Pricing?
Wedding collections start at $3,900; they are priced to fit anything from just the essentials to a full day’s coverage with extras.

Do your collections include an engagement session?
2 out of 3 of them do!

Where are you located?
I live just outside of Sacramento, but I consider the Bay Area and Tahoe to be “local” and shoot in all of these areas often.

How do I book my wedding?
You’ll email me. I’ll send you all the details. We’ll grab drinks or meet via video. You’ll tell me all about yourselves and your wedding plans and ask me all the questions. If you decide to book with me, we’ll put together your collection and make it official with a signed agreement and 30% deposit. 

How far out should I book my wedding?
12-15 months in advance, if possible. But if your wedding is just a couple months out, inquire anyway!

Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely. Your date is reserved with a 30% deposit and your final balance is due one day prior to the wedding. Between those dates, you are welcome to make payments towards your balance however often you’d like.

What is your level of experience as a wedding photographer?
I photographed my first wedding in 2012 and then slowly eased my way into the industry. I began to photograph weddings on a consistent basis around 2015, and have since photographed over 75 of them.

Are you a preferred vendor at our venue?
I am on the preferred vendor list at Vizcaya (Sacramento), The Maples (Woodland), Valhalla (Tahoe), Villa Toscana Winery (Amador), and Park Victorian (Auburn). I have a close relationship with a handful of other venues in the Sacramento area – ask me about yours!

Do you have business insurance?
Yes – I have a business license and business insurance and can send it all over to your wedding venue, if needed.

Do you travel?
Yes, please! I love any excuse to explore somewhere new. Get in touch for travel details.

so hot right now

Our photographer-client relationship reaches far beyond the wedding itself. In the months leading up to the big day, I’ll be by your side with questionnaires, timeline advice, and vendor referrals in hand. I’m here for the photos, yes, but I’m also here as your resource for all things wedding. With 11 years of experience in the wedding industry and hundreds of weddings under my belt, I’ve got lessons learned and plenty of hard-earned knowledge to share!
