Love & Vows offers three thoughtfully curated portrait experiences: Bridal, Romantic, and Boudoir—each designed to complement your wedding story in a meaningful way.
Bridal Portraits
A bridal session is a beautiful prelude to your wedding day. It allows space to photograph you fully styled—hair, makeup, gown—without the pressure of the timeline. Many brides also choose to showcase a statement heirloom portrait at their reception, creating a moment that feels both personal and unforgettable.
Romantic Portraits
Romantic sessions are designed for the two of you—in wedding attire, at a location that feels significant or visually striking. Whether photographed before or after the wedding day, these sessions allow for unhurried, intimate portraits while easing the flow of your wedding timeline.
Boudoir Portraits
Boudoir is an intimate, empowering experience—often chosen as a deeply personal gift for your groom. It is a celebration of confidence, vulnerability, and devotion, honoring the beauty of offering yourself fully as you step into marriage.

A wedding day isn’t just an event; it’s a living story unfolding in real time. The quiet moments before the ceremony. The way hands find each other instinctively. The joy, the nerves, the celebration that follows. I approach each wedding as an editorial narrative—capturing honest emotion with a refined, artistic eye.
At Love & Vows, every image is created with purpose. From softly observed, behind-the-scenes moments to striking, romantic portraits worthy of the page, your story is documented as both art and memory—timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.
You experience the day fully.
I preserve it as legacy.
Wedding collections are thoughtfully curated and begin at $4,500, with options designed to reflect the scale, vision, and intimacy of your celebration.
