With over 20 years of professional editing experience, I bring the same care and intentionality to every image that I bring to the session itself. All final photos are edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness. I give each gallery a film-inspired look, tailoring the edits to fit the unique mood and setting of your wedding. Every gallery includes light retouching, blemish removal and gentle skin softening, as a natural part of my editing process. Additional options such as consistent body slimming are available as an upgrade.

Honestly? I’ve found I work better solo. I’ve tried the second shooter thing, and more often than not it meant redundant images, the extra time it takes to coordinate/direct someone else, the chance of them not showing up (it unfortunately happened several times when I needed an assistant to help me when I was recovering from my c-sections), and one very close call where I nearly got tripped during a ceremony.

I like my space and I like being responsible for every frame myself. It’s honestly easier for me to just move quickly and get everything I want than constantly directing someone to make sure they are documenting everything with my style. One thing about me that guests often mention is that I move around so quickly and quietly that it’s like I’m teleporting around to get all of the different angles and viewpoints.

That said, if your guest list is 200 or more, or your getting ready locations are far apart, a second shooter actually makes sense. It’s available as an add-on.

Yes! I offer a variety of options for both edited cinematic video and content creation reels. Options include content creation reels, digital Super 8 style video, film Super 8 video and edited cinematic video.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

I have a curated collection of true vintage and vintage-style film cameras that create the distinctive, timeless look only film can deliver. Some of my film cameras were even passed down through several generations of artists in my family! Once the film is developed, I have the negatives professionally scanned so those images can be added right into your online gallery alongside your digital photos. From there, you’re welcome to order prints directly through your gallery or from any lab you prefer. I also have several Polaroid and Polaroid-style instant cameras available as well. After your wedding images are completed, I will mail you the film negatives so you can store them as a backup to your digital files.

Yes! While I’m currently based in Los Angeles, I travel to New Orleans whenever possible. My wedding package pricing is broken down by region, and New Orleans weddings and elopements are included in my “home base” region pricing, with no hidden travel fees. I also offer coverage for additional areas throughout the Continental U.S.

Please note, my standard gear kit is quite heavy (probably close to my body weight when it’s all added up). Locations that are not easily accessible via car or that require extensive stairs/hills may not be a viable option for me. I love an adventure though so you are welcome to inquire for custom package options if you’re planning something unique!

Sneak peeks are usually ready within 72 hours. Posed guest photos and select couple’s portraits can also be air-dropped on site with the Crescent Collection. My editing workflow is pretty dialed in, so the rest of your photos are usually ready within 2–6 weeks (most often around the two-week mark!). I love the editing process, so I’m typically diving in the very next day. Film development and scanning usually take a bit longer (about 4 weeks for film), and video editing can take 4–6 weeks.

My wedding packages include a detailed planning process, sneak peeks, download gallery of edited photos, and an edited video highlight. A photo-only package is also available for elopements and micro-weddings. A variety of additional upgrades are also available to customize your coverage.

I usually recommend starting with a phone consultation, but if the website has already answered all of your questions, feel free to send me an email through the contact page and I’ll send over the booking form. Once you’ve filled it out with the details I need for your contract, I’ll email your contract and retainer invoice. After that’s all taken care of, I’ll send over your planning questionnaire and the rest of your welcome information.
