How do you do both photo and video?

I offer both photo and video—or one or the other, depending on what you need. When you book both, you’re getting high-end photography and cinematic video from one creative direction (hi, it’s me). I’ve built a seamless system with my dream team, so nothing gets missed. You get it all without juggling two separate vendors or clashing styles. One vibe, fully cohesive, zero chaos.

What if we're awkward?

Been there, handled that—like, a hundred times. I specialize in capturing couples as they actually are, not forcing awkward poses. I keep it relaxed, fun, and unobtrusive so you and your partner can just...be yourselves. Spoiler: you'll end up saying, “Wait, that was actually really fun.” then, "OMG we look hot!"

Do we get all the raw files?

I totally get the curiosity—but trust me, you don’t want ‘raw’ content. Delivering raw files is like handing over a half-baked cake and saying “good luck.” Part of what makes your photos and film feel so you is the intentional editing, storytelling, and curation.  I do offer documentary films which is all the usable footage in one film with the audio synced. It’s not just what’s captured—it’s how I craft it. I promise: what you get is the good stuff and what doesn't make the cut didn't make it for a reason.

What is your turn around time?

Sneak peeks of your photos land in your inbox within a 3-4 days (because I know you’re dying to post something!). The full gallery and film are typically delivered in 8–12 weeks. I never rush the editing process, but I also won’t leave you hanging. Quality over chaos, always.
