🫢 For the couples who hate being the center of attention…
good news - you don’t need to perform for us to get beautiful photos and video.

✅ You don’t need to know where to look.
✅ You don’t need to know what to do with your hands.
✅ You don’t need to hurt your jaw from fake smiling all day.

All you need is us.

We help with the things you don’t realize you’ll need help with.

-Like how to breathe slower when the nerves hit.
-When to pause for presence instead of rushing to the next thing.
-To guide when you need it.
-To anchor you when things feel fast and emotions are high

(We promise, we’ve seen it all.)

But what we *won’t* do?
❌ We won’t overpose you.
❌ We won’t expect you to fake-laugh or fake-feel.
❌ We won’t force you to be unpaid models and actors.

We’re not here for performance.
We’re here for presence.

All the awkwardness you’re worried about dissolves when you feel safe.

And that’s what we’re really here to offer:
→ Safe space
→ Emotional guidance
→ Photos that look like memory—NOT like an over-posed magazine

There’s this strange pressure that creeps into wedding days—the kind that whispers you should be feeling something more than you are.

That if you’re not crying during your vows, something must be off.
Or that if you do cry, you should explain why.

I’ve seen it all—people brushing away tears with a rushed apology, or glancing around nervously when emotion doesn’t show up the way they expected.

And underneath it all is this awful fear…
Fear that they’re somehow doing their own wedding wrong.

You don’t want a curator as a photographer.

A curator controls the moment.
Moves you like a prop.
Chases “perfect.”
Says things like “look this way,” “do that again,” “can you adjust your tie for the 1000th time?”

But it’s not for you. It’s for the content. The aesthetic. The image.

That’s not me or Erin. It’ll never be.

We’re here to observe first. To notice what’s real. To let it unfold.

And then - only when something’s in the way of you being fully seen - we’ll step in.
Not to polish. But to protect.

To fix the flyaway hair you’ll wish you caught.
To adjust the light so you don’t disappear.
To gently guide -
not for the shot, but for *you*

I’m here to make sure you’re remembered truthfully, beautifully, as you are.

And sometimes that means stepping back.
Sometimes it means stepping in.
But it always means putting *you first.*

That’s the difference.

I’ve been sitting with this lately. How there’s this difference, this gap, between documenting what happened and recognizing what it meant.

And when I look at the kinds of moments that make people pause, that make *me* pause too - the ones that end up printed or bookmarked or cried over…

They’re the photos where something honest happened and someone like me was there who saw it for what it was.

I notice when the shoulders drop after the ceremony.
I notice your slow, subtle exhale when the nerves melt and the realness lands.
I notice that little look you share with your partner when you think no one is watching.
That glance that says “We did it and I’m so happy.”

None of that is performative.
And that’s exactly what the camera is there to notice.

These images exist and have meaning
because they’re true.

And I think when a photographer really sees you…

not just looks at you, but SEES you

The photos will always reveal the truth.
It’s noticeable and it’s felt.

That’s what I keep coming back to.
That’s what matters most to me.

The simplicity of truth.

Thanks for reading my ramble ❤️

Having no cap on the length of a wedding film we make for you is DEEPLY freeing.

Because a time limit feels like a rule. Like deciding ahead of time how much of your story is “enough.”

And your story doesn’t fit neatly into five minutes. Or ten.

Some moments breathe slowly. Like the hush before you walk down the aisle. The way your dad keeps clearing his throat because he can’t find words. Your grandma’s quiet gaze as you slip on your dress.

Other moments burst with laughter and noise. Your friends screaming on the dance floor, your partner’s voice cracking in the vows, someone spontaneously giving a toast you’ll remember forever.

None of that deserves to be trimmed down just to fit a runtime.

No cap on the length means we’re not deciding ahead of time which memories stay and which get left behind. It means your wedding film can hold all of it:

the loud and the quiet,
the messy and the magical,
And in this clip, the slow and meaningful.

It’s freedom. Freedom for you, for us, and for the story itself.

Because you deserve a film that doesn’t feel like a highlight reel. You deserve a living, breathing memory that lets you step back into the day, as it truly was.

Not performed. Not rushed. But honest, real, and deeply yours.

What sounds better? Spending an hour standing around taking photos, or going on a date doing something that’s special to you?

We’ve known Chrissy for a long time, and in case you don’t know, her florals are INCREDIBLE. And not too long ago, I met Meghan when she was assisting Chrissy at a styled proposal. I watched something so sweet happen that day. The smile and laughter I had seen Chrissy give away so freely to others was being freely given back to her by Meghan. They were absolute sunshine together.

So for their engagement session, I knew we HAD to include florals, and I thought it’d be so sweet to have them make a bouquet together during the session. It gave them something to do other than the typical lame engagement session “make out for an hour, stand awkwardly, and look at me” poses. You can laugh, tell jokes, smile naturally, and lean into each other, all without me forcing you into a pose. You’ll spend an hour having so much fun and feeling natural from the beginning to end. And what’s amazing is that you’ll connect with the photos on such a strong emotional level because every photo overflows with authenticity. That’s what I love to do for every session.

Does that type of session sound more appealing to you? 👀 It definitely does to me! Let’s plan some activities. Bring some props that represent you and your relationship. Let’s pick a location that tells a part of your story. Not only will you be more comfortable, you’ll also have more fun, and you’ll love the photos so much more! They’ll be authentic, speaking to who you two are.

If you’re reading that and thinking, “HECK YES, THIS IS WHAT I WANT,” message me soon because my summer is filling up quick!!! 🎉

In another life, this moment would have been missed if it weren’t for one lesson we thankfully learned very early.

Listen first.

When we met with with Stephanie and Hale, we didn’t spend our time talking about how great we are. How great of a choice choosing us would be. How we can make their wedding perfect and beautiful. If anything, I feel like we barely talked about ourselves or what we do.

Instead, we listened. We asked questions and listened. We didn’t listen just to say something back so we can be like “ah perfect, here’s how I’m the perfect fit.” No. We listened to see an image of their hearts, their fears, and their desires. And then we said back what we heard.

We learned about their relationship with each other, but just as importantly, we learned about their relationship with God and their personal stories of redemption through Him. Hale talked about how he cries every Sunday through worship just being grateful for the redemption God has brought him through with Stephanie. When talking about his wedding, he said he wants people to touch an aspect of the Holy Spirit through the testimony of their relationship. He wants to plant seeds of hope and faith in trust in the Lord. Stephanie brought up that she didn’t invite a lot of people to her baptism, but their ceremony will be like a representation of a baptism, a public expression of their faith where everyone will watch and understand how God brought them to Himself and to each other.

We went into the wedding day intentionally looking for moments like these. We allowed room for them and encouraged them. No stress, no rush, take your time, you can even open up your Bible if you want. And when she opened up to John 4, this moment happened. The woman at the well, a woman who is lost and finds hope in Jesus in a moment, a woman who Stephanie relates to when thinking of her redemption story. And the emotion overflowed.

If you want to imprint feelings in a photo like an emotional time capsule, learn to listen. If you want to shoot every wedding as if you’re seeing the day through your bride or groom’s eyes, learn to listen.

Your couples will thank you.
