How I Help You Enjoy Every Second Of Your Wedding Day
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming — I see it all the time. So many decisions, so many details, and one chance to get it right. But here’s something most couples don’t realize until they’re in the thick of it: the timeline of your wedding day can either create space for joy and presence… or leave you feeling rushed and disconnected.
As a wedding photographer, I don’t just show up and take photos. I work with every couple to design a thoughtful timeline — one that reflects your priorities, honors your relationships, and gives you the breathing room to actually enjoyyour wedding day.
Why A Wedding Timeline Matters

Because protecting your business should never be optional. When I booked my first wedding, I pieced together a contract from Google and prayed it covered everything. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. 🙈 A solid contract is more than just a formality—it’s the foundation of a smooth, professional client experience and your best protection when things don’t go as […]
