Your Wedding Day
You have dreamed of this day for years and I want you to enjoy every moment. My goal as your photographer is to make you feel comfortable, beautiful, and at ease. To have fun and laugh so hard at your engagement and bridal sessions that you forget the camera is there at all. To take care of you on your wedding day so that all of you focus is on having the time of your life. To deliver pictures to you that will never go out of style. To help you create albums and framed prints to cherish for years to come. To be a friend in some of life's most intimate moments. And to ultimately share God's love and light in all of the beautiful moments He blesses us with.
HOW IT WORKS
Becoming a Lavender Bride
01
inquiry
Just fill out the inquiry form and I will get back to you within 24 hours. I love going on ice cream dates with my couples if possible. It is really important that we are comfortable with each other, because I am going to be by your side on a big day.
02

Yay! You are ready for the L&L experience. Everything as far as booking goes is all online. Simple and easy. Once your retainer is paid, I am yours for the wedding day!
03
planning
There are so many details that go into a wedding day, and being behind the scenes at many weddings, I am happy to share my opinion with you when you need some guidance. We will see each other for your bridal portraits or engagement session, but you can also reach me anytime. I am here to help!
04
the big day
It's Wedding Day! You are going to be beautiful and all the planning will come together. Once the day is here, there is nothing to stress about because the team of vendors you have chosen are going to take care of you. So soak it all in, you are about to marry your best friend!
05

Nothing is better than gallery delivery day... except maybe the day your wedding album and prints arrive! Once you have seen your images, let's do something with them. These consultations can be in person or over zoom. About 30 minutes of your time will turn into prints and albums that you will cherish for years to come.

Getting to know my couples well and being accessible to them is a huge priority to me. As soon as you book, I would love for you to text me about any questions you may have so that I can help this planning process go smoothly for you. I know it can be a LOT!
Easy Communication
Choosing the right vendors really can make a huge difference in your planning experience as well as the feeling of your wedding day. I have worked with lots of vendors and am happy to share my favorites with you. The ones I know do amazing work, are reliable, and we all have fun working together... which is huge!
Vendor Recommendations
Every wedding day needs a solid timeline. I am happy to make the timeline so that all of your vendors can be on the same page about what is happening when. And your bridal party knows what to expect throughout the day. A good timeline allows your wedding day to run smoothly because we have a set time for each special thing that will happen!
Timeline Help
There is just no need for planning or your wedding day to be stressful or difficult in any way. My job is to help you, hype you up, be your friend, serve you well, and in the end, pretty pictures are just the cherry on top.

Bridal Portraits
Let's just talk about Bridals for a minute. This is a day that you get to trial your hair and makeup, put on your dress, all of your jewelry, invite some of your best girls, and have some fun! This is a time to step away from the planning and stress, get all dressed up, and enjoy the excitement!
The session normally lasts one to two hours and you can expect to receive over 75 edited images. These pictures will be delivered to you through an online gallery. From there, we can create an album or have a your favorite framed to have at your reception. As far as locations go, we can talk about what you have in mind, I suggest choosing a dreamy location, it doesn't have to be the venue where you get married. If you choose a venue that charges a fee per hour, you would be responsible for that fee.
Because this is something extra, something that isn't required, some brides wrestle with if they want to take bridal portraits or not... All I can tell you is that I am so happy I had them done when I got married. All of my brides that book a bridal portrait session have the best time. It isn't for everyone, so make the choice that is best for you! If you even think you want them, do them. This is your chance to relax and feel beautiful in a dress that you will only get to wear for a few hours.
Frequently asked questions
how many images will i receive?
You can expect around 75 images per hour on your wedding day. I will deliver all the special moments and pretty photos. I want you to be able to look back on every part of your day.
Is 8 hours enough?
Normally it is! I love getting there just as hair and makeup is finishing up and leaving about an hour into dancing. Once your timeline is made, we can decide if adding extra hours is necessary to get everything captured that you have in mind.
Will you tell us how to pose?
YES! Of course. That is a huge part of my job. I will tell you exactly what to do, there is no need to be nervous or feel silly. Beautiful images come from a place of comfort and confidence.
When can i expect my wedding images?
A sneak peek will be delivered within a week of your wedding, with the full gallery coming your way within 8 weeks.
When can I expect my portrait images?
Portrait session galleries (engagement & bridals) are delivered within 2 weeks of the session date.
how do we reach you?
E-mail or text is fine with me! I love to have a relationship with my couples, and be accessible if you need me. One time, I was in a group text with the bride and groom and I have loved them ever since.
Do you have any vendor recommendations?
Yes! I would love to share my favorite vendors with you. It is such a treat to show up on a wedding day and be surrounded by vendors I know and trust to make your day perfect.
How do I know if i need a second shooter
A second photographer provides a different perspective throughout the day. We can talk more about your timeline to decide if you need a second shooter. It is always a treat to have a second camera there to capture even more magic.
