your ejp
When every minute counts and seconds make a difference, I'll be sure we have enough time (and hands on deck) to capture the moments that matter. I’ll consider what you really need and will then put together a proposal perfectly tailored to your wedding.
EXPERIENCE
My hope is that you feel pulled in by my work. That you pour through this site and exhale deeply knowing "Yes, this is exactly what I've been looking for." I want you to know 100% without a doubt, that I'm the right fit for you. So, in case you still have some uncertainty and more question marks than exclamation points, let's do this:
Tell me what you want.
Let's jump on a call. I want to know about your wedding. You talk, I'll listen. Are you nervous in front of the camera? Are there family dynamics I should know? Is there anything else you want to share? I love diving in to the logistics. So I’ll probably ask a bunch of fun questions about the timing of the day too.
I'll give you what you need.
Being in front of a camera doesn't come naturally to most. Even the couples you see in the photos on this site felt a little funny at first. Let's get together for a drink. We’ll talk through your concerns and come up with a plan to make you feel comfortable.
Still feeling nervous?
