WHEN IT COMES TO DOING WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU, I’M ALL IN

By keeping communication open, getting clear on what matters most to you, and walking you through the photo process ahead of time — including the timeline and shot list — we’ll make sure you can relax and truly enjoy all the real, unexpected moments as they unfold.

DOCUMENTARY.
CANDID.
AUTHENTIC.

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THE APPROACH IS THE SAME

The true beauty of your story is told through simply living this day – capturing moments without interruption, time constraints, or instruction. My goal is to fade into the scenery to capture authentic emotions and connections where the depth and details of those moments reveal themselves.

INTENTIONAL PORTRAITS

My posing direction lends itself to natural movements that will make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. As for portraits with your loved ones, I will organize your shot list ahead of time and will ensure those photos are done using clear guidance and direction. I promise to make portraits an efficient and fun experience so you can get back to celebrating!

“Looking through my photos felt like reliving our wedding day. Every special moment was there - including the ones I’d never seen.”

Weddings Of All Styles & Sizes

Let’s count mOMENTS,
not hours.

Every collection includes my attention to detail and hands-on approach. During the wedding day I will shoot a mixture of authentic documentary images, traditional posed images, and the little details that help tell your story no matter which collection you select.

In order to best serve your needs, I offer custom collections. I work closely with you and your partner to understand your unique vision for the day and ensure we discuss aspects such as timeline,  number of photographers, inclusion of an engagement session, and your preferences for printed heirlooms. By tailoring these collections to you, I aim to provide a truly personalized experience.

“I cannot say enough good things so I'll sum it up with this — hiring Deanna was the best wedding decision I made outside of saying ‘I do!’.”

Deanna made both of us feel so comfortable & relaxed that we were able to just be ourselves and have fun, which totally came through in our beautiful photos. She was absolutely perfect amidst wedding planning – always calm, professional, and grounding in the way she kept the focus on the things I vocalized as the most important to me.
