Your wedding isn't just a day; it's a beautiful, emotional, once-in-a-lifetime moment that deserves to be captured exactly as it unfolds.
North Dakota wedding photography
From the deep breaths before you walk down the aisle to the laughter on the dance floor, every second matters.
My approach is simple: I want to tell your story in a way that feels real. Capturing your wedding day is about the big emotions and the tiny in-between moments where you catch your breath, smile at your other half, or catch your parents' teary eyes. The day goes by so fast that sometimes, these moments can be missed and forgotten. During the day, I aim to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and present on your wedding day so you can soak in the new journey ahead.
Okay, choosing your wedding photographer is a huge decision I don't take lightly. So here's how I can help.
Authentic Connection.
I want to understand you as a couple. Your wedding photos should feel like you, and I start that process by getting you at ease in front of the camera with engagement sessions to break the ice. As I learn more about you, I'll be able to capture memories that I know would be important to you.
Emotional Storytelling.
My approach is guided by feelings rather than aesthetics. I don't just take lovely-looking photos but focus on capturing moments that make you feel something. Your wedding photos will truly capture the emotions of your day, letting you relive the love and the happy tears all over again.
Stress-Free Experience.
Weddings are a beautiful kind of chaos. There's many things to do, so many people to organize that it's easy to feel overwhelmed. I've created an easy, straightforward, and laid-back experience. I guide you through every step, helping with posing, timelines, and even the little details so you can actually enjoy your day.
You might have a few hesitations about booking a photographer, so here's how I can make things easier.
"We feel awkward in front of the camera.""
You're not alone. Most couples feel this way at first. But don't worry. I'll gently guide you so you never feel stiff or unnatural. I focus on real moments, movement, and connection so your photos look effortless and authentic to you.
"We don't know how much coverage we need."
Every wedding is different, so I offer multiple packages so you can choose from. Whether you want the key moments captured or want to capture the whole day, I've got you covered. Feel free to reach out if you still can't find something that fits.
"We don't know where to take engagement photos."
That is no problem at all. I help with location scouting to ensure a backdrop that feels true to you. I have so many places to recommend that we'll be able to find something that fits.
"What if we're not traditional?"
Love comes in all forms, and no matter how you're celebrating, whether it's an intimate elopement, a backyard wedding, or a grand event, your love story deserves to be captured in a way that feels true to you.
Every love story is unique, and your wedding photography should reflect that. Below are my packages designed to fit different needs, ensuring you get the perfect coverage for your big day.

We'll start the day with you and your bridal party getting ready. I'll arrive at your location and capture the details, including your dress, shoes, rings, and any personal touches you've chosen for the big day. I'll also get candid shots of you and your bridesmaids as you get pampered with hair and makeup. For the groom, I'll snap photos of him and the groomsmen getting ready, and we'll get some fun, relaxed shots of everyone before the ceremony begins.

If you're doing a "First Look," this is when we'll capture that beautiful, emotional moment when you and your partner see each other before the ceremony. This is an intimate time for capturing genuine reactions and allows us to get many formal photos out of the way before the ceremony so you can enjoy more time with your guests later.

The ceremony itself typically lasts 20-30 minutes. I'll move around to capture all the important moments—your partner's expression as you walk down the aisle, exchanging vows, the first kiss, and all the emotions in between. These are usually some of the most cherished photos of the day!
