Feeling Awkward? Real Brides Spill the Tea on What It's Like to Work with Me
A common refrain I hear from couples “We’re not the best in front of the camera; we’re a little awkward.” I feel that. Being in front of the camera can feel every bit of awkward if you’re not used to it. You’re not alone if you’re worried about how you’ll look or feel in your wedding photos.
Helping you look and feel your best is integral in my approach. But don’t just take my word for it—here’s what five real brides had to say about their experience working with me.
“My biggest fear was that Josh and I would feel uncomfortable having our photos taken, and thank goodness the opposite was true! You helped us to feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and we are absolutely in love with our genuine photos.” – Emily
Your wedding day is not the time to be distracted with nerves when it comes to photos. There’s so much going on that day that taking away that fear helps you focus on what truly matters.
“Working with you was soooo much fun! Our sessions were full of laughter and excitement. You made this side of wedding planning so easy and enjoyable! ” – Lesley
It can be to forget throughout your planning and especially when the decision fatigue sets in that this is supposed to be fun! Keeping things aligned with your vision and goals helps prioritize how you want to feel.
“It was amazing how supportive and encouraging you were to Jack and I as well as our wedding party and guests. You were such a calming presence and helped to remind us of the purpose of the day rather than force a bunch of photos.” – Hannah
As a photographer with a relationship-first approach, I’ll be there not just as your photographer, but as someone who reminds you to take a breath, hold your partner’s hand a little tighter, and truly be in the moment. Because the most incredible photos happen when you’re simply living the day, fully present and completely at ease.
“I loved the knowledgeable guidance you provided throughout the process. We were feeling stuck during our last planning meeting and you listened to our concerns and provided specific feedback and guidance for moving forward. ” – Rachel
Working together prior to the day I want to listen to ensure every concern is addressed and we collaborate together with your planning team to uncover the best solution for you.
“Thank you for making me feel heard.” – Maycie
I’m not here for the feeling of being a squared peg being forced into a round hole. From our first interaction to after your wedding weekend, a fully customized experience means that you are never treated like just another couple.

My job is to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself. And trust me—you’ll love how effortless your wedding photos look (even if you felt a little awkward at first). There are good things ahead!
