Experience
Working witH Athena
With over 20 years of experience in the wedding photography industry, I’ve had the honor of capturing countless love stories, each as unique and meaningful as the last. This has been an amazing career, but it is also my passion. I bring not only my technical expertise but a deep understanding of the emotional weight behind each moment. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joyful energy of the dance floor, I strive to document your day with authenticity, artistry, and care.
Communication is at the heart of everything I do. I take the time to truly listen to your vision, your priorities, and what matters most to you. This isn’t just about beautiful photos—it’s about creating an experience where you feel understood, supported, and confident every step of the way. Your wedding is a major investment, and I don’t take that lightly. I respect the trust you place in me and treat each wedding with the attention it deserves.
What sets me apart is my commitment to quality and a hands-on approach. I don’t outsource my editing or hand your memories off to someone else. Every single image is personally edited by me, with intention and care, to ensure your final gallery is cohesive, refined, and true to your story. This isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about crafting a timeless collection that you’ll treasure for years to come.
FAQ
How would you describe your style?
How would you describe your style?
My style is my own! Over the years I have picked up techniques and an approach to photography that is uniquely me. I think you'll get a little bit of it all......Styles that inspire me? Fashion, Editorial, Journalism, and Fine Art. More than anything, I think you'll find that I create a images that are emotional and evocative, and that ultimately say something that is authentic and true about my subjects. I want to convey more than just what you can see. How does it make you feel?
Why should we hire you? Uncle Bob has a really nice camera!
I love this question. It's clear that having nice equipment is no longer enough to separate the professionals from the hobbyists. Anyone can buy an excellent camera and offer to take your photos for you. I strongly recommend using caution in the department! Let uncle Bob take your wedding photos and you may regret it. We've all heard the horror story before.... A friend who got married and wished they had hired a professional because their uncle Bob, or family friend with an awesome camera didn't deliver. When finding your photographer ask your self the following questions....
Can we meet with you before we hire you?
Absolutely! I am always available for you. Many of my long distance clients have opted to meet over Zoom or by phone which is so awesome and really is a perfect way to connect when there's distance. My local or semi local clients can meet me for a coffee or a meal at any time. Some people even hire me by phone or e-mail without ever meeting me directly. Whatever your comfort level is is totally fine!
We really love your photography, but your price range is a bit out of our budget. Are we out of luck?
At the top of my priority list is creating amazing images for people who love photography. When I realize a couple is excited to work with me, I'm always open to being flexible and finding something that works for us both. I love to throw in additional hours, bonus prints and maybe an engagement shoot if we really jive! It never hurts to ask. So please, do!
