Your wedding day is a celebration of your love — not a photoshoot. It’s about the connection you share, the vows you exchange, and the moments spent with the people who matter most. As a Wilmington wedding photographer, my approach is rooted in documentary-style storytelling, capturing the real and unposed moments that make your day feel alive.
I’m not here to stage or orchestrate every detail. Instead, I focus on telling your story as it naturally unfolds, the fleeting glances, the laughter, the soft, quiet in-betweens that you might not even notice in the moment. These are the memories that bring your day back to life, long after it’s over.
Because when you look back at your gallery years from now, I want you to feel your wedding day exactly as it was — honest, emotional, and beautifully true to you.
a heartfelt personalized approach to your wedding day
This isn’t a show-up-and-shoot kind of experience. When you book me, you’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re gaining a creative partner. As a Wilmington wedding photographer with a background in fine art and storytelling, I approach every wedding with fresh eyes, because no two love stories are ever the same.
Beautiful photos don’t just happen — they’re built through trust, intention, and thoughtful collaboration. From our first conversation to the final gallery, I’m here to help shape a photo approach that reflects your story, your style, and your heart. About a month before your wedding, we’ll have a detailed Pinterest planning call to uncover not just what inspires you, but why — the lighting, emotion, or feeling that draws you in. That understanding allows me to photograph your day with total care and intention.
Beyond weddings, I also co-own The Roam Collective Co., a retreat and styled shoot company for photographers. With over 50 curated shoots behind me, I bring an editorial eye for styling, light, and storytelling — seeing your wedding not just as moments, but as a whole visual experience.
Because when we’re aligned creatively and emotionally, your photos become more than beautiful.
They become yours.
Collaboration is at the heart of what I do
Where I Call Home
Film has always been at the heart of how I see and tell a story. Blending 35mm, 120mm, and Polaroid film alongside digital allows me to capture your day with both honesty and depth, the emotion of the moment paired with the timeless texture that only film can bring. It slows everything down in the best way, inviting presence, patience, and intention. The soft grain, the richness of tones, the way light lingers a little longer — all of it helps tell your story with a warmth that feels nostalgic and deeply human.
Your final gallery becomes a layered narrative, part editorial, part storytelling, and entirely you. Each frame, whether digital or film, is chosen with care to preserve the feeling of the day as it truly unfolded. Because film doesn’t just document a memory — it feels like one.
The Timeless Beauty of Film
My approach is about telling the full story, capturing the raw, unscripted moments while also creating timeless, beautifully composed images. As a Wilmington wedding photographer, I blend a storytelling eye with a refined editorial touch, giving you a gallery that feels both real and elevated.
For most of the day, I’ll quietly document things as they naturally unfold — the laughter, the tears, the fleeting glances. But when the moment calls for it, like during portraits or key details, I’ll gently guide you with thoughtful direction to create those classic, polished images that stand the test of time.
This balance allows your photos to feel effortless and true to you, so when you look back, you’ll remember not just how your wedding looked, but exactly how it felt.
A storytelling APPROACH

what working together will look like
Every part of my process is tailored to you two and your love.
the discovery call
After you inquire, we’ll schedule a relaxed video call to get to know each other. Since every couple and every wedding is different, this time gives us a chance to talk through your vision, your priorities, and what matters most to you.
These calls are an essential part of my process—because this isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. It’s a creative collaboration built on trust, understanding, and shared intention. I’m not just showing up as another vendor on your wedding day; I’m showing up as your photographer, your creative partner, and someone who genuinely cares about making your day feel authentic and meaningful.
After we chat, I’ll send over your personalized wedding investment guide—tailored specifically to your celebration and everything you’re dreaming up.
your engagement session
Every package includes an engagement session, and this is where the fun really begins. Using your questionnaire as a guide, I’ll help you plan an intentional session that feels like you, whether that means starting with coffee at your favorite spot, wandering along the beach, or exploring somewhere that holds meaning in your story.
This time together isn’t just about taking beautiful photos (though we’ll absolutely do that). It’s about creating space for you two to be fully yourselves—comfortable, connected, and completely at ease in front of the camera before your wedding day.
all the planning
The time between your engagement session and our timeline-building call is all about dreaming and planning. This is when you’ll start curating your Pinterest board, gathering inspiration, and dialing in all the meaningful details of your day.
While I’m not a wedding planner, I’m absolutely here for you every step of the way, whether it’s offering insight on lighting, location ideas, or how to make your day feel even more intentional and true to you.
Around the six-month mark, you’ll receive a quick check-in email from me to touch base, see how planning is going, and offer support wherever it’s needed, a little reminder that I’m always in your corner.
timeline + wedding day questionnaire
Around four months out, you’ll start filling out your wedding day questionnaire, this is where all the details begin to come together. At about three months, we’ll dive into building your custom photo timeline. We’ll collaborate through a shared Google Drive to keep everything organized and stress-free, and depending on your day’s complexity, we can hop on a call or even meet for coffee if you’re local to Wilmington.
This part of the process is all about intention and ease, making sure your day flows smoothly, your priorities are honored, and you can be fully present while I capture it all.
final planning call
About one month out, we’ll hop on a final call—or grab coffee if we’re local—to walk through your completed photo timeline together. From there, we’ll dive into your Pinterest board side by side. It’s important to me that I understand not just what you pinned, but why—what you’re drawn to, how it makes you feel, and how you hope that inspiration translates into your own day.
This part of the process is completely collaborative. The more I understand your vision and emotional priorities ahead of time, the more intentionally I can photograph your day as it naturally unfolds—creating images that feel both personal and artfully true to you.
wedding day prep
he week before your wedding, I’ll do a final venue walk-through, even if I’ve photographed there before. It’s important for me to get a fresh feel for the space, scout the light, and make sure every detail aligns with your vision. Behind the scenes, I’ll be prepping gear, charging every battery, loading film, and making sure my bridal emergency kit is packed and ready to go.
From this point forward, we’ll move all communication to text to keep things simple and stress-free during those final days. You’ll have everything you need, and I’ll be right there when you need me, calm, prepared, and ready to document it all.
It's here - Your Wedding Day!
When your wedding day arrives, I’ll be there with multiple cameras in hand—yes, digital, film, and Polaroids—to photograph the soul of your day as it unfolds. From the quiet, emotional moments to the joyful chaos, I’m there for it all.
My photography style is rooted in a storytelling approach. I’ll step in with gentle direction when needed, but never make your day feel like a photoshoot. I’ll guide you through locations, adjust timelines when necessary, and help family find their best ceremony spots. Whether we’re staying perfectly on schedule or pivoting in the moment, I’m there to keep things flowing effortlessly and make sure you feel fully supported.
Through it all, my goal is simple: to keep the energy light and the focus on what matters most. So you can stay present, soak it all in, and create beautiful memories in the places, and with the people, that mean the most.
Wedding Previews
Within 72 hours of your wedding, you’ll receive your preview gallery, typically around 100 photos, a little glimpse into every part of your day. These images are ready to share with friends and family while the memories are still fresh, giving you a beautiful way to relive the joy and emotion of it all right away.
Your full gallery!
Within 6–10 weeks of your wedding day, you’ll receive your full gallery, complete with digital images, 35mm film scans, and your Polaroids. If you’re dreaming of a custom album, this is also when we’ll begin that design process together, creating something timeless and tactile to preserve your story.
And as a little something tangible to hold onto, I’ll be mailing you your original Polaroids from the day, because some memories are meant to live off-screen.
all the resources
After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with access to your private client portal. Inside, you’ll find two personalized questionnaires—one to help me get to know you both on a deeper level, and another to capture all the important details about your wedding day.
You’ll also receive my 100+ page wedding day guidebook, filled with helpful tips, inspiration, and insight to make your planning process feel seamless. Plus, you’ll get a link to start curating your Pinterest board (we’ll use that together later on!).
And because I love adding a few extra touches, you’ll find some surprises and resources tucked in along the way—little ways to make this season even more intentional, enjoyable, and full of excitement.
Secure Your Date
Once you’ve looked over your personalized investment guide and you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over your private client portal. Inside, you’ll find everything you need—your contract, invoice, and resources—all in one organized place.
To officially reserve your wedding date, a $1,500 retainer and signed contract are required. Once those are complete, your date is secured and we can dive into the fun part—bringing your vision to life.
From here on out, I’m fully in your corner—ready to collaborate, dream, and plan every meaningful detail alongside you.
Bri was a dream to work with on our wedding day. We live out of town but it was still a breeze planning and working everything out for our special day. Bri was described as a “ghost” by some of our wedding guests meaning she was so discreet but let me tell you we got our sneak peaks and we are OBSESSED. I just can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery!!! Thank you again Bri for capturing us and of course helping us pose when we are the most photogenically challenged people 😂 Bri is THE BEST!

Bri was amazing! I told her the vibes I had in mind for our shoot and she delivered👏🏼 Our photos turned out so good, and we had so much fun shooting with her! Even though we hadn't met beforehand she made us feel so comfortable and it honestly felt like we were just hanging with a friend the whole time. 10/10 would recommend her!

It truly was an amazing experience working with Bri and the incredible team she assembled!!! From checking in before the wedding, to going above and beyond to make me and my husband feel confident and comfortable, she truly did it all and I can’t imagine having another photographer capture this incredible day. The pictures are something we will cherish forever and I love that she captured our personalities and the feel of our wedding. THANK YOU BRI!!!
