I’m not here to tell you I’m better than any other photographer—because the truth is, wedding photography isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. What I can tell you is this:

1️⃣ I’ve been in the wedding industry since I was nine years old. From assisting behind the scenes to capturing love stories through my lens, I know weddings inside and out. I’ve experienced the joy, the chaos, and everything in between.

2️⃣ Your comfort matters just as much as your photos. You should feel completely at ease around your photographer—because trust me, you’ll be spending a lot of time with them on your wedding day! I create a relaxed, fun atmosphere so that you can focus on the moments, not the camera.

3️⃣ I thrive under wedding-day pressure. Weddings are unpredictable. Tight timelines, unexpected weather, emotional moments—I’ve seen it all. My job is to keep things stress-free, roll with whatever happens, and capture every part of your day beautifully, no matter what.

So, what makes me different? I don’t just take pretty photos—I help make your day smoother, more enjoyable, and completely unforgettable.

Booking early helps you lock in your date and gives us plenty of time to plan. Here's what I recommend:

1️⃣ Most couples book 9–15 months in advance. My calendar fills up quickly, especially for spring and fall weddings.
2️⃣ That said, if you’re planning a shorter engagement or an elopement, reach out anyway! I occasionally have last-minute openings.
3️⃣ Once you inquire, I’ll walk you through everything—packages, timeline planning, and what to expect next—so you feel confident moving forward.

Absolutely. In fact, it’s one of my favorite parts of the process.

1️⃣ Before booking, I’ll send a timeline questionnaire that helps me learn your priorities—so we can build a custom plan that fits your day.
2️⃣ Whether you’re doing a first look, a later ceremony, or something totally non-traditional, I’ll help you figure out the flow.
3️⃣ I also share a polished “fancy timeline” so you (and your planner or coordinator) know exactly what to expect.

Yes! I love photographing weddings across Missouri and beyond.

1️⃣ I’m based near Springfield, but I regularly shoot in Branson, the Ozarks, and surrounding areas.
2️⃣ I’ve can also travel for weddings in Kansas City, St. Louis, Arkansas, and beyond.
3️⃣ Travel within 60 miles is included with most packages—if you're farther out, just let me know and I’ll put together a custom travel quote.

That depends on your day—but I’m here to help you decide.

1️⃣ If you're planning a micro wedding or elopement, 2–4 hours is usually perfect.
2️⃣ Full wedding days (with getting ready, ceremony, reception, and all the moments in between) typically need 6–10 hours.
3️⃣ Not sure what you need? I’ll send a quick questionnaire that makes it super easy to figure out the best fit for your timeline.
