Here’s what to expect

The Intrepid Visuals Photography Experience

a seamless experience

Wedding photography is about more than just price and picture count. It’s about capturing the moments that matter most. I’m here to ensure your day is beautifully documented, leaving you with memories that reflect the love and joy you felt.

Peace of mind & immense value

My greatest gift to you is peace of mind. With me by your side, you won’t have to worry about your photos. Building trust and real connections with my couples allows me to capture authentic moments and create stunning, timeless images.

When you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to feel the joy and love as if it were yesterday. Each page of your album should bring those memories to life, giving you something beautiful and tangible to cherish every day.

Your wedding isn’t about the details,

It’s about celebrating your love with the people who matter most. I’m here to capture the moments that truly make your day unforgettable.

My Philosophy

Creating real relationships & genuine trust

I believe that people are always the priority, and your story deserves to be told beautifully. And when I say people, I mean you.

This means taking the time to understand what truly matters to you.

This means building trust so you can enjoy your day without worrying about your photos.

This means giving you peace of mind that your memories will live on in a timeless album for generations.

If you’re looking for a photographer who simply shows up to take posed photos, I’m probably not the right fit. If you’re searching for the lowest price, that’s not me either.

Does this sound like what you’re looking for?

I photograph a limited number of weddings each year to ensure I can build real relationships and genuine trust with my couples. This allows me to give you the time and attention you deserve, so you can have an unforgettable experience.

Wedding Day Strategy

Authentic moments & stunning imagery

I do things a little differently. My goal is to create images that truly reflect who you are. In 10 years, I want you to look back and feel the same love you felt on your wedding day.

I won’t tell you to fake laugh

Your partner will make you laugh plenty

I won’t tell you to smile & look at the camera

I’ll guide you to make sure you feel comfortable, and then let the natural moments unfold. You’ll be focused on your partner, not on posing for a photo.

I won’t spend 30 minutes on one shot trying to make it “perfect”

The perfectly imperfect details of your day are what give it personality, and I want your authentic joy and connection to come through your photos.

I won’t put you in any super awkward poses

I’ll pose you just enough to be comfortable, and let you and your partner’s personality do the rest.

There are two ways that I approach a wedding day,

Authentic Moments

I focus on capturing your wedding day in a candid, photojournalistic style. This lets the day unfold naturally, bringing out the most authentic moments.

I pay attention to all the little details that might otherwise be forgotten—the look on your mom’s face when she finishes buttoning your dress, the way you smile when he kisses your cheek, your dad’s hug before you walk down the aisle, your grandma’s tears as you pass by on your way to your first look, and the quiet “I love you” as the sun sets. These moments will only become more meaningful with time, serving as lasting reminders of the love you share.”

Stunning Imagery

There are special moments during your day when it’s just you, your partner, and me—and we’ll create some truly amazing images together. And if you’re thinking, ‘We’re awkward in front of the camera,’ don’t worry! Every couple says the same thing, but by the time we finish your engagement session, you’ll feel confident and excited about how your photos turn out. I shoot in a way that lets you be yourselves, without worrying about the small details. With just the right amount of guidance, you won’t have to wonder ‘what do I do with my hands?’ I want this to be as easy and enjoyable as possible—I promise, you can’t mess it up!

Here’s the best part,

When you blend the authentic moments from your wedding with the stunning, magazine-worthy portraits we create together, you’ll have a beautiful way to tell the story of your day. Especially when these memories come to life in your wedding album, you’ll find yourself revisiting your photos every day, overwhelmed with joy as you relive those incredible moments.

That’s why, beyond the digital files, every couple I work with receives a timeless heirloom wedding album—something that will last for generations and keep your memories alive.”

Does this sound like what you’re looking for?

With me by your side, you won’t have to worry about your photos. Your images will tell a timeless, irreplaceable story—one that brings your emotions to life and creates a lasting legacy of your love. You’ll have authentic, intimate, and timeless photos that remind you every day of who you love and why.
