engagement session experiences

 

Your love story starts here

You're the star of your story


When I photograph couples, I’m not just capturing images; I’m telling a story that becomes part of their legacy forever. My goal is that when you look back at your photos 5, 10, or even 30 years from now, you don’t just remember what you looked  like...you'll remember how you felt.

"I would never consider myself model material because I always feel awkward in front of the camera, but LJ made me feel confident and comfortable. My favorite photo he took is of me smiling my raw, natural, unposed smile, and I think that's saying a lot of his ability to create and capture genuine and authentic moments. He will definitely always be my first choice for a photographer."

FAQ

Can we customize a collection?

Each collection has been tailored specifically for different needs, however you are able to add on any items to the base collections!

How far in advance should we book?

Because dates go by quickly, I would suggest booking me 2 to 4 months in advance!

How long does it take to get our photos?

Full wedding galleries will be sent 1 month from the wedding day date. All images will be delivered online in a private gallery directly to you. (Don't worry, you'll get previews as well!)

Do you offer albums or prints?

Yes to all of the above. You will receive in your final online gallery your digital images, but I also have a print store where you can order any and all of your printed art work.
