The Raising Roots Wedding Experience

From our first conversation to gallery delivery, my role is to support you fully — not just as your photographer, but as a steady presence on a day that moves quickly. I help with timeline flow, calm nerves when needed, and make space for things to unfold naturally so you can stay present with the people and moments that matter most.


I photograph weddings as they’re felt, not just how they look. The moments in between — the pauses, the movement, the way it all unfolds — are what tell your story honestly. All love stories are welcome, and whether your day follows tradition, breaks it, or creates something entirely your own, my approach stays rooted in connection, emotion, and movement.


You’ll never be left wondering what to do. I offer gentle guidance during portraits and family photos, then step back into a documentary rhythm as the day unfolds. The result is a gallery that balances intention and authenticity — beautifully composed images paired with real, unfiltered moments that reflect you as you are.

Coverage Type

Coverage is based on guest count, timeline, and logistics.

Elopements

Elopements are intentionally simple, centered on connection, and free from the structure of a traditional wedding day. These celebrations focus on the two of you, with minimal logistics and a relaxed pace that leaves room to be fully present.


Guest Count:  Elopement coverage is designed for the couple only or up to 10 guests (including the officiant).


If your day includes a larger guest list, a reception, or a structured timeline, one of the wedding collections will be a better fit.

Inquiry for Your Elopement

If you’re wondering which category your day falls into, the biggest difference comes down to structure, not style.

Elopement Weddings
Overall feel Simple, relaxed, centered on the couple Structured, intentional, and timeline-driven
Timeline Minimal and flexible Defined timeline with planned moments
Coverage focus Ceremony, couple portraits, surrounding moments Ceremony plus formal moments and extended coverage
Logistics One primary location, minimal coordination More coordination, often multiple moments or locations
Best fit for Couples wanting something low-key and intentionally simple Couples planning a full wedding experience, even on a smaller scale

If your day includes a reception, formal moments, or a longer timeline, it’s considered a wedding. Intimate weddings are booked under wedding collections, not elopement packages.

Wedding Collections

Wedding collections are designed for days with a defined timeline, meaningful moments, and space to tell the full story — whether your celebration is traditional, non-traditional, intimate, backyard, or somewhere in between.

  • Coverage of ceremony, portraits, and meaningful moments
  • Professionally edited online gallery

The Process

Reach out with your date, location, and what you’re planning. 


I’ll confirm availability, answer any initial questions, and share details about next steps so you know exactly what to expect.





Once we align on coverage, a signed contract and 30% retainer fee officially reserve your date. From there, you’re fully booked, and planning support begins right away.



We’ll connect in a way that works best for you— whether that’s a Zoom call or email — to walk through your vision, timeline, and photo priorities. I’ll create a photography timeline based on your day and gather your must-have moments and groupings to build a thoughtful shot list. If you’re working with a planner or coordinator, I’m happy to connect with them directly to ensure everything flows smoothly.



I’ll arrive 15–30 minutes early to prep gear, walk the space, and be ready to begin right on time. From there, I’ll guide when needed and step back when it matters most —documenting your day with calm presence, intention, and care as it naturally unfolds.



You’ll receive sneak peeks within 72 hours after your celebration, followed by a full online gallery ready to download, share, and revisit for years to come. Turnaround time for wedding galleries currently sit at 3 to 4 weeks. 



Let's Document It All

From the big moments to everything in between, your story deserves to be captured with care, presence, and intention.
