Welcome
I am so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your special event!
Before I ever started shooting weddings, I photographed lots of parties and various celebrations! I started with bridal showers and expanded to baby showers, birthday parties, christenings and more!
As I become busier with weddings, I have added to my team. Now, you have the option to book with me, or one of my amazing associate photographers. All associates have been trained by me personally, and I would trust with my own event or family photos.
Have a look at the collections, reviews, frequently asked questions below. All event photography comes with a curated online gallery, link to the hi-resolution digital files (never watermarked), and lots of communication throughout the planning process. I am also happy to create a custom collection for you.
If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to reach out.
Lots of Love,
Keri

Handcrafted Albums
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
I believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents’ wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.
PRICING
Linen: $1000
Leather: $1150
Additional 2-page Spread: $50
DUPLICATE PARENT ALBUMS
(6×6, 20 pages)
Linen: $300 each for Linen
Leather: $400 each
Additional 2-page Spread: $40 each
After your gallery is delivered, I will email you a link to choose the photos you want included in your album. 65 photos work well in the 20 page album, but you are welcome to add more spreads. Next, I will create a first draft. We’ll work together on the design until it’s perfect, creating an album that will become an heirloom for your family.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day. The holiday deadline for beginning an order is October 1st.
Engagement Sessions
CELEBRATING A SEASON
Most wedding collections come with an engagement session included, and while it is certainly not required, I definitely recommend doing one!
It’s so much fun to meet in person before your wedding and get to know each other a bit better. I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and I love to hear all about how wedding planning is going.
Many brides even schedule their hair and make up trial the same day to see how it photographs.
So let’s plan a day, pick a location (don’t worry, I can help with this!) and create memories that will fill up the frames your walls for years to come.
The first step is to choose your location and then we will lock in a date.
For the most part, engagement sessions take place on weeknights (M-Th) since I am shooting weddings most weekends. Some locations, like Central Park, Dumbo, etc. are scheduled on Sunday mornings at sunrise to avoid the crowds.
You are welcome to wear one outfit or two and I always recommend to go a little dressier than you normally would!

Frequently
asked QUESTIONS
Q:
WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WANT TO BOOK. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
A:
Amazing! I am so excited to photograph your wedding! First, please email me with the collection you have chosen, your full name, phone number and home address. Next, I will email you my standard contract and invoice for the 50% retainer. Once those two items are submitted, your date is officially reserved! The remaining 50% is split into two 25% payments, with the final payment due the month before your wedding.
Q:
ARE THERE TRAVEL FEES?
A:
Travel fees typically apply to any wedding outside of a 60 mile radius from central New Jersey. Fees vary depending on location so do not hesitate to ask me for a custom travel quote.
Q:
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE AND WHEN?
A:
Wedding galleries typically include 800-1000 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding depending on the number of hours book, amount of bridal party members, etc. Your online gallery includes the edited high resolution images you can print through the gallery or anywhere you like. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photo link with family and friends.
Q:
WHAT TYPES OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
A:
I invoice through Stripe, so you are welcome to pay with credit or debit card. There are no added fees, with the exception of sales tax if you are a New Jersey resident ordering an album. If you prefer, you are welcome to write a check, however, there are no discounts for cash payments.
Thank You
My family and I thank you so much for considering me to be a part of your wedding day.
