Baltimore Maryland Wedding Photographer

When did you start photography? 

I started in 2013. At the time, I was a teacher assistant pursuing my Master's in School Counseling at Loyola, and my husband and I found out we were expecting twins. A friend who was a full-time wedding photographer encouraged me to start shooting weddings since I was already doing family and engagement sessions. From there, I invested in my equipment and education, teaching myself everything from Lightroom to business management (even dealing with the Comptroller of Maryland).  

 

What is your style?

I have four full wedding galleries you can browse—real weddings, not just the “best of the best” images. I want you to look through them and tell me what you think my style is! Sometimes I’m candid (that dumb term "photojournalistic") and documentarian, but other times, I need to traditionally pose you, your family, and your bridal party to get the necessary shots.  

 

What happens if you can't be at my wedding?
This has only happened once—in 2022, when I got COVID. I kept my client in the loop the entire time and even called her at 10 PM the night I found out to personally let her know. I immediately hired an AMAZING photographer from Philly to cover the wedding, and they were absolutely thrilled with everything! There was no obligation on them to do anything—I handled it all.
If something were to happen again (which I don’t expect), your contract guarantees that I will provide a competent, professional photographer with a similar artistic style. I have a strong network of photographers I can call on if needed, so you’ll be completely taken care of.

 

Do you have a second photographer? Who is it? 

If Brooke (my usual second shooter) isn’t available, I’ll hire another competent professional photographer with a style and skill level similar to mine. The second photographer I bring will be just as capable, so if anything unexpected happens on your wedding day, you’ll have TWO experienced photographers covering everything! I also second shoot for other photographers from time to time—we have a strong network in the Baltimore photography community.  

 

Do you bring backup equipment? 

Absolutely! I shoot with two Canon R6 cameras at every wedding, with two Canon 5D Mark IVs as backups. I also bring extensive lighting equipment to handle any lighting situation, from dark receptions to moody portraits. I typically carry 5-6 lenses and have two cameras on me at all times, so I don’t have to run back to my bag if something happens to one.  

My cameras also record to TWO memory cards simultaneously, so if one card fails (thankfully, it never has), I have a backup with all of your images. With over 400 weddings under my belt, I’ve worked out all my backup solutions—losing gear is one thing, but losing irreplaceable memories is not an option.  

 

How many weddings have you shot? 

As of March 2025, I’ve photographed over 400 weddings and elopements. I take on about 30-40 weddings per year but usually end up shooting closer to 50.  

 

Do you have insurance?

Uhm, duh. Hahaha. Every wedding photographer and vendor should have insurance. I carry $2 million in liability coverage through State Farm and can provide proof of insurance if your venue requires it.  

 

Is there an extra charge if you need to stay at my wedding longer?

It depends. If your sparkler exit or whatever runs 10-15 minutes over, I won’t charge extra. Additional coverage hours beyond that are $695 per hour.  

 

When will I see my images?

Contractually, between 8-10 weeks. But if you check my reviews on WeddingWire, you’ll see I usually deliver in 2-3 weeks (sometimes even sooner). I do all my editing in-house and dedicate Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to editing so I can maintain some personal time with my family. Each wedding takes me about 10 hours to edit, and I want to make sure every shot is perfect for you!
