I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. When my couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, that results in genuine, joyful images! Your wedding day is an experience from beginning to end and your photography is a huge part of that experience...shouldn’t it be fun? and enjoyable? and natural? I think so! My goal is to not only capture memories for my clients, it’s to create an experience that they will never forget.

Gila Valley Weddings
When you look at your photos you don't just love them for how they look. You love them for how they make you feel! You remember how you felt in the moment a photo was taken. That is why I am here to be your sidekick; you are the hero of the story! I help you tell it in a way that the photos will bring back those feelings to strengthen your family, bring joy to your marriage, and give your kids something to smile about in 15 years when they are looking through the family albums.

Extras & Add-Ons
- Additional Photographer: $550 for the same hours as Marquette.
An additional photographer means I can cover more events of the day at a time, provide more angles (for example during the ceremony we can get more guest reactions as well as the ceremony events), and drastically increase the number of portraits I am able to deliver. - Additional Coverage time:
$400/hour booked ahead of time
$550/hour for time extended in the moment on the wedding day - Heirloom Album: $650
- Prints are available in every client's online gallery. Custom sizes can be ordered through me.

The Process
Questions
frequently asked
will you hold our date until we can get the retainer in?
As much as I wish I could, it's not fair to other couples or myself if I hold dates without a paid retainer and contract.
At this stage in my life, as a homeschool mom, professor's wife, community volunteer, and wedding photographer, I am not able to take on mini weddings. This allows me to give my best energy to the many parts of my life.
The engagement session is purely complimentary with the Full Experience and cannot be excluded for a discount. You do not have to use it if you really don't want to, but even if you've already had engagement photos done, there is a HUGE value to having an engagement session with your wedding photographer as it allows you to get to know each other and the shooting style. This makes wedding day photos even better!!
Yes!! I offer prints and canvases through your online gallery so you can order those at your convenience. I also offer high quality Heirloom Albums that can be added on to any wedding or session at any time. I encourage ALL my clients to get prints and/or products ordered. There is power in printed images that you can see daily. When you look at a photo you remember how you felt when it was taken. Having that extra boost and power in your home, to remember the good moments, is invaluable!
Do you offer anything other than a full wedding?
We want the full experience but have already had engagement photos done. Can we trade that out for something else or get a discount?
I see there aren't any prints or albums included in the experiences. Are those an option?
