Imagine This
Just the two of you, eyes locked, hands intertwined, standing in a place that feels other-wordly. There’s no rush, no pressure. Just calm & joy. You’re finally here. You pull out your vows, take a deep breath, and try to find the words to convey the weight of this moment and your love. You are hanging on to every second, wondering how it could be any more perfect. You spend the next few hours exploring together, savoring the incredible views, & holding each other close.
The two of you, surrounded by all of the people you know & love. For months, you’ve thoughtfully & intentionally worked together all of the details of this day. A flexible timeline, vendors you trust, a guest list made up of people that actively invest in your life, and focus on all of the things that actually matter to you. You mindfully carve out time throughout the day to spend alone together. You celebrate, you eat good food, hug lots of necks, & dance your heart out.
Whatever life milestone is coming up in your life. Maybe you just got engaged. Maybe you’ve found out you’re expecting. Maybe you just bought a house. Maybe your baby just turned 2. Whatever it is, you have it documented in a way that focuses on real moments & emotions. There’s connection, meaningful conversations, & gut-busting laughter.
You feel comfortable. You feel seen. You feel heard. You feel loved. And the photos show it.
You’re telling the story
& I’m listening. People come first, photos come second.
Can I ask you something? When you look back at your day, what is it that you want to remember? What do you want to preserve?
Your photos are imbued with stories, sentiment, & emotions that create a tangible link to experiences you’ve had & people you’ve loved. These are shared across time & distance, now & long after we are gone. They help us to know who we are. They shape how we remember. I’m here to bottle up the connections, the feelings, & the love in your life into those photos. And I’m here to make it personal.
Hi, Dakota here.
I think that being invited into your most special days is a pretty big deal - whether that’s your elopement, wedding, or another life milestone. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Photographs are your documented history - what you saw, what you thought, what you heard, what you said, & what you felt in a moment. They can showcase your personality, your style, & all of the things that make you, YOU. It’s kind of an incredible thing to witness & it’s the reason I love this job so much. People matter. You matter. Your story matters.
Photos that feel like YOU & feel like HOME.
