Even though I love my home, my love story, and my mundane moments like no other, there is something sacred about stepping out of my safe spaces and into someone else's. There is something so unique and yet so universal about each marriage. Your relationship is true to you in a way that it is to no one else. There will never be another you and your spouse. I love marriage and I love to be a witness to what can only be found exactly where you and your significant other stand. It is entirely authentic to you, completely original, and one of a kind. Every wedding day I am a part of is another phenomenon. With each, I'm more astonished by the power of devotion and kinship.

The Experience

[ THE AKP PROCESS ]

A bride wearing a wedding dress and veil is lifted by a man in a tan suit at an outdoor wedding ceremony. They are dancing on grass, surrounded by trees, with a banner in the background that reads "The TATE".

Whether ready to book or just a little curious, connecting with you, answering your questions, and engaging to see if we’re a fit is the most important part of the process! That being said, I’d love to hear from you and gather just a few details! Within a maximum of 48 hours, you’ll hear from me! I’m always eager to get the conversation rolling! From there, if you’re confident, I can go ahead and secure your spot or we can utilize our first phone call as a preliminary to actually booking. I want all my clients to have no hesitation that they’re making the right choice and to feel invested in from the very start!

Once I reach back out, whether booked or not, we can devise a time to call (or meet if you’re local to my area or just really interested in a face-to-face conversation). This is an open invitation to ask any and all questions and a means for me to create a custom package that fits your every need, hope, and priority each step of the way. My packages are all fair and standard across the board, but are also tailored to your specific vision. Rather than sending you a ticket with so many add-ons that it looks like a receipt from the grocery store, I thoughtfully curate a flat-rate that encompasses everything that is essential to your perfect wedding photography experience.

After the call, a client portal will be created with all the details you’ve shared, a contract will be drawn up, and an invoice will be sent. From there, it’ll be up to you to take the leap. This is a big decision and I want you to have all the resources to make it with ease!

Following booking, I’m available to you for any questions, concerns, or planning needs. I love to be present throughout the planning process. Whatever you want me to be a part of, I also want to be a part of. I’m always happy to hop on a call, discuss timeline, and do any brain work ahead of time to ensure that there’s room for you to exhale on your wedding day.

The day you never thought would come will finally arrive and my hope is that you will get to reap the fruit of all the time we’ve spent in communication and consideration leading up to it. It’s time for you to indulge in the beautiful day you’ve prepared and for me to quietly capture it, stepping in only when you need direction, a tissue for tears, or a listening ear when the butterflies threaten to turn to nerves.

When the lights go down and the doors are closed, our collaboration won’t end there! Within 3–4 days, you can expect a sneak peek to hit your inbox so that you can relive some of the highlights right off the bat. From there, you can expect a final gallery within 4–8 weeks. I hope you not only get to remember your day fondly through the photos, but that you can genuinely relish the process they demanded.

{ WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS EXPERIENCE ]

Process

I takes unique interest in investing in you before you ever click “Book”. As an individual who just loves love and as a small business rooted in serving others, I want to hear from you, learn you as a couple, and uncover what lies near to your heart.

Personality

As a person, I’m a natural born observer with a big sense of imagination. On your wedding day, I want your voice to be the loudest in the room and your presence to be the most significant. I’m marching to the beat of your drum in my usual nature: lover of real-life stories in need of no embellishment, only in need of really authentic narration.

Presence

I make it a priority to be available to you from the first inquiry. Your wedding day is one of the most intimate days of your life, and inevitably, I will have a front seat to any moment that you want documentation of. It’s important that I don’t feel like a stranger. You should feel at home in your union. I want to take a seat at your table, to feel acquainted with your vision and your values. Invite me into any detail and any decision you’d like, I will most always accept the invitation!

Planning

If the tangible mementos you walk away from your wedding day with are valuable to you, it’s important hat we approach achieving them with care. On a day meant to be enjoyed, I don’t want you to fret over the small stuff. As soon as you book, I’d love to accompany you in doing the hard work of creating an extravagant day that feels effortless as it actually unfolds. Let’s talk timeline, hash out lighting, scope out settings, and rid your beautiful celebration of taxing decisions that can be addressed long before!
