't pick your photographer based on price… or at least don't choose your photographer based on pricing alone.

There are a TON of photographers out there, so please! For all our sakes? Take your time, find someone you not only like, but LOVE. Because I love every single one of my clients, and that is a critical part of everything I do.

But seriously.

As you are planning, remember that when you look back on these photos, in the years to come, you are going to re-live everything about that moment.

WE ARE DOCUMENTING. MAKE YOUR DETAILS AS UNIQUE AS YOU ARE.

Bucket list.

This is my list of places that I would love to experience shooting. I am offering discounted packages to couples that would like to bring me along to any of these places! Travel is the thing that makes my heart the happiest, and documenting stories along the way is one of my favorite things. If your dream shoot/wedding day matches up with any of these, let’s make it happen!
