Weddings
By. Milkweed Moments
Cinematic, Timeless, and dreamy photographs you’ll romanticize for years to come.
Thank you for considering me for one of the biggest days of your life! From here forward, I’m here to help you capture the wedding of your dreams based on who you and your partner are as a couple. No gallery will look exactly like the other because your photos should be captured in your uniqueness. I will be taking a limited amount of weddings and elopements per year as to assure my utmost attention can be given to each couple for these monumental moments. There is no cap on photos given however, I believe in quality over quantity so my goal is to deliver all of the best photos to recreate your special day as it truly unfolds. My editing will amplify(without over saturating) those blue skies because they were that blue! Those flowers that were vividly bold in color will not be toned down, but toned up! The process starts with an inquiry and ends with a gallery that you’ll cherish for forever. When you’re ready to inquire, head to my contact page! I’ll be waiting and am so excited to get to know you and your partner!

From Playful Moments to Timeless Portraits: Let's Tell Your Family's Story Together!
Here are the next steps…
When you’ve gone over the collections and let your heart settle on one, head to my contact page to fill out the booking form. I’ll get back to you within 24 hours and start the next steps in the booking process.
We’ll set up a discovery call and get the chance to know your needs and wants better. After our call, the contract and invoice will be sent over.
I’ll schedule an in home meet and greet. This will be the perfect time to go over outfit choices. If you need help on clothing vendors I have a preferred list too! Upon leaving, I’ll have gotten to know your family better. This initial meet will help solidify our friendship and help me gain the trust of any littles who may be reserved. So, that on the day of the our session, my face is not unfamiliar! It’s an important step to help us get great photos and help me navigate your family’s uniqueness.
Then, it’s our session day! After our session, I’ll deliver sneak peaks within 72 hours. Within 4-5 weeks I’ll schedule an in-home gallery reveal appointment. Bonus surprise— During this time and only this time, your in-gallery store will be marked down 15%! This is a chance to have huge savings on family heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come. If you choose to purchase any items, this is where your complimentary wall art installation comes into play. I’ll head back over with an art installer and get your treasured items hung for display. This last step is to ensure all items and walls remain pristine.
From there, I’ll bid you all farewell until your next big milestone! Now… if you’re ready to have a luxury and tailored experience, hit the button below!
