Maine & New Hampshire Wedding Photographer // Why Our Initial Consult Feels More Like Grabbing a Drink Than a Job Interview

Let’s be real—wedding planning can feel like a never-ending series of job interviews. You meet with vendors, answer the same questions, listen to the same sales pitches, and by the end of it, your brain is fried.

Well, let me make this easy for you: our initial consult is nothing like that. It’s more like meeting up with an old friend for a drink (except instead of cocktails, it’s probably coffee... )

No Awkward Small Talk, Just Good Vibes

If you’re expecting a stiff, overly professional interview where I grill you about your wedding timeline like I’m hiring you for a corporate job—yeah, that’s not happening. As a matter of fact, my interactions will always be more casual than stuffy. Instead, we’ll probably end up talking about your dog, how you two met, or how your partner proposed (and whether it was romantic, hilariously awkward, or a total disaster—because those are my favorite stories).

Less Pressure, More Connection

I don’t believe in making this feel like some formal transaction. You’re not just hiring someone with a camera; you’re bringing in a person who’s going to be with you on one of the biggest days of your life. So, let’s actually connect. I want to know what gets you excited, what makes your relationship yours, and if you’re the type of couple who wants epic, cinematic portraits or just wants to party hard while I document the chaos.

Come As You Are (Yes, Even in Sweatpants)

Seriously, no need to dress up for me. If you want to chat in your PJs with a cup of coffee, I’m all for it. My goal is for you to walk away from our conversation thinking, “Okay, that was fun. And also, I totally trust this person to capture our day.” Because that’s what this is all about: trust, comfort, and making sure we’re a good fit.

Let’s Make This Fun

Your wedding day will be a rollercoaster of emotions (in the best way possible), and I want to make sure you actually enjoy every second of it—including the planning process. So, let’s grab that coffee, ditch the awkwardness, and talk about how we can make this whole experience effortless and fun. Sound good?

Shoot me a message, and let’s get this party started.
