I just got engaged! What do I do now?

First of all, congratulations! This is such a fun time in your life, don’t forget to take some time to soak it all in, celebrate, and really enjoy this season! Next, I encourage you (and, honestly, all newly engaged couples – even if I don’t photograph your wedding) to really think about what is important to you on your wedding day. Think about the kinds of memories you want to have. Be intentional during the planning process to prioritize your experience over traditions (if you do choose to include certain traditions on your wedding day, make sure you’re doing so because they actually mean something to you).

What is the difference between an elopement and an intimate wedding?

Everyone has their own definition of what an elopement is, but for me nothing feels more like an elopement than just the two of you committing your lives to each other on a day that was designed just for you. Intimate weddings are just as intentionally planned, but are designed to include the people in your life who are nearest and dearest to your heart.

What is your photography style?

I do my best work in nature – it’s where I feel the most creative and the most inspired. I love photographing in the warm light of golden hour (the hour immediately after sunrise and immediately before sunset). I don’t believe in awkward or stiff posing. During your wedding day, I am first and foremost a documentarian. During family photos and also during the portrait portions of the day, I give simple prompts that involve movement, and usually will add in a few editorial-style poses as well. My editing style can best be described as neutral, earthy, and filmy. If there’s a distraction in the image I will edit it out, but I will not alter your appearance – you’re beautiful just the way you are. Check out the before and after photos for a better visual.

Can you send me a gallery of your work to look at before I book you?

Of course! I do have a gallery page here on this website, and you can always check out my blog posts+ Instagram, but if you would like a full wedding day gallery to browse through just let me know on your contact form and I would be happy to send one to you!

How far in advance should I book with you?

It all depends on what package or session you’re booking! In general, the sooner you book the better. I don’t book weddings more than one season in advance – currently in 2025 I am booking through Fall of 2026. That being said, even if your wedding is coming up in the next few months, don’t hesitate to reach out – I just might still have your date open! For sessions I usually book one or two months in advance, but again the sooner you book the better.

What if I want to book you for a 4 hour elopement day?

I know firsthand how hectic things can get on your wedding day – even with a small wedding or elopement (my husband and I had an intimate wedding in Rocky Mountain National Park ourselves), and the very last thing I want you to worry about on your wedding day is having enough time to take pictures. That’s why even for simple elopements I don’t book anything shorter than 6 hours of coverage.

Since you’re so involved in the wedding planning process, do I still need to hire a wedding planner?

Just because you hire a wedding planner does not mean I won’t support you as you plan your wedding. Wedding planners can help take so much stress off your plate (which is always a good thing!). Planning weddings is also their literal job, and they’re much better at it than I am. If you do choose to hire a wedding planner for your elopement or intimate wedding, make sure you hire someone who specializes in the type of wedding you want to have – planning an elopement is very different than planning a 300+ guest ballroom wedding! Also, the amount of help I give you with planning your wedding is completely up to you. All of my wedding clients receive my wedding planning guide, which includes a wedding planning checklist, timeline tips, and how to get amazing photos of your wedding day (as well as amazing inspo photos!). But when you hire me to photograph your wedding or elopement, you get me and I am always available for questions or to bounce ideas off of or even to vent if something is stressing you out.

How do you help me create a sustainable wedding day?

Sustainability and Leave No Trace are hot topics right now, especially in the wedding/elopement industry. That being said, I don’t expect you to be experts on the subject. When you hire me to photograph your wedding, we’ll have an open discussion about steps we can take to minimize the impact your wedding has on the earth so that the beautiful and wild place you love enough to get married in can be enjoyed and loved by others far into the future.

Do any of your wedding packages include an album or prints?

I do not include albums or prints in any of my packages, because those aren’t a priority for everyone. I want you to spend your money on what is most important to you (this goes along with my focus on sustainability). All of the photos I deliver to you are in digital format, and included in your contract is a print release so that you can print your photos wherever you want. However, if you’re interested in ordering high quality prints or a luxury album, I have an incredible print shop that I order prints and albums from. This can be added to your package upon booking, or you can always order one after your gallery is delivered. For albums, I also do the layout design, so it’s completely customizable. For info and pricing on albums and prints, click here.

Do you charge travel fees?

I am based in Northwest Arkansas and only charge travel fees if the location is more than a two hour drive from Siloam Springs! Anything further than that will be subject to travel fees depending on the circumstances. Luckily, I have learned how to travel very inexpensively and that helps to keep my travel fees low. I also have a few bucket list locations that travel fees will be waived for. Check out these locations to see if you qualify!
