Feel-the-love again photos

Timeless,

Capture love and joy in real time — and then frame it .

my vision

It’s not just about the photos. It’s about capturing what matters most—the quick glances, the quiet hand squeezes, and the big, can’t-stop-laughing moments. The real stuff. The heart of it all. That’s what I’m here for, so you can feel it all over again, every time you look back.

I’m here to make sure you laugh, dance, and forget the camera’s even there.

Hi, I'm HEather -

"We were completely in the moment our entire wedding, nothing felt staged. We look back at our wedding photos and can remember the emotions that we felt in those moments thanks to Heather!"

Investments are customized to meet your needs — inquire to begin

In addition to a personal and heart-filled experience, you'll also receive high-quality images and products.  With a curated selection of heirloom albums and professional prints, you can preserve your story for future generations.

Value to last generations

Working with a limited, selected number of couples a year allows for a personal and approachable experience. I believe in kind-hearted communication, openness with expression, and approachability with your vision and values. This means getting to know you on a personal level so your images are filled with heart.

A high-quality, personalized experience 

Timeless can be a tricky word to define. To me, it means that your photos reflect the truth and meaning of such a rich day. The emotions you experience, the traditions you value, and the people you love will be front and center, preserved through art that keeps the main focus on what matters most.

The

Experience

- Lyndsey & Max

She beautifully captured the story of our wedding day with a unique eye for both the big moments and the small, intimate gestures. Her positive presence made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be fully in the moment. The photos are stunning, and every emotion from that day is reflected in her work. You're missing out if you don't book her!"

"Heather's warmth, kindness, and energy were evident from our first conversation"

- brynn & chris

I can’t say enough about Heather and what she meant to our day. We have said over and over that she was the best choice we made for our wedding. She took the time to get to know us, the people who are important to us, and what we value in our relationship. We cannot recommend her enough!

"Heather is truly a gift and we feel lucky to have had her as part of our wedding day."
