Green Bay, Wisconsin Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Choosing your wedding photographer is so much more than ticking off a vendor from your to-do list. This person will be with you during some of the most intimate, emotional, and joyful moments of your life. From teary-eyed vows to wild dance floor moves, your photographer isn’t just there to snap a few pretty pictures — they’re there to preserve the magic of your love story in a way that feels true to you.
So, how do you know if a wedding photographer is the right one for you? Let’s talk through what really matters when making this decision — from personality and vibe to editing style and beyond — and how I might just be the person you’re looking for.
1. Look for a Personality You Click With
Let’s be real: your photographer is going to be by your side for most of your wedding day — probably more than any other vendor. That means you’ll want someone whose energy makes you feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely happy to be around.
Some questions to ask yourself:
- Do they seem like someone I could easily talk to?
- Will they help ease my nerves if I’m feeling stressed?
- Can they bring the fun when I need to loosen up?
That’s where I come in. I bring an upbeat, fun, and friendly vibe to every wedding I photograph. I believe that laughter is magic, and creating a laid-back environment is key to capturing the most authentic moments. Whether I’m hyping you up during portraits, wrangling your wild wedding party for group shots, or tearing up behind the lens during your vows (yes, I’ve been known to cry at weddings), I’m all in with heart and humor.
Your experience matters just as much as your photos — and I’m here to make both unforgettable.
2. Understand the Style of Photography You Love
When it comes to photography style, there’s no right or wrong — only what feels like you. Some people love dark and moody tones, others prefer light and airy, and some fall in love with bright, punchy colors. So how do you decide?
Here are a few things to think about:
- Does the photographer’s portfolio reflect the mood and aesthetic you envision?
- Are the edits consistent across different weddings and lighting conditions?
- Do the photos make you feel something?
My style is best described as earthy, dreamy, romantic, and true-to-color. I’m all about capturing that soft, golden light, those genuine in-between moments, and the beauty of your day exactly as it was — just with a little extra magic. I want your photos to feel timeless, not trendy. That means skin tones that look like actual skin, colors that don’t scream “Instagram filter 2021,” and a vibe that feels effortless and organic.
You’ll be able to look back on your photos years from now and feel the same butterflies you did on your wedding day — and that’s everything to me.

3. Ask About the Experience — Not Just the Photos
Sure, the final photos are what you’ll hang on your wall and gush over with your grandkids, but the experience of working with your photographer is just as important.
Here’s what a great experience should include:
- Clear and consistent communication
- A stress-free photo timeline
- Support throughout the planning process
- Confidence that your photographer has your back
From the moment you inquire to the day I deliver your full gallery (and beyond), I’ve got you. I’ll help you build a custom timeline that works for your unique day, scout the best photo spots, give gentle posing guidance (without making you feel stiff or staged), and capture all the big moments and the little ones you didn’t even know were happening.
I like to think of myself as your unofficial hype girl / timeline ninja / wedding day BFF with a camera in hand. I’m there for the tears, the champagne pops, the first looks, the golden hour portraits — and every spontaneous laugh in between.
4. Don’t Forget About the Details
There are a few less glamorous (but equally important!) things to ask about when choosing your wedding photographer:
Contracts & Pricing
Make sure your photographer has a clear contract that outlines what’s included, the payment schedule, delivery timeline, and backup plans. Transparency is key — and I keep things crystal clear so there are no surprises.
Backup Gear & Contingency Plans
I shoot with dual memory card slots (hello, instant backups!), bring multiple camera bodies, and have emergency plans in place — just in case.
Turnaround Time
Let’s be honest — you’re going to be dying to see your photos! I deliver sneak peeks within a few days and your full gallery within 6-8 weeks, depending on the season. I want you to relive your day while the glow is still fresh.
Albums & Prints
Your story deserves to be told in more than just a folder on your computer. I offer handcrafted albums and print options that turn your memories into tangible, heirloom pieces you’ll treasure forever.
5. Trust Your Gut
At the end of the day, go with your gut when choosing your wedding photographer. When you meet or chat with a photographer and feel that spark of excitement — that “omg, yes!” moment — trust it. You deserve to feel 100% confident and comfortable with the person capturing your love story.
And if you’re reading this thinking, “This sounds like the kind of experience I want” — then I’d love to connect with you.
Let’s Make Magic Together
When choosing your Green Bay, Wisconsin wedding photographer, keep in mind that I believe that your wedding photos should feel like you — not a photoshoot, not a performance, but a beautifully honest reflection of the love, joy, and magic you share. I’ll be there with a big smile, a calm presence, a keen eye, and a whole lot of heart to make sure every moment is captured with care.
If you’re dreaming of earthy, romantic, and timeless wedding photography, and you want a photographer who feels more like a friend than a vendor — I’m your girl.
