sure, a professional photographer comes with a price tag.

you may wonder, "with how good phone cameras are these days, couldn't we just have our wedding guests capture the day?" however, when you make the decision to hire an experienced photographer, you are investing in far more than just someone who simply takes photos.

while i do hope that my work can speak for itself and jumpstart some of the persuasion, i'm here to convince you why you should spend your hard-earned cash on my services.

03. ARTISTRY

My aim is to capture the genuine connections you share with your partner and your loved ones in the most beautiful and artistic way possible. Throughout your wedding day, I'm constantly on the lookout for those perfect moments and the most stunning lighting to ensure your photos are nothing short of magical. During the editing process, I meticulously go through each photo, ensuring that it not only looks visually stunning but also conveys the depth of emotion you felt in that moment. Sometimes, I'll add subtle touches like additional grain, a close crop, or a black-and-white edit to enhance the emotional impact of the image. It's all about creating a visual story that reflects the uniqueness of your special day.
