This is about way more than photos. It’s about how it felt to stand there, just the two of you, when the noise fell away. The look your partner gave you when no one else was watching. The quiet inhale before the vows. Or the way your kid reached for your hand at breakfast, still half-asleep. These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto—because they’re the ones that will hold onto you.
the experience
you bring the love, nerves & anticipation—i'll bring the calm (and bad jokes)
Whether it’s vows or veggie sticks on the floor—I’ve got you
No forced poses. No stiff timelines. Just space to breathe, be yourselves, and actually feel the day as it’s happening. I’ll guide where it’s needed, step back when it’s not, and catch the moments you didn’t even know you’d want to remember.
Your calendar probably already looks like a game of Tetris—but this one’s easy. We need to make sure we’ll actually get along (and that my sense of humour is the right amount of lame for you). You’ll be spending more time with me on your wedding day than almost anyone else, so it should feel natural. Like, “hang out with your people and fit right in” kind of natural. We’ll talk about what you’re envisioning, what matters most, and anything else you want to throw my way.
I know, I know—but it's not just another meeting
getting to know
each other
01
Once we've gone over the details and what’s truly important to you, we’ll create a plan that feels true to you—not one that squeezes the life out of our time together. And if you’re getting married and working with a planner, even better—I’ll collaborate directly with them so everything (not just the timeline) flows.
No overwhelming, colour-coded checklists here (well, not that I'll show you anyways)
making a plan that fits who you are
02
We’ve gotten to know each other, swapped stories, and built something rooted in trust. Now’s the time to let it all come together. Whether it’s spontaneous toast that brings everyone (aka me) to tears, or your toddler deciding the only acceptable outfit is a fairy dress. Whatever shows up, I’m there to hold space for it—to bring calm and guidance where it makes sense, and to quietly step back when it doesn’t. Because that’s what makes this work personal, the photos truly feel like you—and what turns a quiet, unscripted moment into something you’ll want to hold onto.
The beauty isn't just in how everything looks—it's in how it actually feels.

We’ve likely spent months—maybe even over a year—getting to know each other and bringing your vision to life. So I’m definitely not about to disappear on you now. You’ll receive your Preview Gallery within a week (because I know you’ll be eager to see it), and your Final Gallery within six. Every image will be carefully edited, thoughtfully sequenced, and delivered with intention. If you’ve added an album or printed work—lucky you—we’ll be chatting again soon to sort through the details and make sure everything feels just right. And if you suddenly miss my dry humour or want to catch up over a glass of pinot, I’ll be around for that too.
Because this part matters just as much.

What sets Gen apart is her eye, but also the way she creates an environment where you can truly be yourself. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with a photographer who understood our vision and helped us create lasting memories that we’ll cherish forever.
"From the moment we reached out, Gen made us feel so at ease."
★★★★★
Not only was she extremely organized and responsive leading up to our shoots, but the pictures she captured were a work of art. She made us feel so relaxed and worked at our pace for both our maternity and newborn shoots. Everything about our experience with her was amazing. Needless to say, we've found our family photographer for as long as she'll have us!
"I would give Gen 100 stars if I could!"

Getting Ready
I'll get there 2-3 hours before the ceremony—plenty of time to settle in, say hey, and start capturing the lead-up. That includes you and your love getting ready (together or separately), meaningful little moments, and the details you’ve picked with care—rings, cufflinks, perfume, hand-written vows.
intimate moment
If you’re doing a first look—or something else intentional like a vow reading, slow walk, or quick tequila shot together—it usually happens 1–2 hours before the ceremony. It’s one of the few times during the day you actually get a moment alone (and yes, I’ll be there third-wheeling quietly with a camera).
your people
This is the part of the day where you get a quiet moment with your inner circle—whether that’s your wedding party, your family, or whoever’s in your corner. We’ll take a few group shots and, if you’ve planned something special like a champagne toast or a gift, there’s space for that too.
Ceremony
This is when time speeds up and emotions hit different. The vows, the glances, the barely-there gestures—some of it will stick with you, and some you’ll only realize happened when you see the photos. My job isn’t to make it feel bigger. It’s to make sure you don’t miss what was already there.

WHAT YOUR DAY COULD LOOK LIKE
Family Photos
Right after the ceremony, we’ll grab those classic portraits with parents, siblings, and your chosen family. I’ll guide the flow and keep things moving, usually with the help of someone on your end who knows everyone and can help wrangle. A little planning up front means this part stays quick and relaxed.
Cocktail Hour
You won’t miss your whole cocktail hour because we're off taking photos—I promise! And, if you’d rather save all of your portraits for golden hour and soak up the energy with your people, we'll make it happen. I’ll be capturing the hugs, the laughter, and the weirdly competitive lawn games.
dinner
Dinner doesn’t mean downtime (for me, anyways). And hopefully this isn’t the first time you’ve gotten to eat. I’ll be watching for those in-between moments—whatever that looks like for you: speeches, reactions, a few quiet breaths… or just finally finishing your drink.
the party
This is when the nerves drop and the shoes typically come off. Whether you’re deep in conversation, losing track of time on the dance floor, or setting up for a killer exit—you’ll be having WAY too much fun to notice my old-lady dance moves or that I’m having a drink with your Aunt Linda (camera in hand, obviously).

BOOK THE CALL
Just a quick chat to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit.
bring it together
Once the contract is signed and your 25% retainer is paid, we’ll dive into the good stuff: timeline, details, priorities, and everything that’ll make this feel like you.
We’ve gotten to know each other, swapped stories, and built something rooted in trust. Now’s the time to let it all come together.

From our first call to the final gallery landing in your inbox, every step has a purpose. This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about making sure you feel seen, understood, and that the whole experience added something real—and not just to your photos.
