Hi! I’m Connie. A down-to-earth goofball and your wedding photographer.
Your wedding photos aren’t the only thing that’s important to me. I run my business in a way that honors diversity & inclusion, and I believe in love in all its forms. I also work towards cultivating a safe space for LGBTQIA+ communities and BIPOC. I’m here to celebrate you, as you are, and your love, as it is.
capturing the smiles, teary eyes & everything in between
I make your personalities shine bright in your wedding photos. I love capturing the real and natural. I capture your personalities and how you interact with each other (and your guests). Candid photos have a special place in my heart because they show an honesty in the moment that you don’t get from staged photos. And don’t worry, if you want those magazine-worthy editoral photos, I love to incorporate moody vibes & artistic flair into my work too, if that’s your thing. I can guide you through it all.
I have your back.
The focus should be on you and about you having a good time. I’ll keep things light and easy-going for everyone, while getting shit done. I know the photography timeline like the back of my hand, so you don’t need to. On a long day (especially if it’s hot out), I’ll keep the wedding crew engaged, so we get all of the shots that you want, with time to relax.
I’ve been doing this long enough to know that sometimes unexpected things happen. Don’t worry, I’m always one step ahead. Rain in the forecast? No problem, I have two cute clear umbrellas in my trunk for us to venture out (if you’re up for it). I bring good vibes & good energy to your wedding day, and I’ll help you get through anything.
“What do I do with my hands?”
No awkward cookie-cutter poses here. I’m here to keep you relaxed, having fun, and laughing your booties off the entire time. And yes, when it comes to taking photos, I can tell you what to do with your hands.
Not just a wedding photographer, but also your wedding confidant.
Although I have a photojournalistic style, I won’t just show up and stand in a corner. We’re together for hours on your wedding day, plus your engagement shoot, so I don’t want to be just a face behind a camera. You get way more than just a photographer when you hire me.
You get someone who will photograph your wedding exactly as you remember it, (and even some of the moments that you might have missed).
You get photos with colors that are true to what you see in real life, just a little bolder, and your personalities just as you are, just shining brighter.
You get a photographer who values connection, listens to what you want, and brings a good energy to keep you going on your wedding day.
If you’ve made it this far, here’s where you really get to know me
I truly relate to the phrase, “all or nothing.” I’m either halfway across the world on a wild adventure, or on my couch, laying horizontally. If I’m not off doing something like a 60 mile trek across the Patagonian wilderness, you can find me at home snuggling my dogs, or brewing a strictly non-dairy coffee drink.
Travel & the outdoors are what made me fall in love with photography in the first place, so that’s when I feel the most inspired to create. When I’m home, I love thrifting & antiquing to cultivate a space that’s uniquely my style. Now would also be a good time to mention that I’m a Cancer!
Meet Marley & Leo.
They’re my besties, so I figured you should get to know them too
Leo is on the right, and he’s my adopted Craigslist son. He’s a good boy who enjoys fuzzy blankets, off-leash hikes, and playing fetch until his toe beans fall off. Marley is on the left, and I never would have met this sweet girl if it weren’t for one of my past brides. So I can confidently say that becoming a wedding photographer has changed my life forever and for the better. She loves chomping on a good stick, zoomies around the yard, and watching her favorite show, Friends (not kidding).
These two would like you to know that if you’re ready to reach out, you can contact me here!
