What are you paying for?
Years of experience, confidence, bad jokes, and great photos of your life!
I have been a photographer for 20+ years. In 2017, I rebranded and decided to take my business to the next level. So, you are wondering what you get when you book with us. You are getting my years of experience, bad jokes, and great photos of your life. I have continually trained and mentored. It's a choice I make to never stop learning and striving to be the best I can be. That way, you can be confident that during your wedding or session, we know what we're doing and not "winging it"! I have invested a lot into ensuring I have all the proper equipment and training to document your story, and this extends to all of our Associates as well. Associates have had training with me and also bring in some of their own creativity!
How can I go above and beyond to give you a great experience?
Every session or event that we do, we try to make it an amazing experience for you. We want to make it personal for you and we want you to have fun! So many people say they are awkward in front of the camera, who isn't?! We will put you at ease and capture your love, and more importantly, we will capture the feeling and emotion. We are so thrilled when clients say "this is fun!", "this isn't awkward at all!" during a session. It shouldn't be :) Just be you! We're just hanging out.
In all of our packages we do not limit the photos you receive. Whatever good photos we take, I (Sara) edits, and you get them at no extra cost. We specialize in elopements and intimate weddings. Destination weddings are also a huge part of our business. We do love photographing other big moments in your life too though.
We are within a community of awesome photographers at all different levels. If we are not what you're looking for or what suits your budget (we ALL have a budget, I get it!), then we will happily refer you to someone who we feel will suit your needs better. :) #communityovercompetition
