Your wedding day should never feel like one long photoshoot. My approach blends documentary storytelling with gentle editorial direction, creating space for genuine moments while ensuring every image feels timeless and intentional.
Faulkner Farm is the kind of venue that allows couples to truly settle into the day. With everything taking place on one beautiful property, you're able to spend less time moving from location to location and more time with the people you've invited to celebrate alongside you.
Rather than constantly pulling you away from your guests, I photograph your day as it naturally unfolds—stepping in only when needed to create portraits that feel effortless, natural, and true to who you are.
Most Faulkner Farm couples invest between $6,000–$9,000 depending on coverage, wedding weekend events, and the overall experience they're looking for.
