The wedding day, told true.
Documentary-leaning coverage from get-ready to the last sweaty song. Roughly 30 weddings a year — I keep it small so each one gets the attention it deserves.
The whole thing, spelled out.
Eight to twelve hours
Day-of coverage tailored to your timeline. Most days run get-ready through one hour into open dancing.
Second photographer
On the Loft & Up tier. Doubles your angles during ceremony and gives you both partners covered during get-ready.
Sneak peek week
~30 finished images within 7 days so you have something to share while the high is fresh.
Full gallery in 4–6 weeks
600–900 hand-edited frames in a private online gallery, downloadable in print and web sizes.
Print release
Print as much as you want, wherever you want. No upsell prints store.
Engagement session
Included on the Loft tier and up. A 90-min walk-around — best way to make the wedding morning feel familiar.
Get-ready
Both partners. Quiet observational stuff while hair and makeup happen.
First look
Optional. Big believer in these — the rest of the day is calmer when you've already had your moment.
Ceremony
Wide, mid, tight, repeat. I work with two bodies so I never miss a face.
Cocktail + portraits
Family formals run fast (15-min sweep), then partner portraits in good light.
Reception
Toasts, dancing, late-night chaos. I shoot through about an hour into open dancing, then quietly bow out.

John shot our wedding like he'd known us for years. Every time we look at the gallery we find a new picture of a moment we didn't even know was happening.
About weddings specifically.
How many weddings do you take a year? + Read
I cap around 30 so I can put real time into each one. I usually book 9–12 months out for fall, 4–6 for winter, but it varies — always worth asking.
Do you travel? + Read
Often. About a third of my weddings are outside Ohio. Travel is billed at cost — flights, lodging, and any car rental — and added transparently to the quote, not buried.
What happens if you're sick? + Read
I have a network of three photographers I trust completely with my own work. In nine years I've had to call one in twice, both for the flu. You'd be in great hands.
