Shades of Gray Photography – aesthetically and holistically focused on real life experiences.

MAKING YOUR DAY eternal

Establishing trust creates a strong foundation to all great relationships. You can rely on me to guide you with your vision, to be a great communicator and director, make you feel comfortable, and most importantly, provide what you’re looking for.


The most important thing to me is making you the happiest couple regarding your photographer. After everyone goes home, your wedding photographs are one of the only records you’ll have to remember your special day. Therefore, it is my biggest goal that you treasure your photographs as an investment forever, as well as love our experience working together.

WEDDINGS

Whether traveling from afar or have a specific vision for your wedding, I’ll make sure we capture it all. Shades of Gray offers several wedding packages, special add ons, as well as an hourly package for intimate weddings.

DESTINATION WEDDINGS

I’ll travel wherever loves takes you! Shades of Gray is covering airfare for all weddings at this time (excluding certain fees). Please email me to discuss your proposal.

ELOPEMENTS

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way. Traveling to New Orleans or nearby, we could rendezvous for something traditional or we could spend a romantic afternoon somewhere fun!

THE PROCESS

|

FOCUSED ON You

One-on-One

A strong level of communication is key to my client relationships. My photography service includes full email/call support, questionnaires, extra in-person or virtual meetings as needed, and a “Final Details Meeting” 2-3 weeks before your wedding.

The Adventure Begins

You will be guided by my questionnaire and consultation process so that I can get to know you more and gather everything for your big day.. This process also allows for fun and creative brainstorming, which we will finalize in our “Final Details Meeting.”

Rest assured, I will always be in touch with you or your planner about important photographic ideas, whether before or during your wedding event.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

It is my hope that you can look back at your photographs and treasure them forever, as well as love our experience working together. All wedding photographs will be in high resolution digital format and delivered via an easy-to-use wedding gallery, along with beautiful print options. Photographs downloadable at no extra cost.
