My philosophy

A wedding photography experience designed with care from beginning to end.
Work together
Photography, to me, is about preserving the feeling of a moment as honestly and beautifully as possible. I approach weddings with a calm, intentional presence — offering guidance when needed and stepping back when it matters most. Rather than chasing perfection, I focus on connection, atmosphere, and the in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. The result is imagery that feels timeless, personal, and deeply reflective of the experience you lived.
Designed for couples planning a more streamlined celebration, this collection focuses on the moments that matter most — thoughtfully documenting the heart of your wedding day from the final touches of getting ready through key reception moments. With six hours of coverage, you’ll still receive an intentional, story-driven experience while keeping your timeline relaxed and meaningful.
Perfect for couples wanting the most meaningful parts of their wedding day thoughtfully documented, this collection offers coverage for the core moments of your celebration — from parts of getting ready through the energy and emotion of the reception. With eight hours of coverage, there’s space for a relaxed experience while preserving the moments that matter most.
Designed for couples who want the story of their day documented more fully, this collection offers the flexibility to capture everything from meaningful getting-ready moments through an evening spent celebrating with the people you love most. With ten hours of coverage, there’s space for a relaxed, intentional experience without feeling rushed.

THE NEXT STEP
You've thoroughly combed through our website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see. So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the perfect fit for one another. Ready to go forward with a standard package? Or would you like a call to put together a custom investment?

THE NEXT STEP
Once you've decided which investment is the best fit, I will send over a contract and invoice. It's not official until the contract is signed and the 25% retainer has been made.
03/06
THE NEXT STEP
Once the contract and invoice are complete we get to move on to the fun part-the engagement session! Don't worry, I send over some fun guides and questionnaires to help you plan the perfect, true to you e-sesh!

THE NEXT STEP
I'll be checking in consistently leading up to your wedding day, with an in-person or video call meeting within the weeks leading up to your wedding. This way I can ensure you're getting all the support you need during this process.

THE NEXT STEP
It's finally here! This is the day I work my magic. From capturing the little moments you didn't even realize were happening, to helping you stay present in the moment. Just think of me as your personal support photographer...or something like that.

THE NEXT STEP
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery around 8 weeks after your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.

She truly was such a warm presence, a pleasure to have and be around, and very clearly someone who loves what they do! She was fantastic with posing us when needed, and being a fly on the wall for candid moments. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend Maddie and Spirited Sage Photography enough for any picture needs you may have!
