You’re not just booking someone to show up and snap photos. You’re choosing someone to document your day exactly as it feels, so you can relive it for decades to come — all the laughter, tears, and tiny in-between moments.

Because no two wedding days are alike, I don’t believe in cookie-cutter packages. Instead, I build custom collections for each couple, so you’re paying for exactly what you want, and nothing you don’t. No forced “boxes,” no filler — just your day, your way.

Because no two wedding days are alike...

we have  read all of this and are ready to book you sammy!

Build Your Custom Package
I personally build custom packages for each couple based on your specific needs and budget. Once you inquire, I’ll email you a link to create your own custom package — it includes a quick, detailed questionnaire that helps me design the perfect fit for you.

Get All The Details — No Call Required!

Once you finish your questionnaire, I’ll send your personalized proposal — packed with pricing and all the details you need — straight to your email within 1–2 days. No phone call required (but we can always hop on one if you’d like!).

how much

Most of my couples investment begin at $5k for full wedding day coverage and $3–4k for micro celebrations.

Here’s the thing: your final package all depends on what matters most to you — Whether that’s full-day coverage, an engagement session, a second shooter, a Polaroid add-on, or an heirloom album you’ll pass down for generations.

When you inquire, I’ll take the time to learn what you truly care about — so your proposal is tailored to fit your day perfectly.

Every custom package includes:

✔️ A photographer (hi, that’s me!) who’s in your corner from day one
✔️ Wedding day coverage tailored to your timeline
✔️ Edited, high-resolution images with full printing rights
✔️ A secure online gallery to share with your favorite people
✔️ Sneak peeks so you don’t have to wait too long!
✔️ A stress-free experience designed around you

From there, you can add on what feels right: engagement sessions, bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner coverage, extra hours, Polaroids, albums, and more.

WEDDING PACKAGES begin at $5k

For the ones craving something different...

Whether it’s a candlelit backyard celebration or adventurous elopement, I’ll be there to document the stillness, the spark, and the story.

With Micro Weddings, there’s room to breathe. Room to be present. Room to focus on what really matters: the connection between you and your beloved. I work closely with you to shape an experience that feels like you—and then capture it with an intentional, artful lens.

micro packages: $3-4k

Not every story needs a big occasion. Whether you're long-time lovers, or simply want to celebrate a season of life, couple sessions are a chance to slow down and be seen. To create something just because.

Together, we’ll build a space where you can be fully yourselves—quiet, playful, affectionate, messy. I’ll guide the session with care and ease, blending your natural energy with a little editorial magic. The result is imagery that doesn’t just show you, but feels like you.

average investment is $350

For families, seniors, and brands with heart—this is more than portraits. It’s a chance to capture the essence of what you do and why you do it. No matter the community you serve, I approach life style sessions storytelling with the same care and nuance I bring to every love story.

We’ll collaborate to create a visual narrative that’s elevated, intentional, and uniquely you. Think less “perfect poses,” more natural rhythm, texture, and tone—imagery that reflects your creative vision and connects with your people.

range from $200-500

I picked up a camera at 15 and instantly fell in love with capturing moments. I started out assisting at weddings when I was 18, and by 20, I was solo shooting my own weddings! It’s been an incredible journey, and by the end of 2025, I’ll have shot over 100 weddings. Each one is a new adventure and a chance to tell a couple’s unique story through my lens.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I’m all about capturing it just as it happens—natural colors, real moments, and plenty of fun! I keep my edits true to life, so when you look back, it feels like you’re right there again. I’m into vibrant colors like lush greens and bright blues, and I stay away from those trendy dark edits. Plus, I shoot on 35mm film and Polaroids for that extra nostalgic vibe, and I love offering a variety of printing options to bring your memories to life in a tangible way!

I shoot with three high-end mirrorless Canon cameras, so you can count on top-notch image quality and professional results ready for printing. Alongside those, I bring a couple of 35mm film cameras and my trusty Polaroid camera to add a touch of nostalgia and variety to your gallery. The mix of digital sharpness and classic film vibes ensures your photos have both modern clarity and that charming, vintage feel.

close

I take preserving your precious memories very seriously, so I back up all digital files to two external hard drives and keep the original SD cards in a safe place until your full gallery is delivered. On top of that, I use an online cloud storage method for extra security. Once your gallery is sent, you'll have a full year to download the files before the link is no longer active. Rest assured, your memories are well-protected throughout the entire process!

close

Totally, I’m game for it all! Family shots, couple pics, senior portraits—you name it. Just let me know what you’re thinking, and we’ll make it happen!
