Distinct wedding photo and film in Colorado and beyond
1. Hit Me Up
Fill out my contact form. I’ll reach out to set up a time for us to meet.
2. Chemistry Call
We’ll hop on a Zoom call to get to know each other. I’ll ask you to gush about how you met, when you got engaged, and what you envision for your wedding day. If we vibe, we’ll get all the necessary paperwork out of the way, and then it’s time to celebrate!
3. Planning & Prep
I’ll create a game plan for your wedding and call in my best contacts to help me capture as much footage as possible. This is also when we’ll set up your engagement session so you can use all those beautiful photos leading up to the big day!
4. wedding day
Showtime, baby! Seriously though, relax and be present with one another. I’ve got everything covered (and will hop in wherever I’m needed).
5. Post production
While you’re living it up in that “just married” bliss, I’m busy curating the best-of-the-best footage from your day. Within a week, you’ll have teaser photos in your inbox. Soon after, your finished film and photos are ready for their debut!
SO HOW DOES THIS WORK, EXACTLY?
Every couple is distinct, and your wedding should be too. Your wedding photography and videography should be unique to you. Do you want a wedding album? No problem. Do you want to capture the rehearsal dinner? Great!

6. What’s a print release?
5. Will you record special moments like speeches and first looks?
4. Is 7 minutes enough time to capture our whole day?
3. How will our photos and film be delivered?
2. How do you make sure you don’t miss anything on wedding day?
1. What if we are awkward in front of the camera?
1. what if we are awkward in front of the camera?
My number one priority is ensuring you have a great time. I’ll be cracking jokes and making fun of myself the whole time. I’ve learned that if we get along well (and we will), you’ll be more comfortable being yourselves. I actually have a lot of people who are reluctant to be in front of the camera tell me, "Wow, that was way more fun than I thought it would be!"
2. How do you make sure you don’t miss anything on wedding day?
I typically have a second shooter, so multiple cameras/angles will always be on you throughout the day. During the significant moments (like the ceremony), I’ll mic you up to ensure every word you say to each other is captured clearly. I also highly recommend exchanging letters to read before your ceremony! It’s such a cool moment and perfectly compliments your vows in your wedding film. Just a thought!
3. How will our photos and film be delivered?
Your photos and film are delivered digitally, so you can share the links with anyone you’d like, near or far. I highly recommend backing everything up on an external hard drive, just in case! I've also helped many of my couples with photo books and prints, so let me know if that would be helpful for you!
4. Is 6 minutes enough time to capture our whole day?
While I end the night with much more content than that, the magical part of creating films is the editing process. I handpick the most heartfelt, unique moments to curate the most authentic summary of your day possible. Seven minutes may not seem like a lot, but I promise when you see your film, you’ll understand! In the meantime, check out the films in my gallery to get a sense of the magic we can create together.
5. Will you record special moments like speeches and first looks?
Yep! I also include full footage of speeches and ceremony upon request. They’ll be separate from your 7+ minute film. So, if you need more, you can add on what I call a "FOMO Edit". I'll edit all the clips from the day together chronologically so you can see all the unedited clips in a longer, more raw format!
6. What’s a print release?
A print release is a legal clause that allows you to print your photos. Once your final photos are edited and delivered, you have full rights to print as many photos as you’d like. I may share your photos on my website or social media (I LOVE bragging about how fiercely awesome the couples I work with are), but they’re yours to do what you’d like. Share them with the world!
