The promise

When you book me, you book me

Las Vegas is full of large photography companies where you pick from staff portfolios and often don't know who will show up. That's not this. I'm the person you meet at the consultation, and I'm the photographer at your wedding.

I'm comfortable shooting solo, and most of my couples book just me. For bigger or more complex days, or when you want more angles, you can add a second shooter: an established professional shooting at my level who could take over the whole wedding if the worst ever happened, or Ben, my husband, who has assisted me since 2009, for supplementary coverage.

How it works

From hello to gallery

  1. Say hello. Email me about your day and I'll send pricing right away. I'm not trying to gatekeep.
  2. Let's talk. In person if we can, on the phone if not. You'll see the portfolio, ask everything, and we'll walk through your timeline. You won't sign anything at that meeting. Go home, think it over, and if it feels right I'll email the contract.
  3. Book the date. A $500 deposit holds it, and the balance isn't due until a month before the wedding. I hold dates for couples whose venue is booked, so lock in your venue first.
  4. Engagement session. Free with packages of eight hours or more. This is where the awkwardness gets burned off, weeks before it matters.
  5. Planning call. About a month out we build your family shot list, lock the timeline, and confirm coverage. I'll give you honest expectations about how long family photos really take.
  6. Wedding day. I'm there, rain or shine, for however long your day needs. Your contract allows eight weeks for your gallery, and I try my best to deliver within two.

Wedding days

Every kind of wedding

Multi day cultural weddings, two brides, two grooms, second marriages, plus size brides, biracial couples, church, courthouse, and the unusual ones. If you're willing to do it, I'm willing to do it.

What's included

All of your photos, and the rights to them

  • Every edited image delivered in an online gallery. I shoot generously and cull carefully, and I never remove anything I think you'd want. If you want a number, expect at least 60 edited images per hour of coverage. I consistently beat that.
  • Full printing and posting rights. Print anywhere, post anywhere, edit them however you like. The only rules: you can't say someone else took them, and you can't sell them.
  • Your gallery stays open for years, though I'll ask you to download everything within three months. I also keep every photo I've ever taken backed up. We're in this together. Keep your backups, and I'll keep mine.
  • Planning help: timeline advice, family shot list, outfit suggestions for the engagement session, and a calm presence in the chaos.

Pricing

Simple and shared up front

$300 per hour when you book two or more hours. Packages are just the hourly rate multiplied out, no hidden fees or bundling games. Eight hours is the most popular choice for a full wedding day, and I'll help you figure out how many hours your day actually needs.

Prints and albums aren't included, but they're always available, even years later.
