Images that celebrate your story and honor your heritage. Timeless, elegant, and classic are a few words to describe the style of photography I'm known for creating. Inspired by Annie Leibovitz and Polo Ralph Lauren, I'm drawn to photos that speak volumes and communicate the authentic and purposeful quality of a life well-lived.
Your Experience
As a wedding and engagement photographer, I never get tired of seeing the journey of my couples' love stories. From surprise engagements over a sunrise picnic to walking down the aisle in your dress toward your eagerly awaiting groom, I treasure the responsibility of documenting the moments most precious to you. Little moments of the wedding day such as tender embraces with aging grandparents, joyful laughter between bridesmaids, and father/daughter dances are close to my heart. I believe you deserve to feel beautiful, confident, and relaxed in front of the lens. I love being able to get to know my couples and understand the things that are most important to you for your upcoming wedding day.
my heart for your Story:
The ideal wedding experience starts at 9 hours of coverage, a second photographer, a complimentary engagement session, with delivery included in your online gallery. I believe that your pictures are worth printing, and so I love to offer custom wedding albums as an a la carte service as well. For elopements, destination, or micro weddings, please inquire for a custom quote tailored to your needs.
Weddings
While each wedding is unique, investments for my full coverage wedding photography services typically start at $6,000.
Engagement sessions are a great way to celebrate before your wedding day, and to feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens. While complimentary engagement sessions are included in my signature wedding services, if you are looking for a standalone engagement session, please inquire for more details on pricing and availability.
Engagements
Rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, engagement parties and more. Beyond just the wedding day itself, I love to offer photography services for every step of the journey all the way from the proposal to the altar. Photography services are customized to best fit the coverage necessary for your wedding related event. Investments starting at $750.

Schedule Your Engagement Session
Enjoy Celebrating Your Love
Upon selecting your venue & date, please fill out the contact form, say hello, and tell me all about your upcoming wedding day dreams! A signed contract and paid retainer will officially reserve your date. Following that, we will create a customized wedding timeline based on your amount of hourly coverage.
Your engagement session is one of my favorite ways to meet and get to know each other prior to the wedding day. This is a perfect opportunity to celebrate your engagement, and create photos to use on all those save-the-date cards you'll send to family and friends. Sessions are a complementary gift with each wedding collection!
As it gets closer to the big day, you will receive a Bridal Questionnaire one month out from your wedding date which goes over final details to ensure you will have a seamless wedding day experience! It's my joy to document this new season of life for you and your love. After the wedding, I send a few sneak peeks a couple days after, and the final gallery will be delivered online within 4-6 weeks!

Dreamy
"Adela did such a perfect job at capturing every part of our wedding day! We felt so comfortable in front of the lens and truly had so much fun the whole day! She gave me time to myself when she noticed my stress level rising, and gave my husband and I time alone right after the ceremony to soak in what just happened!! She not only rocked shooting the actual wedding day, but her edits are so DREAMY! We will always treasure our wedding photos and can't thank Adela enough for these irreplaceable memories!"

Special
"Adela photographed my husband and I 's engagement shoot and wedding! She did a remarkable job on both occasions. She is great about making her clients feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. On our wedding day she captured all the special moments of the event and had the photos back to us quickly. Everyone I showed the wedding album too commented on the high quality of the photos. I would highly recommend Adela to photograph your special occasions."

"Adela photographed our wedding and did such a fantastic job! She was incredibly detailed leading up to the event, always available for questions, and came prepared with a plan. In the midst of all the stress of our big day, she was very professional and made us feel like we could leave this aspect of the wedding completely in her hands. Her and her team were able to capture all of the important moments that we wanted. Our photos turned out amazing, and we will always love having the memories to treasure."
