INTENTIONAL, FUN, INCLUSIVE, WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN WORKING WITH ME
A PERSONALIZED APPROACH
With over seven years of experience capturing weddings and portraits, I've had the honor of witnessing countless love stories unfold through my lens. My journey began in Harford County, Maryland, where I've been dedicated to serving couples and families, capturing their unique moments with creativity and care. I grew up there and now I proudly serve all around the state of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and areas of Central Pennsylvania. I believe that every client is unique, and so should be their photographic journey. From the first discovery call to the delivery of your final images, I am dedicated to understanding your vision and weaving it into captivating visual narratives.
CAPTURING AUTHENTIC MOMENTS
At Sharp Impressions Photo, my style is all about blending the candid with the artistic. I believe in capturing genuine emotions, those fleeting moments that make your heart skip a beat. From the tear in your partner’s eye as you say "I do" to the infectious laughter shared with friends and family, I strive to document it all. My photography is vibrant, full of life, and tailored to tell your unique story. My style is rooted in journalistic and documentary techniques, ensuring that each photograph preserves the true essence of your occasion. I specialize in capturing these fleeting moments with creativity and precision.
AN ENERGETIC AND OUTGOING EXPERIENCE STARTING WITH THE FIRST CALL
Expect more than just a photographer – expect a friendly face who adds positive energy to your special day. I thrive on creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere, helping you and your guests feel relaxed and naturally expressive. My outgoing nature allows me to blend seamlessly into your event, capturing genuine moments without any intrusion. Your experience with Sharp Impressions Photo begins with a personalized discovery call. You can book that right here on my website! This discovery call is where we get to know each other better. I love hearing all about your love story, your vision for the big day, and any special moments you want me to capture. This meeting helps us establish a connection, ensuring that I can deliver photos that reflect your personalities and relationship, and making sure our personalities click and we vibe! Once we chat on the phone and get a great vibe for each other and our personalities, if you’re ready, I will then send over a proposal to you with your selected package, you can use this to view your contract, questionnaires, or payment plan if you have one, and that will all be in one place for you so that you’re able to easily access it very easily whenever necessary! Once your contract is signed and retainer is paid you are OFFICIAL!!!
AFTER BOOKING WITH ME
A COLLABRATIVE JOURNEY:
BEFORE THE BIG DAY
Your voice matters. Throughout our time together, I value open communication and collaboration. Before your wedding day, we'll discuss your preferences, must-have shots, timeline creation, and any special requests. I always send out a questionnaire to my couples that gathers small details that are important to me and help me capture your day specified to you and your partner. Next, we’ll schedule your complimentary engagement session and start planning the vibes for that, and what it looks like. I send my couples a styling and planning guide once you’ve scheduled your engagement session on my calendar. Engagement sessions are a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of the camera, take amazing photos with your love, and get to know me, your wedding photographer some before the big day! I get to understand your best angles and your preferences. Plus, it’s a fun and relaxed way to capture beautiful photos that you can use for your wedding invitations, save the dates, wedding website, or simply just as a keepsake!
PRE-WEDDING PREP
As your wedding day approaches, I’m here to help with any last-minute details or questions. I am VERY big on communication and that is vital in this process between me and my couples. We’ll go over the timeline, specific important shots to you, and any special requests you may have. We’ll have one meeting 30 days before the wedding to nail down all the details once they’re close to being all being nailed down. But before and even after that, we’ll have an open line of communication, you’ll have my email, and personal number to ensure there’s no problem with contacting me. You don’t need to worry about any ghosting over here. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and stress-free, knowing that every precious moment will be beautifully captured.
THE BIG DAY
On your wedding day, I always arrive at least a little before my contracted time, mainly because I am a stickler for being on time and I like to get my bearings before diving right into shooting. My approach is a blend of photojournalism and traditional photography, ensuring that I capture both the spontaneous moments and the classic posed portraits. I work discreetly and efficiently, so you can enjoy your day to the fullest while I capture the magic unfolding around you.
POST-WEDDING BLISS
After your wedding, the excitement continues! I meticulously edit each individual photo by hand. Within twenty-four to forty-eight hours you’ll receive a sneak peek online gallery of your photos, followed by the full online gallery within 4 weeks of your wedding day. I always encourage my couples to make sure to read the final gallery email and make sure you download your images correctly and be sure to save them in multiple places. Don’t worry, I’ll always have your images backed up multiple times in multiple places as well, but you want to be sure you have copies as well. I also encourage you to relive your special day through having your beautiful images printed professionally, you can do so through your online gallery.
THE INVESTMENT
Investing in your wedding photography is about more than just pictures; it's about safeguarding the memories that will become the cornerstone of your shared journey. By choosing a photographer who understands the importance of these moments, you're ensuring that the magic of your wedding day is never lost. My approach is both professional and heartfelt, focusing on making you feel comfortable and at ease, so your true personalities shine through in every frame. Let’s work together to create a beautiful, lasting testament to your love story that you and future generations will cherish. As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing these moments in their most authentic form, allowing you to relive the laughter, tears, and joy of your special day for years to come. Every glance, every touch, and every spontaneous laugh is meticulously documented to ensure that the essence of your wedding is preserved, creating a timeless visual narrative that speaks to the heart.
