WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
MY GOAL AT EVERY WEDDING IS TO CREATE IMAGES THAT...
I want your photos to evoke a stillness within you. A softness. A calmness. A sense of being held by your lover. A sense of feeling grounded by the earth. I want your gallery to give you a light flutter in your chest, to take your breath away. And every time you look at them hanging on your wall, you’re reminded to pause for a moment. You’re reminded that you are loved. You’re reminded of all the people and places you love too.

One of the things I offer my couples is more than just beautiful photos. Because that's the least you should expect from your wedding photographer. I've been photographing weddings across the Southwest for 7 years and I've had my own wedding. So I understand how much goes into planning and I know exactly what it takes to have a stress-free weekend. That's why I provide my couples with a Wedding Guide full of tips, vendor recs, and inspiration. And for my Zion couples, I also provide my Zion Wedding Guide that goes over permits, shuttle info, and location options. I've spent years location scouting Southern Utah and have put together a curated Location Guide that goes over all my favorite spots in the area so you can choose the best spot for your session based on accessibility, time of day, and permits.
I also offer itinerary assistance if you need help crafting the best timeline for your wedding day. My goal is to help you enjoy being engaged and give you timeless photos to look back on, shared with all the people you love.
For the couples who value peace as you plan this adventure.

the FAQs
Do you double as a wedding planner?
Short answer: no, I am not a wedding planner or coordinator. My sole job is that of a photographer, however I do have lots of knowledge and experience in weddings after being in the industry for so many years and I like to share that knowledge with my couples through blogs and guides. I'm happy to help you with your itinerary and give advice based on past weddings, but ultimately I am not a planner. I have wedding planner recommendations that I can send your way who will do an incredible job, allowing me to focus on documenting your day.
What is the turnaround time for our photos?
The turnaround time is 3 - 4 weeks for a typical 1 hour session and 6 - 8 weeks for elopements and weddings. You will get sneaks 2 weeks after your wedding / elopement. If you need your photos sooner than that, I offer expedited delivery.
How much is due to reserve our date?
For weddings and elopements, the retainer is 1/3 of the total cost. For regular sessions, the retainer is 50%. The retainer is non-refundable.
Does it cost to have you travel to our wedding? How much?
Any session or wedding more than 1 hour outside of St. George, UT requires a travel fee. Travel fees must cover gas, wear/tear, flights, Airbnb, rental car, convenience, etc. Travel costs are determined by many factors, so inquire for an exact quote.
