Film is my medium of choice. It enables me to create the photographs I want, and I enjoy not only the end result but also the process. It allows me to be in the moment, noticing, and slowing down to take intentional photographs that document how the day feels. For me, film has a way of photographing light that cannot be replicated with digital. The colors, tones, light, etc. are all unique to film. While I edit my digital photos to match film as closely as possible, there is an indescribable magic about the film photographs.

All of my packages come with the gift of quality in-person time together. It’s more about getting to know each other before the wedding, the photos are just an added bonus!

These pre-wedding sessions are an opportunity to invite me into your everyday world. In doing so, we can create photographs of the little things you will want to look back on years from now - your decorated bookshelves in your apartment, your pets, the streets you walk around your neighborhood everyday, your favorite cafe.

This is not a typical engagement session (no boring matching white tee engagement photos here!); rather, a celebration of your everyday life.

These sessions typically last anywhere from 90 minutes to several hours. Ideally they include a meal together - whether that’s at your favorite diner or cooking dinner together at home. We will chat over good food, maybe go for a walk together, and build comfort and trust before your wedding day.

Travel is included anywhere within 100 miles of Bath, Maine. If you would like your session to be at a location outside of this radius, there may be a travel fee.

I treat pre-wedding sessions as a chance to meet in-person, learn more about who you are as individuals and a partnership. It’s an opportunity for you to get a bit more comfortable in front of a the camera. To me, these are all about building trust so the first time we meet is not on your wedding day. Plus, you get cool photos from our time together!

If you live outside of Maine, we can make travel arrangements for the session. Otherwise, some couples will time their engagement sessions with a venue tour on travel if you live outside of Maine but are getting married here.

If it is just not feasible geographically, I totally get it and that is ok! I’ll try to meet up with you in the days leading up to your wedding, even if it’s to just grab a tea or check out the venue together. I find these meetings put us all at ease and make the wedding day run extra smoothly!

Pre-wedding sessions are complimentary, in other words, use it or lose it. I cannot provide a discount or coverage elsewhere if you choose not to use the session.

I am all about balancing a documentary approach with getting those portraits of you both and close family & friends. However, weddings are not a photoshoot. They should be about spending time with your people, and any time spent taking photographs is time that could be spent enjoying the day you planned.

I like to have two 10 minute portrait sessions for you throughout the day - perhaps before/after the ceremony, and later in the evening when you want to step away together and share a moment.

Family/friend portraits can happen in a short span of time before or after the ceremony so you can all get back to enjoying your day together! My directing is very minimal - I want to take photographs that represent who you truly are, not some posed version of yourself. I will give some prompting, but in general I am there to photograph the authentic connections and emotions you are feeling together on your wedding day.

I also recommend couples allow plenty of time in their day, so they can slow down and enjoy. When there is a tight schedule, those candid moments don’t have time to unfold naturally.

While I typically photograph weddings alone, if you have a particularly large, complex wedding with lots of details I am more than happy to bring along a second shooter. This is most helpful in situations when you would like getting ready photos of both of you and have lots of details you want documented. We can discuss the fee for a second shooter when we chat.

Second photographs will use a combination of digital and film.

If we are a great fit, I will travel anywhere for you day! See package info above to see which states are included without a travel fee.

The first time you see your photographs, I want it to be on print - in a small complimentary album delivered to you. I want you to take time together to relive those memories. So each package includes a free mini album that you will receive first. I will then immediately give you an online link you can view the full gallery - share, download, print, etc!

When you inquire via the website, I will be in touch ASAP to schedule a short Zoom call with you both. We will chat about the vision for your day, and you can ask me any questions you have! If you decide to move forward, I require a 30% retainer to secure the date. The remaining balance is due one week before the wedding date.
