On a call yesterday, one of my inquiring brides told me that she really loved seeing the process behind the scenes of me guiding and directing couples because the reality was - she didn’t know if the couples looked so comfortable in front of the camera because they were just these beautiful models who were used to taking pictures or if they were actually being guided and directed. She said it really mattered to her to know WHO she would be working with for the entire day.

This really inspired me because I truly post these videos for my clients and oncoming clients to almost get a taste of what the full experience is but to also build trust with them that they know it’s not a forced product happening - it’s genuine connection, trust, and a lot of silliness. Wedding days can be so serious and yes, your wedding photos are extremely important. That’s why I want to take that stress away and help you feel like the best, most natural and comfortable version of yourself 🤍

If you’re a bride from ANYWHERE (not just Vegas, anywhere!!!) looking to feel an actual connection with your photographer AND get beautiful images too, and you’ve found my page - take it as a sign that I’m your girl 🫶🏼
