INQUIRE FOR DETAILS

And guess what? “Day one” is today! I don’t believe you should have to wait until your wedding day arrives to receive high-end service from your wedding photographer. I believe that should begin right now. 

From my inquiry response to my gallery delivery and everything in between, I’m drawn to the way client experience, and how the smallest details come together to create something beautiful and rich. And by taking on a very limited number of weddings each year, I ensure each one of my CRP couples receives nothing short of my very best, no matter what.







My special blend of sincerity, simplicity, and sophistication will provide you with the experience of your dreams with photos to match.

Possibly the most important piece of my experience, this in-depth questionnaire will disclose more details about the wedding day and most importantly, your photography preferences so I know what to expect and can deliver everything you’ve asked for and more! And by doing this well before the big day, we get it out of the way before things really start to get busy!

the crp experience

Just like planning your next road trip with your honey, preparation is everything. By checking the weather, (over)packing the right outfits and strategically choosing your activities, you allow yourself to fully enjoy your adventure without worry.

The CRP Wedding Experience is no different! By diving deeply into who you are, what matters most to you, and how you’d like to see your vision documented, I can capture every moment to perfection without interrupting your special day with a barrage of questions.

Do you want an intimate first look without any onlookers? We’ll determine that in advance, and I’ll stop at nothing to make sure nobody peeks! Are you nervous Great-grandma Jean is going to sneak off to cocktail hour before family portraits? We’ll talk about it beforehand and build your family shot list with her photos first!

I’ll ask all the right questions before you even think of them to uncover what’s most important to you.

sounds like a dream, right?

let's make it a reality!
