Beautiful images matter. But the experience of creating them matters just as much. I want you to feel present on your wedding day. Not managed. Not posed for hours. Not performing.
a wedding experience that's more than just photos
Your wedding day should feel natural, joyful, and full of love—not like a photoshoot. My approach is all about creating space for real moments to unfold, so your photos feel just as effortless as the memories themselves. From guiding you with gentle direction to capturing the in-between candid moments, I’ll be there to preserve your memories exactly as they happen—so you can focus on what matters most: each other.
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO LET GO AND BE SEEN
a photographic style with a blend of intentional and documentary moments.
This season is certainly exciting, but wedding planning can also be stressful and overwhelming. As a wedding photographer, I’m not just here to take photographs—I'm here to act as a resource and advocate, supporting you both individually and as a couple!
When it comes to portraits, I step in more intentionally. I guide with movement, natural prompts, and subtle direction so nothing feels stiff. I’ll incorporate editorial structure when it elevates the image, especially in landscapes or architectural spaces — but it will always feel like you.
If you believe we’re a good fit and you’d like to move forward with booking— I’ll send you a proposal with a contract and invoice to make it official. Once the 30% nonrefundable retainer fee is paid, your date is secured on my books and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing you just found your dream wedding photographer! YAY!
01 securing your date
Now for those precious Save-The-Date photos! Engagement sessions are a great way for us to hang out together before the wedding day and truly melt into finding your comfortability in front of my lens. The engagement sessions is a fun way to build our relationship prior to the big day so we feel more like besties rather than strangers which can make a huge difference in the way your photos turn out.
02 engagement session
During the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, I’ll act as a personal guide, offering vendor recommendations, tips and tricks, and more as needed! I am here for YOU and want to help. Wedding planning is a monster and you don’t have to feel alone planning all of it!
03 planning process
The big day has finally arrived!! I’ll get to your venue a little early to get settled in and touch base with you to make sure everything is ready to go! Thanks to all the planning and prep we’ve done, you can simply relax and enjoy the moment while I do my thing and you just enjoy the day.
04 the big shindig
You’ll receive sneak peek photos within one week of your wedding with your full gallery to follow approx. 8-10 weeks after (sooner depending on the season). You can download and print them yourself, or you can easily order directly from my professional print shop attached to your galleries.
05 gallery delivery
Your wedding photography experience deserves to feel effortless, intentional, and completely personal from the moment you book through the final gallery delivery.

the whole rodeo
Starting at $2500
For couples who want to skip the script and make the day their own. Whether you're hiking to a mountaintop or saying vows by the lake, I’ll document the emotion, the landscape, and every intentional detail that makes your elopement uniquely yours.
INTIMATE WEDDINGS/elopements
your wedding day is unique and my approach to documenting it will be too.
Your wedding is one of a kind, and your photography experience should be, too. With a blend of artistry and care, I’ll capture every joyful moment and meaningful detail, crafting images that are as unforgettable as the memories they preserve.
soulful moments captured for a lifetime
One truly unique aspect for all weddings is how different they are. From the little personal details to the weather day of–all of these come together to tell your story and that's where I come in. My editing style isn't a slapped on preset that is going to create a false image of your day. Absolutely no harsh washed out or overly orange skin that makes you feel like a cartoon character. I go for a more refined true to tone edit that leans into how your day actually looked rather than trying to alter it. If its direct sunlight all day, rainy, cloudy or a bit windy, you can bet that your gallery will be reflecting it but in an artful and intentional way.
Portraying the day exactly how it was is what is going to bring you right back to those memories so you can relive them for decades to come. I strive for quality over quantity and personal cull and edit every single photo that ends up in your final gallery. My promise to you is that you'll receive a gallery full of love and heartfelt images that go beyond the main moments of the day and truly encompass how the day felt and who was all there. It's impossible for you to experience and see everything that is happening on your wedding day and that is why I take great pride in being able to deliver a gallery that fills those gaps for you.

Shania did our wedding photos and we couldn’t be more thankful and grateful! They are beautiful. She went above, beyond and exceeded all expectations! Willing to work with all our needs and always a quick response with any and all questions! Very friendly, professional, patient and her knowledge is incredible. Shania also does an incredible job keeping in touch no matter how many months, weeks or days out and follows up. Her communication is spectacular! Highly recommend her.
Shania did both our engagement photos and wedding photos. We could not be happier with how our photos came out. She has a great eye for shots, and while she is a candid photographer, she was really great about directing us as we've never had any professional shots taken, so we were a bit awkward! Photos came on time and I have gotten so many compliments from people about them! She is SUPER personable and kind. Will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and will use her in the future for her other offers!
I highly recommend Shania!! She did our engagement photos and captured our wedding day perfectly. She made my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera. She timed everything perfectly and made the day go smoothly.
Shania did our wedding pictures and I am absolutely obsessed! My husband and I are not photogenic but she knew all the right poses and pictures to take. I am so in love and will definitely be using her again for future photos and recommending her for all my friends and family.
"The photos are beautiful!! You captured our moment perfectly. Thank you so much for your kindness, professionalism, and expertise."
You are absolutely amazing!! I am just in awe with how well you captured our day!! I'm so grateful that we were able to share our day with you. No one else could've done the job that you did!! Also, can we talk about how you got us 1000 photos back in just a short amount of time??? You are a literally rockstar!! Cole and I are so thankful for everything that you did.
I've had two sessions with Shania- an engagement shoot a few years ago and a mommy/daughter studio session recently. Both experiences were wonderful! Shania truly makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera. She is SO talented and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing photos for any occasion!!
intentionally limiting the number of weddings I take each year for you
Although I wish I could party every weekend with everyone whose saying "I do", I only take on an exclusive amount of weddings each year.
This allows me to be present with every one of my couples and be able to fully invest in who they are together and their vision for their wedding day.
The magic happens when we are able to connect and get to know each other aside from just being the camera lady. I value my relationship with my clients so much and that is why exclusivity is so important to me.
BACK
Every wedding is uniquely different, but I always deliver a full gallery of thoughtfully edited images that tell the complete story. You’ll receive a wide range of moments — the big, the small, and everything in between — all selected for quality, emotion, and connection.
01
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
BACK
Final galleries are delivered within 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the season. I always send preview images within one week so you have something to celebrate while the rest are being prepared with care and intention behind the scenes.
02
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
BACK
Yes, I love photographing in new places. I'm based in Western Wisconsin but often travel across the country or wherever your love story takes us. If you're planning something a little off the beaten path, send me the details and I’ll provide a custom quote based on location and travel needs.
03
DO YOU TRAVEL?
BACK
Absolutely. Once your gallery is ready, you'll have access to a professional print shop where you can order beautiful, high-quality prints. I also offer custom-designed heirloom albums — perfect for turning your images into something tangible you’ll treasure for years to come.
04
DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS OR PRINTS?
BACK
For weddings and elopements, I recommend reaching out 10 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak dates. For couples or lifestyle sessions, 1 to 3 months is usually plenty of time, but feel free to inquire earlier if you already have a date in mind.
05
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
BACK
Start by filling out the contact form and sharing some details and vision for your day. If I'm available your date, we will jump on a call to chat details and get to know each other. If we vibe and everything feels like a fit, I'll send over a proposal and a signed contract and retainer will secure your date on my calendar.
06
HOW DO WE BOOK WITH YOU?
BACK
I am here for every last bit of it! Whatever you need you can consider me your go to gal. I will fully take charge of your photography timeline and make sure we execute your vision in a way for you to fully enjoy your day stress free and not feel like you're stuck in front of a camera the entire time.
07
do you help with the planning process?
BACK
My approach and style is a mixed of editorial "posed" shots and mainly documentary candid style imagery. I heavily focus on details and all the little moments that bring together and tell the story of your entire day as well as the main moments! I'm very much a "no detail left behind" type of girl and deeply value being able to deliver galleries that allow you to revisit and remember your day in a way you didn't see before.
08
what is your shooting style?
BACK
Yes! I require a 30% non-refundable deposit to secure your date on my calendar and for the remaining payment I am flexible and will work with what works best for you. Reach out and lets chat!
09
do you have payment plans?
