What’s my style?? …It’s not what you think
Okay hear me out, you’re going to find so many photographers “styles” that you love and of course that is such a compliment to my art BUT imagine having photos you love with an experience that you didn’t…
So yeah, that’s my goal. To not only give you images that you love today and 10 years down the road but also give you an experience that you’re going to remember having fun!
I mean let’s be honest, the best photos are the ones where you feel 100% yourself.

She made my wedding day feel very special with the photos being taken and looking at them now still brings me to tears! I would definitely have her again in the future for any pictures to be taken again. I would definitely recommend her to capture any for any special events.”
Can I be honest with you?
So, I’ve always loved photography - the editing, creamy skin tones and just making people feel like a million bucks in front of the camera has always been something I’ve subconsciously loved before it ever became my job. Honestly, when people ask me why I became a wedding photographer that’s usually my go to answer..
But here’s the thing…one of the main reasons I became a wedding photographer is because of the unfortunate experience I had with my own wedding photos on my wedding day.
I didn’t know what I know now and so therefore I didn’t know what questions to ask and how to be sure I was going to get the photos that I really loved. So, PLEASE when you go looking for a Jacksonville Wedding Photographer - do yourself a favor and use these questions that I wish I had asked mine before booking!
Questions to ask a wedding photographer before booking them.
I’ve added my answers to give you a sneak peek into how I roll as your photographer!
-
I use a multi-layered backup process to ensure your wedding photos are safe. I transfer the files to two external hard drives immediately after the event. I also import the images into editing software and keep the originals on memory cards until the final gallery is delivered, ensuring your memories are protected every step of the way.
-
Absolutely! I’d be happy to share three full galleries from the past 6–12 months. Let me know, and I’ll provide you with links to view them.
-
In the unlikely event of an emergency situation beyond my control that prevents me from attending, I would have a trusted associate photographer with equal or greater experience step in to cover your wedding day. Rest assured, all the images would still go through my editing process to ensure consistency and quality in the final gallery.
-
Yes, I can absolutely share reception and flash photos for you to see! I’ll include examples in the galleries I deliver for your review. Over time, I’ve grown very comfortable working in low-light settings and am always refining my flash techniques to ensure reception photos have beautiful, even lighting.
-
My typical turnaround time for delivering your wedding gallery is 8–10 weeks. In the unlikely event that something out of my control impacts this timeline, I will notify you immediately, and your photos will remain my top priority to ensure they are delivered as soon as possible.
-
I make couples feel comfortable by constantly talking to them, giving prompts, and providing guidance throughout the entire day (except during the ceremony). There’s no awkward posing—just good vibes, genuine interactions, and capturing real emotions that reflect your unique connection.
-
I require a 30% non-refundable deposit to secure your wedding date, with the remaining balance due on the day of the wedding. This policy, along with all other details, will be clearly outlined in my contract for your review before making any payment or signing.
-
I totally get that waiting forever for your wedding photos is the worst! That’s why I deliver sneak peeks within 48 hours after the wedding. I want you to have a gorgeous photo to share on Instagram, display in your home, or share with family right away.
-
Yes, I can be as involved or uninvolved as you'd like, depending on where you are in the planning process. I have lots of vendor suggestions that I can share with you. One thing is for sure—we’ll chat a few weeks before the wedding to create a photography timeline that you can share with your family and bridal party. This helps ensure a smooth, stress-free day and keeps everything running on schedule!
