A Note on Investment

The photographs are the only thing from the day you'll still hold in twenty years.

I've always believed wedding photography should feel lasting, not transactional. It's something you live with, revisit, and carry forward over time. For that reason, I take on a limited number of weddings each year, allowing me to be fully present in both the work and the experience.

the Experience

A Considered Approach, from Beginning to End.

Step i. of viii.

Inquire

A short note tells me about you and the special day you’re planning. I respond personally within forty-eight hours to begin the conversation.

Begin with a few words about your day; I will write back with care.

Step ii. of viii.

Connect

A conversation centered around your day, the venues you’re drawn to, the rhythm you imagine, the people closest to you, and the experience you want to create.

Conversations matter more than contracts.

Save the Date

Once everything feels aligned, your date is formally reserved with a signed agreement and retainer. From there, the experience begins, with open communication and supportive energy throughout every step of the process.

Date saved. I’m so excited to work with you!

Engagement

Most collections include an engagement session, thoughtfully designed as an intentional pause before the wedding day. It’s an opportunity to become comfortable in front of the camera, connect naturally, and create imagery that feels effortless and true to you.

Time together in front of the camera matters.

Timeline

A thoughtfully curated wedding-day flow, designed alongside your planner, with space for meaningful moments, effortless portraits, and the natural rhythm of the day to unfold.

Built for the moments, not the schedule.

Wedding Day

A supportive, encouraging presence throughout the day, from details and preparation to the ceremony and final dance. My approach is rooted in documentation rather than direction, allowing moments to unfold naturally while offering guidance when needed.

Supportive energy and guidance on your big day.

Gallery

Your moments, carefully curated and delivered within eight to ten weeks through a private online gallery. Thoughtfully refined and intentionally paced, the final collection is designed to feel cohesive, emotional, and true to the experience itself. Yours to revisit and share with loved ones.

Curated, not catalogued.

Heirlooms

Together, we design a thoughtful collection of fine-art albums, framed portraits, canvases, and custom heirloom pieces, each one carefully curated to preserve the feeling of the day in a tangible, enduring way.

Ailyn was an absolute dream to work with. She is so sweet, fun, funny, and absolutely amazing at her job. Our photos came out exactly how we hoped they would.

I cannot rave about Ailyn enough. Her work is absolutely spectacular and she is an even better person to work with. She made everyone look and feel great at our wedding.

Common Questions

A few things worth knowing.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

My home base is Tampa Bay. I photograph weddings throughout Sarasota and the Florida coast, and I take a limited number of destination weddings worldwide each year. Travel is included in custom proposals; please share your destination when inquiring.

How many weddings do you take each year?

I limit to no more than twenty. The number is intentional, it allows me to be fully present at each, to build a real relationship with you and your planner, and to deliver work that I am genuinely proud of.

Are second photographers included?

A second photographer is included with most collections. I work with a small list of trusted associates whose sensibilities are aligned with my own.

How long until I receive my photographs?

A curated edit is delivered via your private gallery within eight to ten weeks. Albums follow once you have selected your favorite frames, typically within a further six to eight weeks of approval.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. A retainer is required to reserve your date, with the balance distributed across payments leading up to the wedding. The schedule is outlined in your proposal and personalized to your timeline.

If your wedding is the kind of day you'll want to remember slowly, we should talk.
