Wedding Portfolio

Beautiful, authentic, and story-telling wedding photography in Southern Oregon and beyond.

Every wedding is special and unique!

You have worked hard for this and want memories that last a lifetime. You don't want a 4-hour portrait session that takes you away from the guests that have shown up to support you as a couple. Photography is important but not the main reason for your day. So, embrace the day and the moments as they fly by. I'll just be capturing your story as it unfolds!

Wedding photography takes me right back to the joyful anticipation and butterflies in my stomach from my own wedding, and I easily join in with your excitement on YOUR BIG DAY! I just love the opportunity to tell YOUR love story. I am honored by every single family that trusts me to capture their most special moments. It is a sacred gift to know and be known. There is something magical about authentic, well-crafted, and genuine images that will last generations and preserve the moments we are grateful for today, moments that we want to store up and treasure for a lifetime!

Step 2 - Reserve your date

Once we figure out if it is a good fit, let's get your wedding date on my calendar! Every wedding package requires a 50% retainment fee to reserve your day.

Step 3 - Engagement Session

Engagement sessions are included with each package. These are some of my favorite sessions and really allow us to get to know each other before your big day. They are fun, laid back, and can be done in any of the gorgeous locations of the Rogue Valley.

Step 4 - Relax and enjoy your Special Day!

Your wedding day will be here before you know it. Relax! I will give you lots of guidance, and we'll work together to capture all of the beautiful moments. You will walk away with images that tell your story for years to come.

Let's get started!

A Grateful Moments Wedding is for you if...

You want real images that tell your story.

Moments happen. They pass us by. You as a couple shares a connection that is unique to you. This is what I aim to capture at every wedding. While we will use poses to get us started, the majority of the day will be aimed at using action and activity to document your very special love story.

You want images that make you feel something.

Emotion takes us back to the moment. We remember and relive. Every wedding day memory is precious, and it is the connection and emotion that make a beautiful image.

You want an all-inclusive experience.

Every wedding is all-inclusive. That means that you don't have to choose which photos you want to keep. I want you to have all of the beautiful moments that we worked together to capture!
