Experience
"Working with Lisa as our engagement and wedding photographer was the absolute best decision my husband and I made for our wedding day!"
We decided to have our engagement photos shot in St. Louis, which is how we intitally met Lisa, and were thrilled when she was able to also travel to shoot our wedding in Lake Tahoe, CA. We fell in love with her photography, style, capture of light and emotions just from looking at her portfolio online. Meeting her in person and working with her positive and bubbly, yet relaxed and efficient personality is a plus!!! We loved ever single one of our engagement and wedding photos and will be able to relive our day over and over again thanks to Lisa. She was fun and professional on our wedding day and was such a delight to have on our “team.” Her work is very SPECIAL and it shines through the pictures that myself, my husband and our families now have for years to cherish

"she has a unique eye for special moments"
Lisa traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to shoot our "winter wonderland" farm wedding. She beautifully captured the honesty we wanted portrayed in our wedding photos. She has a unique eye for those special, candid moments, and our photos perfectly illustrate all of the elements that made our wedding day so meaningful!

HOW IT WORKS
OUR PROCESS
01
initial meeting
If the stars align and I have availability on your date, I love to hop on a call or grab a quick coffee to really begin to understand your vision for your day, your unique personalities, and the style of photography that you’re interested in. During this time I can also get a better grasp on a feasible photography timeline for the day that would allow us to capture all the photos that are important to you while allowing a bit of breathing room for enjoyment. I can answer any questions you might have, as well as provide more insight in what it’s like to work with me.
02
booking
Hurray! We’re working together! I’ll send you a customized quote based on the details of the collection you’re interested in, along with a contract and a retainer. All online. Easy peasy.
03
Planning + consultations
I’ll be here throughout the process to answer questions that might come up, alter timelines, and provide recommendations for some of the best wedding professionals in the industry. About a month before the big day, I’ll coordinate a time with you or your planner to run through the final schedule and make any adjustments you might need.
04
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
The perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other a little more! We can collaborate on finding a time and location that works with your schedule and vision. This is the fun stuff!
05
the WEDDING day
We’ve prepared, planned and waited for this day and it’s here! We’ll get there early, make sure we stay on schedule and focus on capturing all the memories so you and your loved ones can put down your phones and be fully present for the best day of your life!
06
photo delivery day
Photos are delivered in an online gallery within 8 weeks of your wedding date. I can’t wait to share these with you!
07
the wedding album
Once you’ve had a chance to look through your images, we can collaborate on your album design. These books are gorgeous and I want to make sure you’re in love with your book!
