Your wedding day experience is wildly important. You only get one chance to pamper yourself with your closest friends and put on the most beautiful gown you've ever seen. Just one opportunity to see your parents beam with pride as they watch you promise to love and cherish your best friend for the rest of your days. Just one first kiss. One "just married" moment. Only one time to have a heck of a party with the people you love. 

With only one shot at this day, it's important that it feels just like you. Who you are, how you love, and what matters to you is at the forefront of my mind as we create an experience together that speaks to heart and captures what matters.

what I believe in

- Brayton and Carrington

 She was very responsive, kind, and helpful in answering all our questions, very organized, and simply a joy to be around day-of! I am overjoyed with the quality of our wedding pictures, and Heather just made our day so easy and fun. She was by far our favorite vendor. I would highly recommend!!" 

Heather was the best wedding decision we made!!

- Scott and Caroline

We have so many stunning photos that beautifully captured both our excitement and love as an engaged couple, and from our big day. Heather made us feel both at ease and close to each other. She is so easy to work with - super responsive, prompt, and clear in her communications. Anyone would be lucky to have Heather photograph their big life moments.

Heather is an amazing artist, extremely professional, and exceptionally kind.
