Hi! I'm Caroline and I am SO happy you're here! 

I've been photographing weddings for almost TWELVE years! It's literally my favorite thing and I don't go a single day without being filled with gratitude that this is my JOB! 

With me you'll get years and years of experience, unwavering dedication, extreme responsiveness (I check my e-mail way too much haha), and help with your timeline and family portraits on your wedding day. I also love posing so you'll never have to worry about what to do. I gotcha!

"Caroline is an absolute joy to work with - enthusiastic, overly prepared, kind, and the ultimate hype woman on your big day. We are in awe at how seriously amazing our wedding pictures turned out (& how quickly they were ready)! She captured the warmth and happiness we felt throughout the day so effortlessly."

"we can't imagine anyone more perfect"

kind words

After photographing more than two hundred weddings over the past 11 years, we’ve found that we’re not the perfect fit for every couple. That’s why this process begins with a conversation. We want this to be the perfect fit for both of us!

We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your day, answer any questions you might have about working with us and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.

LET's CONNECT

We're here as a resource beyond photography—whether you're looking for engagement session outfit recommendations, timeline advice, or vendor referrals.

Even if you're working with a wedding planner or you're planning a simple wedding, there are likely still a lot of moving pieces left leading up to your big day. We've photographed more than 150 weddings in the past few years and we're happy to share everything we've learned along the way! 

Wedding Advice

We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. Not only do they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, they also give you the opportunity to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you. 

Engagement sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. We normally plan sessions based on a particular “look” a couple has in mind, spring flowers for example, or based on schedules. 

Engagement Session

We check-in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day. 

While we normally don't send this questionnaire until closer to the wedding, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have questions during the planning process!

It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. 

Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome.

The Big Day

You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums. 

We hope the relationship doesn't end after we deliver your photographs. We want to hear about the adventures of married life. And if you decide to have kids, we'd love to document your growing family.

THE COLLECTIONS

One of my all time favorite things is traveling. So being able to combine travel and work is a total dream! For weddings within the continental US travel is included in the package price. Inquire for more information on travel costs for international weddings! I also love doing destination engagement shoots! If you're interested in doing something super fun and adventurous and want to hop on a plane for your session let me know! 

 Destination Weddings

All of our sessions include a complimentary engagement session. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.

Sessions also allow you to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.

Engagement Sessions

Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 33% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 1 week before the wedding.

We love your work and we’re ready to book! What’s the next step?

Galleries typically include anywhere between 400 and 800 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with fullyedited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on Facebook as long as you credit us and link to our website.

How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?

We typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 60 mile radius from our home in Annapolis, Maryland. Fees vary depending on location so ask us for more details.

When do you charge travel fees?
