Service Areas
Houston, Galveston & anywhere your story drifts.
Iโm based in South Houston and I work it all: city lofts, backyard vows, courthouse โletโs-just-do-this,โ Galveston dunes, and little chapels with creaky floors. Micro-weddings and elopements are my jamโintimate, with final images polished in your choice of my signature edit.
If youโre planning a Houston micro wedding, a Galveston elopement, or a destination wedding in Texas (Austin, Hill Country, Marfa, Big Bend, San Antonio, Dallas) โ Iโm there. I also travel for U.S. elopements and destination weddings: New Orleans, Mexico, Colorado, the Pacific Northwestโyou name it. Tell me the coordinates; Iโll bring the camera, extra batteries, and the hype.
Travel within ~100 miles of Houston is already covered. For farther adventures, I keep travel rates simpleโor we can build a custom quote.

01. THE BEGINNING
where it Starts...
You reach out. I listen. Booking is never just a transactionโitโs an opening, your way of saying yes to letting me into your story. From that very first message, I want you to feel held, like youโve found someone who truly sees you.
A retainer secures your date, but more than that, it begins our relationship. Youโll receive a tailored welcome guide, thoughtful planning resources, and the peace of knowing your memories are protected. This is the first page of our shared story, not the last email before silence.
WONDERING IF IโM
THE RIGHT FIT?
Questions, answered
Do you help with timelines?
Yes. Weโll build a flow that protects calm, lines up light, and leaves room for real life. Golden hour if we canโalways worth it. Iโll also share a sample timeline and tips from my Wedding Guide so no moment feels rushed.
Weโre awkward. Can you pose/direct?
I guide when it helps and back off when itโs yours. Think prompts, movement, and a little chaos youโll love later. Itโs never stiff posingโyouโll feel like yourselves, not a yearbook photo.
How fast do we see photos?
Sneak peeks land within ~48 hours so you have something to share right away. Your full gallery (600โ900+ for a full-day wedding) arrives in about 6 weeks, edited with care.
What if we need to reschedule?
You can move your date once with no penalty if itโs at least 60 days out. Closer than that, a new contract + retainer are needed since Iโm holding that date just for you.
Do you travel?
YesโTexas & U.S. elopements. Travel within ~100 miles of Houston is simple; beyond that, Iโll create a custom quote. International celebrations are always a yes, too.
RAW files?
Nope. Your magic lives in the finished edit. What I deliver is polished, cinematic, and ready to print or frame.
What happens if something goes wrong?
If an emergency or unsafe situation ever prevents me from being there, I have a trusted network of photographers with a similar style Iโll call first. Worst-case, youโll receive a full refund.
03. THE PRELUDE
Before the vows...
this part is about weaving trust.
Maybe itโs an engagement session at golden hour, maybe itโs coffee and conversation about family dynamics, or maybe itโs a few cozy emails that ease your nerves. These arenโt โextras.โ Theyโre how we build a rhythm so that when your wedding arrives, I feel like your best friend with a camera, not just a vendor.
โShe made me feel incredibly comfortable right away and the direction was easy to follow.โ
04. THE DAY
the heartbeat of it all.
On your wedding day, I become both director and invisible observer. Iโll guide when the moment calls for structure, but Iโll also slip into the background when it belongs only to you.
- notice the quiet in-betweens
- capture cinematic portraits and raw candids alike
- ground the room when the timeline feels overwhelming
05. THE DELIVERY
YOUR STORY IN HAND.
Within 48 hours, a handful of previews land so the afterglow doesnโt fade. Soon after, your full gallery arrives in a private temp galleryโeasy to save, share, and relive. Want something you can hold? We can craft heirloom albums and fine-art printsโpieces that live on coffee tables and in family hands long after the champagne is gone.
