Thank you for sharing your vision and story with me. I am both honored and delighted that you are considering working with me. I invite you to view the collections below. Each has been tailored to fit your needs while staying true to the timeless sophistication I weave into all aspects of my work.
Welcome to your Proposal
watch this first....
Your wedding day deserves more than just beautiful photographs—it deserves care, intention, and an experience that allows you to feel fully present.
I take a hands-on, personalized approach with every couple, guiding you through the planning process, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and ensuring nothing feels rushed or forced. On the wedding day itself, I blend calm direction with an unobtrusive presence, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally.
I show up early, guide you thoughtfully, and stay present—so you can relax, trust the process, and enjoy your wedding day.
Winterlyn is pure behind the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking.
Beyond her incredible talent, Winterlyn made us feel so comfortable and cared for. She’s calm, kind, and such a reassuring presence on a whirlwind day. She truly feels like a close friend and I’m so glad she got to witness our love story.
— Bethany & Craig

Over the years, we've learned the important role quality vendors play in creating a stress-free wedding day. We've worked with many of the vendors below and we can't recommend them enough! This is not a paid list - we chose these vendors for both the quality of their work as well as their professionalism on the actual wedding day.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT DURING THE WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS?
frequently asked questions →
As your photographer, I will make every effort to contribute to a seamless experience. Much of this comes down to full and easy communication with you, and partnering with your planner to coordinate as needed. I’ll build an organic photography timeline that is conducive to your experience, enhancing each moment rather than taking away from your enjoyment.
CLOSE
WILL YOU POSE OR DIRECT US WHILE YOU DOCUMENT OUR WEDDING?
My approach is a delicate mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on the moment. I can sense when you’re carrying tension or feeling anxious, and will provide pointers to help you ease into the moment for naturally beautiful photos. You can expect careful guidance, simple posing, and encouragement to just be yourself.
CLOSE
IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT MAKES A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPH?
An incredible photo is the one that you find yourself returning to with fondness throughout your life. So, I would say that the best wedding photographs are more than timing, posing, backgrounds, and lighting. A large part of creating a beautiful photo is capturing the real moments so you can look back and feel genuinely immersed in this time of celebration.
CLOSE
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?
You’ll receive a complete collection of professionally edited photographs in a private online gallery. Each image will be carefully edited to enhance the beauty of the moment while remaining true to your lived experience. These can be downloaded, shared and printed with ease.
CLOSE
HOW DO WE BOOK OUR DATE(S) WITH YOU?
Reach out, and I’ll send booking materials with your preferred collection. You can officially book your date(s) with a signed contract and service retainer.
CLOSE
LET'S BEGIN
You deserve a photographer who sees the full picture, not just the timeline, but the emotion and meaning woven through every hour of your day. My promise is to document your story with care, artistry, and heart. When you open your gallery, you won’t just see how beautiful your wedding looked — you’ll feel how it felt to live it. That’s the legacy I want to create for you.
To ensure that your date is fully reserved, please email me with your preferred collection and any other notes. Last, but not least, allow me to express my sincere gratitude. I look forward to hopefully working together.
