I have over twenty years of experience in the wedding industry as a photographer, and I have worked with some of the sweetest and the most intense brides in town, whom all have been happy and satisfied with my services. Afterall, my goal as a photographer is to retain you and your family as future repeat clients so that I may continue journalizing every steppingstone of your lives. 

I began working with weddings after my own wedding turned into a complete disaster beginning with my wedding planner. Everything that could go wrong happened. The bouquets were not ordered, the groom's shoes were not picked up until the morning of the wedding, the minister officiant was high, the chapel lost our wedding license that we dropped off the night before the wedding and the list goes on. I remember my eyes tearing up and mascara dripping down my face on my wedding day, choked up and heart broken when it was supposed to be the most important day of my life to promise my love and commitment to always cherish and work on our life together with the love of my life. At that moment I decided I wanted to be the person to help make every wedding a successful dream. So, I made the change to focus more on weddings and making sure to help every bride create the dream wedding they have always wanted.

 I have worked with fun, sweet, patient and highly intense brides. Weddings are intense and I simplify the intensity by smoothing out the wrinkles for each of my Brides and their Groom. I include each of you in the process with a written schedule of when particular photos should take place. We make decisions together and if things need to change up for unseen reasons, we make it happen. I follow your lead with the structure you help me detail on paper, at the end of the day you are presented with a beautiful visual through digital imagery to keep for centuries, as a reminder of your love and commitment to each other.

The most recent wedding I documented took place at The Somerset Clubhouse in Reno, Nevada. The bride and groom were on a low budget and merging two beautiful families together as one. Her colors were handpicked by the family and her decorations were stunning with royal blues hues and Lavendars intertwined with greenery and baby's breath. Approximately two hundred guests were in attendance and the wedding party was not smiling due to the wedding cake arriving in disarray. Due to scheduling a little extra time in between I was able to take a few moments and fix the flaws in the wedding cake so the guests would not realize the cake was damaged prior to the event. The bride never even learned of the disaster until the following day when someone told her I fixed it by rearranging the flowers gently in order to hide the damage. After the damage control was complete, I began making light jokes to get the wedding party to smile and laugh, and gratefully everyone started having a wonderful time. I was able to capture stunning images of their wedding day, formal, posed and informal shots, candid and emotional images to create timeless perfection for their wedding. This was an eight-hour wedding day scheduled from beginning to end and I felt accomplished and successful when I was asked for a picture with me to say thank you for everything. I am so happy to help with such detail for all of my Brides and Grooms.

The greatest advice I can offer a Bride and Groom is to look for a photographer that pays attention to detail. One who listens to your desires and shows they genuinely care about your wedding day becoming a success for you. Read their policy over thoroughly. Know it well before signing.

 "Anybody can be a photographer, but not everybody has the heartfelt love that all photographers should have." A good wedding photographer should put herself in your shoes and know what you're looking for and then she will make it happen. When you find the perfect photographer for you, you will know her value.

A retainer of 50% Is required to lock in and secure your wedding date and the location, to ensure nobody can take your date for the selection of your choice. However, things happen, if your wedding must be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances, 24 Hour notice is required. I will work with you, if another date is still available for the same location (within 100 miles of the original location), or the retainer can be applied towards another photography package to be used within 3 months of the originally scheduled event.

Absolutely! I encourage my clients to share their ideas and preferences with me for their photography session. I want your photos to reflect your personality and style, so I am happy to accommodate specific requests as much as possible.
