I am a wedding photographer and videographer for the joyful, color loving bride-to-be who adores fluffy flowers, a little midwest charm, and of course her fiance! I take my role in your wedding day pretty seriously! I want to be the organized one on top of my game so you two can enjoy every moment stress-free. I want to feel like a good friend so you're comfortable with my cameras around. I want to turn moments into heirlooms you will cherish for years to come. You've put a lot into planning this day, let me put a lot into documenting it!
I have the heart of a teacher, the eye of a photographer, and the foggy brain of a mama! Whether I'm capturing love stories or Seniors graduating, coaching other women to reach their "side hustle" goals, or just simply sharing the everyday chaos of life with my long distance family, I want my presence to better the lives of others! I hope we can become new best friends, and cannot wait to get started together!
You've thoroughly combed through my website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see! The first step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the PERFECT fit for one another. I answer any questions you have and give you details on the flow of a wedding day with me. I will send out a client portal email where you can view your contract, invoice and questionnaires. You're in!
Once your date is officially reserved, I'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day! Gift giving is my love language and this is my FAVORITE part of the process. You will stay connected with me on social media and get to know other Breezy Brides. You'll truly feel like part of the bride tribe!
Engagement sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. This is just great practice for the big day, and the perfect way for us to get to know each other. I'll help you prepare outfits, and I'll lead you through all the posing! It'll be fun for BOTH of you, I promise!
I'm happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, help create a timeline and shot list, answer any and all emails, connect with your other vendors, and assist with any questions you might have! Let's stay in touch throughout the process. Planning a wedding is more INVOLVED than most realize, so feel free to lean on me when you need it most!
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. I will help you navigate the toughest parts of the day so that you can just worry about enjoying the moment! I will be capturing all the candid moments filled with emotion, pretty details you put so much effort into, traditional family portraits, and even some silly outtakes that you'll absolutely love!
You will see sneak peeks the day after your wedding, and I know you'll love them! You can expect all your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within two weeks of your wedding. At that time, I'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums. Once you've chosen your deliverable products, everything will be packaged together with your USB flash drive and put in the mail like one last little wedding present!
As a Breezy Bride, you get access to professionally printed albums, books, canvases, prints and more through your online gallery! All of our prints and products are high quality, durable and will last you years and years to come. It is so different to physically hold your photos in your hand. With an album, prints or wall art, you can bring the best day ever back to life!
I might be 40, but I still act like a 25 year old! I love laughing and having fun, no matter what the situation... Not only will I manage the time line and flow of the day, but I'll tell you how flawless you look every step of the way! I will fix your hair, carry your shade of lipgloss, make miracles happen for photos, tell people to help more or leave you alone, and give you a hug and snack when your energy is dipping down. No matter what happens...I got your back!
Even though very few people use Facebook anymore, I'm holding on to my VIP group! Until I can figure out how to make a group on Instagram, we will be hanging out on Facebook. This is where I share trends and ideas that I see, awesome moments my other couples have experienced, or straight up guidance on how to survive the day with as little stress as possible!
I'm approaching my 200th wedding and in that time I've met some amazing vendors! DJs, florists, hair and makeup specialists, caterers, rentals and planning...I have a list of the coolest, most creative, most passionate people who are dying to help you create your dream wedding day! Just ask and I will hook you up with some phenomenal businesses!
I have shot over 190 weddings to date, and I have shot events in Spain, Italy, France, Mexico and Ireland! (I'm totally down if you want to add to that list!) I love getting to create images that my clients love and you'll probably hear my laugh from a mile away!
Thanks for your message! I'll be in touch soon!
