detail-oriented
You’re taking the time to plan all the details of your day, it’s only fair they get photographed! No detail is too small to capture, so I take a lot of time to ensure I know what’s important to you. That way I’m capturing your day just how you envision it! I’ll send you questionnaires throughout planning so I have ALL the details and I am able to seamlessly photograph your day.

Like the way your mom tears up putting in your veil, your dad getting emotional seeing you in your dress for the first time, the look the two of you share the first time you see each other that day, your first kiss as a MARRIED couple, the soft, secret smiles the two of you share during dinner and toasts, and all the hilarious dance moves your family and friends bring to the dance floor.
