Feel like you in front of the camera

After photographing more than 450 weddings, I’ve learned that the most meaningful images come from genuine moments — not stiff poses or forced direction. My approach is simple and intentional: I guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and create space for natural movement, connection, and emotion.

You’ll feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourselves. The result is timeless, true-to-life images that look exactly how your day felt.

A Calm, Guided Approach You Can Trust

Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a production. I help you stay grounded, relaxed, and present by:

  • Offering simple, natural posing guidance
  • Keeping your timeline flowing smoothly
  • Anticipating moments before they happen
  • Blending candid storytelling with classic portraits
  • Helping everyone — family, wedding party, guests — feel at ease

If you’re still planning out your timeline, here’s a helpful guide to planning a wedding timeline.

Frequently Asked Wedding Photographer Questions

Please reach out to get the most updated availability and pricing. Weddings for Luckybird Photography (including an engagement session, wedding album, and 2 photographers) start at $4500 for a typical 8-hour day. Engagement sessions alone start at $450.

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. Once you’re ready, I’ll send a customized proposal. A signed contract and $1000 retainer secure your date.

You’ll be reliving your wedding day with sneak peeks just 48 hours later! The week after your wedding day, you’ll receive your own blog of edited photos. Finally, six weeks after your wedding, your photos will be ready!

Of course! I am primarily a Toledo wedding photographer, but I love it when couples trust me outside of Ohio – I have photographed destination 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 500-700 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 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 months in advance for their wedding photography. I accept weddings up to 2 years out.

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!

Always. Every couple is welcome here.

I deliver consistent, true-to-life edits that reflect my style. I don’t replicate other photographers’ editing work.

Let’s Make Magic.

Weddings start at $4500.
