frequently asked questions

As soon as your wedding photos are ready to share, we will schedule a date to meet up at your home or via Zoom. This party can be private for just the two of you, or you can invite family or friends to join! Together, we'll watch a slideshow of your curated wedding photos, and collectively ooh-and-ahh as we relive the magic of your wedding day. Afterwards, I'll walk you through the navigation tools inside the gallery, give you the ins and outs of online print ordering, and leave you to scroll through your photos one by one.

Wait, what's an image reveal party?

My couples receive a handful of sneak peek images within 48 hours of their wedding day. Your full-access pass to high res images will be delivered via online gallery within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day. You also have the choice to do an image reveal party in-person or via Zoom.

When do we get our photos back?

I believe strongly in quality imagery over quantity. I guarantee 50 images per hour of coverage. However, most couples who book 8-hour wedding day coverage receive 600-800 images in their galleries. BONUS: every image you receive in your gallery is yours to keep. Your photo package comes with a print release and all  digital files.

How many images will we get?

My home states are Minnesota and Iowa, and I love serving wedding clients right here at home. My main Midwest wedding photography coverage extends to Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. I love the Midwest and think there is valuable beauty right here in my own backyard. The feeling of home helps me do my best work. However, I've gotten to know many wonderful humans across the entire US. If you're getting married in a place you call home, I'd love to come and photograph you. I take on limited travel for weddings outside the Midwest each year. This allows me to care for and invest in each couple wholeheartedly.

Why the Midwest? Would you travel beyond the Midwest?

I take a documentary approach to wedding photos. This means you get to live in the moment on your wedding day, while I anticipate and photograph moments big and small. My camera is glued to my face so that I don't miss a thing. I'll be sure to help you get the classic portrait and family photos, too! My editing stays true-to-life so your images remain timeless 'til death do you part. Honest photos for a lifetime of love, my friends.

What is your style?

When you hire me, I show up to photograph with intentionality. My role is not "dress holder, dancing queen, and new best friend." My role is to make honest photos to remind you of what happened, who was there, and why it mattered. I advocate for the wedding experience you want.
