Vibrant photos for vibrant people

I get it. Posing for photos can be awkward.

But, I’ve got you! After photographing over 400 weddings, my approach to photographing weddings is a little different from what’s considered normal – but it is also what sets me apart.

I focus on bringing out your LOVE for each other and capturing memories and emotions instead of poses. I’ll help direct you on how to stand and what to do, but then we get to have some real fun. It’s less like: stand there, put your hand there, tilt your head this way, click, next, and more like: walk towards me while bumping hips, giggle and try and touch teeth, practice your first dance together, jump in the air while popping champagne and singing T-Swift at the top of your lungs. You get the idea.

I want you to focus on each other, not the camera. I want you to remember the moments, not the directions I gave.

Let’s go on an adventure together.

Frequently Asked Questions


Please reach out to get the most updated availability and pricing. Weddings (including an engagement session, wedding album, and 2 photographers) start at $4500. See detailed pricing here.

Contact me to make sure I’m available for your date, then we’ll schedule a call to make sure we’re a good fit together. A signed agreement and $1000 retainer make it official and then I’ll get to work learning how to best capture your love story.

The day after your wedding, you’ll receive sneak peeks via Instagram. Two weeks after, you’ll receive your own blog of edited photos. Finally, six weeks after your wedding, your photos will be ready!

Of course! I love it when couples trust me outside of Toledo and Detroit – I have photographed weddings internationally, so I am passport-ready, and also all over the Midwest.

Depending on the wedding and how much of an emphasis you have on the details of the day, a typical wedding includes between 600-800 hand-edited photos.

You will receive personal printing rights, which means you can print your photos and post to social media, but Luckybird Photography will always follow the industry standard and retain the copyright as well as the RAW files.

Your photos will have an overall similar hand-edited look (similar to an Instagram filter) and will also be straightened and cleaned up as needed.

The photos will not be retouched (skin softening, arm slimming, teeth whitening, etc.). I’ll take care of any acne or bruises I see, but I want you to look like a slightly polished-up version of yourself. You’re beautiful just the way you are.

Most couples book 9-12 months in advance for their wedding photography.

I recommend reaching out when in talks with your venue with date options so we can all work together on a date and make sure I am not already booked!
