Why I am Different

So I know you’re sitting there and you’ve probably got tons of tabs open on your computer have a bunch of photographers and you’re probably thinking how in the heck am I even supposed to decide who to choose?! Here in Iowa there’s no shortage of talented photographers but let me ease the overwhelm and share a little bit of what I offer to my couples. After seven years of being a professional wedding photographer I have found that it is so important that we are both the perfect fit for each other. We’re gonna be spending a ton of time together getting to know each other and And spend 8+ hours on your wedding day. So here are a few things that I offer my couples and if these strike a chord with you then we will totally LOVE working together! 

Go-To Organizer 

When I am your wedding photographer, I don’t just show up on the day and take photos my job starts way before the actual wedding day. From helping you create your perfect wedding day team by sending you vendor referrals, to giving you examples of full wedding days broken down! Not only do I help couples with timelines but I hope you build your wedding day that feels most authentically like you guys! Stressed about family formals? Girl I got you!! I have a list and guides for all of the small and big details in between throughout our time from the engagement photos to your wedding day! 

Authentic Directions 

Think that you might feel awkward in front of the camera? Well newsflash, You Will!! But good news, thats A-Ok because everyone feels kinda weird in front of the camera at first! 
I am not that fly on the wall photographer who told you to just act natural together. I avoid those “what the heck do I do with my hands?” moments and give my couples authentic direction. During engagement session I will teach you some of my core posing messages that are going to get you guys to look natural bring out real laughter and even incorporate some fun silly movements that will make your photos make you look bomb but also look exactly like you guys!   

Heirloom Keepsakes 

So I think it’s safe to say that nobody wants or intends for their wedding photos to just die on Facebook or as a jpeg file on their computer. I know most people think “Oh we’ll get our photos printed!”, but how many of us actually do that? (I’m a photographer and even I am guilty of this.) This is why I think it’s so important to offer quality artwork and wedding albums to all my couples. Albums are my favorite way to preserve your wedding day as it tells your story! I have lots of examples that I can show you of these beautiful heirloom wedding albums, but just know that these are not those crappy flimsy little books that you can order on Shutterfly. An amazing Metal Print or Wedding Album are always included in my collections!
