Nothing About Planning a Wedding is Simple, but Booking Your Photographer Should Be.
At Perception Studio, we simplify your wedding experience.
Let me tell you how.
1. What you See is What you Get
Images are real weddings, not paid styled shoots, featuring REAL people. Every image you see here is from a real wedding I’ve photographed. With nearly two decades of experience, I’ve learned how to create captivating images in any circumstance - and how to capture you in the best light (no pun intended… okay, maybe a little intended).
I don’t curate only the most “picturesque” weddings or a handful of lucky shots of photogenic couples. Instead, I share a wide, honest portfolio so you can hire me with confidence, knowing I’ll beautifully document every part of your day - from the tiny details and candid moments to the formal portraits your family will treasure.
I also handle everything myself: communication, shooting, editing, and all the in-between. I never outsource weddings or any part of the process, so you can trust that the person you hired is the person dedicated to your story from start to finish.
2. You get a built in Wedding Coordinator.
Timelines are the #1 worry for brides, but I will take all the guesswork (and stress) out of it! I’ll help set your day up for success with a collaborative, back-and-forth conversation designed to build a seamless wedding day timeline. You can take the guesswork out of how long each part of the day truly requires. I’ll guide you through it all with the expertise I’ve refined over years of photographing weddings.
And if things run a little behind (because let’s be honest, it happens), I promise I can, and will, get everything back on track without the stress. The feedback I hear most often from both brides and vendors is how incredibly efficient I am. I know no one loves spending forever on family photos and everyone’s eager to get to the celebration, so we make them happen… quickly and smoothly.
3. Quick Communication, Always.
All of my emails are answered within 24 hours, and often within an hour or two. I won’t leave you hanging. I fully believe that communication is the key to good relationships. I also want you to know exactly what to expect next. I will always remain in contact with you about what your next step is, what I need from you, delivery times, etc. from booking through product delivery.
4. The White Dress Promise
I promise you’ll see every detail that makes your dress special - the lace, the beading, the textures - in every image. Your photos will never be over-processed or blown out to the point where your gown looks like a flat sheet of white paper. You chose your dress because you loved the nuances, and I believe you should be able to see those same nuances in every photograph.
I value true-to-life color and clean, accurate exposure over trendy edits. I take immense pride in my editing process, and it’s one of the biggest things that sets me apart. Each image is evaluated and edited - no batch editing, no global filters, no one-size-fits-all presets applied. My style is natural and crisp, yet still soft and dreamy.
I also provide complexion enhancements for every person in every image. Knowing you’ll look your very best, with just a touch of Photoshop magic, lets you relax, stay present, and truly enjoy your day. Your job is to have fun; my job is to make you look flawless.

Collections are simple and straight forward. You won’t need a calculator to add up the cost. Collection + (optional) add ons + tax = Price.
I believe pricing should also be accessible, which is why I include it for you here. Choose from one of the inclusive options listed below.
Not planning a large affair? That’s ok - I LOVE small weddings. Special Elopement/Micro wedding packages are available for weekdays and small affairs starting with just four hours of coverage. Ask for details and a custom quote for your day.
