you're probably here because you either think you're ready to book me, or are absolutely ready to book me, but really just want to make a good impression by doing what i asked soooo many times on that last page, or because you genuinely are obsessed with me, and that is sick, because i already know i'm about to be obsessed with you.
buuutttt, first, the most important letter.

—

the shit i do isn't perfect. i think this is an important concept, because everyone always feels like everything needs to be "just perfect" on their wedding day.
it doesn't. life isn't perfect, we aren't perfect, and your wedding or elopement isn't going to be perfect. i think what we need to realise, collectively, is that not being perfect, is... perfect.

you probably came into this thinking that you're looking for the perfect person to get those perfect pictures of your perfect first kiss, the perfect walk down the aisle, the perfect first dance...those key photos that make a wedding "a wedding";
but that's not why my besties book me. they book me for making sure to also get those moments, but my babes book me to capture the messy moments, the little imperfections, the things that maybe don't go "perfectly", but the things that you'll actually remember happening. the things that will invoke the most feeling, and the moments that truly make you and your lover who you are.

i've spent the last seven seasons learning that no wedding will ever go off without a hitch, and that pressure needs to stop being applied so aggressively, because it's actually a good thing to not have a perfect wedding, and that it's more important to have, maybe a bit messier, but a perfect-for-you wedding.

i also don't give a shit what your wedding looks like. i don't care if it's in a mansion on the italian coast, or if it's in the backyard of your nebraskan family's farm; i care about you, i care about your story, because ultimately, that's why you're booking me. you're booking me to experience your day with you, which means the better i know you, the better i capture your experience, and the more truthful and intimate it will be to look back on.
i'm not a checklist item, i am a bestie boo who you are going to tell everything to for probably the next year or so. tell your maid of honour to move on over, because they're gonna have to wait a lil bit to get you back.

i adore mcdonalds, and also french fries, but i also love lifting and am typically in the gym 5-6 days a week because staying in shape and keeping myself healthy in all aspects is incredibly important to me.
i can get a little fuckn crazy with things. and if you don't swear at all, you're probably going to think i'm obnoxious with how much i swear.
i am allergic to everything and it's the saddest thing of my life, but i thank the gods every day that i can still eat potatoes.
i can drink alcohol like when a camel comes back to water after a long bout in the desert, which truly does not make sense to me or literally anyone.
i find even numbers incredibly pretentious, and only like odd numbers.
and lastly, i am obsessed with stories. mainly love stories, because love is the most beautiful feeling in the world, and makes for the sweetest stories to tell.

at the end of the day, i'm not here to try to convince you to book me. i want you to book whoever you feel will best be able to capture your day truthfully and authentically to you, and if i'm not that person, that is okay! it's so important to me that i am in love with your story, and that you are in love with the way i tell stories. if you can't be open and comfortable around me, you should look for the person who makes you feel open and comfortable. vulnerability is the most important thing to capturing an authentic love story, and my couples tend to be most vulnerable with me, which is how i can tell their love story so damn well.

so there! you have it. this is who i am, this is what my art feels like, this is why i do what i do, and if that's a vibe, well, i'm pretty damn excited to meet you.
and with that, it's finally time to fill out this damn questionnaire and get this disco party started! 

oh my god am i honoured to have your presence right here. this is so special to me, because this letter is probably the most important thing on my entire
website. i know it's long, but your wedding is
an entire day of celebrating your love, which
is a big deal, so in the grand scheme of
things, this isn't that long 😌
