Photos that remind you how you felt.

honest and artful storytelling photography

At the end of the day, your wedding photos will be your legacy - the heirlooms you will pass down on for generations - and I want them to be amazing, beautiful, and 100% YOU and your story. I want to give you photos that reflect your relationship, capture you and your family and friends, and those little moments that matter the most to you.

When you look back at your wedding photos in 30 years, I want you to remember exactly how you felt. I’ll capture your tears, your intimate glances, you and your friends breaking it down on the dance floor, and those stunning portraits of you two that you’ll show everyone and go “DAYUM LOOK HOW HOT WE ARE.”

What I bring to the table

1. EXPERIENCE

Having photographed over 1000+ weddings, elopements, couples, and families over the course of 13 years, I’ve truly seen it all. I am highly experienced in shooting and adapting in any situation and working with all personality types. Being trusted with your memories is a huge deal to me and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

2. CREATIVITY

I am inspired by the world around me and the people and connections within it. My best work comes from clients who put their trust in me and my vision. With a background in fine art film along with a deep passion for capturing life’s emotions, I want to give you art that reminds you exactly how you felt.

3. care

I really mean it when I say that I truly care about you. I pour my entire heart and soul into everything and everyone that I photograph. I believe that photos should be personal and emotional and I believe that it is the love and care I put into it that allows me to achieve that.

My approach

Behind every moment, every relationship, and every photograph is a story. I believe that each of those stories are unique and should be captured authentically.

My goal with photography is to give you honest photos that remind you exactly how you felt. How do I get there?

➊ Get to know you! I want to know who are you both individually and together. How do you like to spend your time together? What is it about each other that makes your heart flutter?

➋ Guide you through every step of the process leading up to your day. Make sure you and I both are as prepared as possible and that you have everything you need to feel stress-free. I’ll work with you on creating the perfect photo timeline that is built around your priorities for the day.

➌ It’s photo time! I’ll help you feel comfortable so you can focus on loving on each other and celebrating with your friends and family. I’ll guide you during your couples photos and capture all of the moments as they unfold.

I promise…

You’re not just another client in my schedule. Your photos are a big deal to me, and I want to get to know all about you and your partner and your plans for the big day. I want to know what’s most important to you, and capture your wedding exactly as you would if you could clone yourself, learn photography, and do it yourself. Most importantly, I want your photos to be easy, fun, and 100% YOU. Whether you’re outgoing party animals, prefer nights in with Netflix and wine, or a lil mixture of both, I’ll wanna know how I can best serve you (that includes having a fully stocked mini-bar in my camera bag to loosen things up) and capture your personalities exactly as you are while having the best time ever!

…YOUR WEDDING DAY IS AS UNIQUE AS YOU

…to show up prepared

We’ll chat a ton before your wedding so I’m up to speed on anything and everything. Any important relatives you don’t get to see often? Send me their pic. Sentimental little details like your mother’s ring? I’ll capture it. I’ll be there early day-of to make sure I scope out the best photo spots according to the lighting and set up of that day.

…TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU

From pre-booking to delivery, you can always expect great communication from me. Need engagement outfit suggestions? Done. Just picked your dress? I want to see it, text me! Need any vendor recommendations? I got you. I’ll be there to guide you through it all.

…to invest in you because you invested in me.

I am constantly upgrading my gear, technology, systems, and education so that your wedding is in the best hands. I have solid back-up systems in place so that your wedding photos are safe should the apocalypse happen.

…to give you the best photos ever

I will give you photos that you can look back on in 30 years and remember exactly how you felt. Photos that you can show your grandkids one day and say “DAYUMN LOOK HOW HOT WE ARE.” Photos that capture your legacy and that you are proud to hang on your walls.

“When it came to our wedding, I wouldn’t have trusted anyone but Tida to capture those moments. The day went by so quickly, I legit sobbed seeing the photos for the first time because the memories came rushing back. I’ll forever treasure the moments she captured of us and our loved ones. You can feel the love and laughter in every photo.”

FAQs

  • I don’t believe in holding your memories hostage! I comb through all the photos and pick the best ones that tell the story of your day. On average, I deliver approx. 50-100 photos per hour of coverage.

  • Think you’re “awkward in front of the camera”? Well I got news for you – pretty much everyone tells me this! But don’t you worry! I give tons of direction throughout your shoot, you’ll never be left standing like two stick figures who’ve never met each other before. I want your photos to be reflective of YOU, so I make sure I get to know you a bit beforehand so I can read your energy as a couple and help guide you into poses that best reflect your relationship dynamic. I’ve got dad jokes and tricks for days (and maybe a little liquid courage in my bag) that’ll bring out your personalities and make you go “OMG we look SO HOT and not awkward at all!” By the end of our shoot, you’ll be laughing so hard and having so much fun you’ll forget you ever worried about feeling awkward.

  • My pricing is based on number of hours and not number of guests. Pricing is the same whether it’s a big wedding, micro-wedding, or elopement.

  • If I haven’t, it’s not a problem! I always arrive early on your wedding day before my scheduled start time in order to scope the place out and plan all the best photo spots!

  • Travel is included for weddings in the U.S.! Contact me for a custom quote for international travel.
