My Approach
✓ Your wedding day is not a photoshoot. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime moment that you deserve to be present in. It’s my job to document those little moments without pulling you away from them.
✓ I want to prioritize your story and give you a stress-free experience. To accomplish that, I offer unlimited communication with all my clients. I am always available to chat through ideas, concerns, or make tweaks to the timeline.
✓ My photography style blends natural, documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial posing for timeless, artistic images. With a creative background, I’m always inspired to find unique angles, thoughtful compositions, and meaningful details that bring your wedding or elopement gallery to life.
✓ I specialize in photographing small weddings and elopements with under 100 guests, focusing on couples who want their day to feel intentional and meaningful. From a courthouse elopement with your closest friends to an intimate wedding at a cozy Nebraska Airbnb surrounded by family, I’m here to document your story in a natural and authentic way.
Every wedding is different, and your photography coverage should be too. Whether you're planning a full day of celebration or an intimate, streamlined event, I offer Nebraska wedding photography packages designed to match the size and pace of your day, not the other way around.
Full-day coverage is ideal for weddings with a traditional timeline: getting ready, ceremony, formal portraits, and reception, all documented start to finish. It's the best fit if you want your entire day told as one continuous story, without watching the clock.
Half-day coverage is built for smaller, more intimate celebrations. Think fewer guests, a simpler timeline, or a wedding focused on just the key moments rather than the whole day. It's a popular choice for couples who want beautiful, documentary-style photos without full-day coverage.
Not sure which fits your wedding? Every package includes documentary-style photography, true-to-life edits, and travel throughout Nebraska at no additional cost. So, no matter which option you choose, you're covered.
Please fill out a contact form for more information on pricing and what is included in each package. I would love to talk with you about what fits your wedding vision!

FAQ
-
It depends on your guest count, timeline, and how much of the day you want documented. If you're not sure, reach out and I'll help you figure out the best fit.
-
My style is documentary and true-to-life. I focus on candid, prompted moments rather than stiff, posed shots, so your gallery feels like your actual day, not a performance.
-
Full-day packages include a complimentary engagement session in Nebraska. It's a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.
You are more than welcome to add on an engagement session to a half-day or elopement package for an additional cost.
-
Yes! I photograph weddings throughout Nebraska, and all travel costs — including mileage, gas, and hotels — are included at no additional charge.
Weddings or elopements outside of Nebraska would include travel costs.
-
Full-day coverage documents your entire wedding, from getting ready through reception. Half-day coverage is designed for smaller weddings (50 guests or fewer) with a simpler timeline, focused on the key moments rather than the full day.
-
Coverage ranges from 2 hours for elopements up to 10 hours for full wedding-day coverage, depending on the package you choose. Most full weddings are comfortably covered in 8 hours.
