... Bruce and Leslie wondered to themselves, as the sky burst into a spectacular sunset around their embrace. The stress and hurried pace of the day had turned into giggles and goosebumps as their photographer had them dancing, joking and competing in staring contests that turned into passionate kisses!
This moment almost didn’t happen at all. But just as they were being swallowed into a sea of logistical questions and marching deadlines, Savi stole the couple away for some intimate, sunset portraits - an experience that was fast becoming their favorite part of the day…
I remember watching Leslie and Bruce return to their reception so refreshed and empowered to enjoy the evening the way they had always dreamed. And I felt so happy knowing that I was able to give them the precious gift of time and connection on their wedding day.

love what you see?
let's work together!
Your answers to the form below will be a key factor as we explore if we’re a good fit for each other. You can expect a response within 24-48 hours, and I’ll send you everything you need to lock in your date! Please contact me by phone or email if the form is not working for you ;-)
Thank you!
i'll be in touch soon!
The turnaround time for your photos depends on the complexity of the project, but I strive to deliver a sneak peek shortly after the event. The full gallery is typically ready within 6-8 weeks (probably around the time you're finishing up your Thank-You notes ;-)
When will I receive my photos?
Absolutely! I encourage you to share your vision, must-have shots, and any specific styles you love. This helps me tailor my approach to ensure your photos reflect your unique preferences and the overall vibe you want to achieve.
Can we request specific shots or styles?
Don't worry—I've got us covered! I always have a plan B based on your location, and the ability to think on my feet. Whether it's finding indoor locations with beautiful natural light or saying ‘carpe-deim’ and going for those romantic shots in the rain, we’ll turn any weather into a unique part of your love story.
what if there's bad weather on our big day?
This question is exactly why I spend so much time on the front end getting to know each other. You’re a lot less likely to feel awkward in front of a camera that’s handled by someone who you’ve laughed with about your crazy travel stories and exchanged silly pet nicknames with! But in all honesty, there may be sometimes an initial awkwardness on the front end – for about 5 to 10 minutes. By then, you’ll be having so much fun, you might forget we’re taking pictures!
