Weddings
For the ones who savor the fleeting moments.
I capture inventive, contemporary, & love-filled images of how you felt on your wedding day.
Weddings go by in a blur. Months of planning culminate in just one incredible day. While you enjoy taking it all in, I give way to real memories & capture them as they unfold so that you can cherish them forever. The quiet tears, deep belly laughs, & tender hugs. Having fun with the people closest to you. All the excitement, the thoughtful details, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments - I'll be there to document.

AUTHENTICITY
When you look back on your photos a decade from now, I want you to see an honest perspective of how the day really evolved. Those in-between bits that you may not even had time to appreciate in the whirlwind of it all - the ones that feel small but someday will matter a whole lot. The unplanned, real moments that feel unmistakably you.

observation
The art of noticing is something I've cultivated over the years, and it's what makes each wedding day just as exhilarating as the last. Those special touches you curated so carefully — the wildflowers you grew in your backyard all year for your bouquet, the antique necklace passed down from your great-aunt... I look for it all.

Connection
It’s about more than just the photos. There are only so many times you'll have all your favorite people in one place, and the weight of that truth sinks in every time I hold my camera up to frame all the beauty, mess, & rarity that makes wedding days so dynamic. It’s why I feel called to serve you, your family, & your new beginning as if it were my own.
Why should we hire you? What makes you different?
Couples regularly express gratitude for my quick response times, clear communication, attention to detail & organization, and my emphasis on ensuring you're taken care of throughout the process + on the wedding day. There are no secrets with me — I'll share access to real full wedding galleries + my approach to shooting weddings & what your experience with me will look like.
You'll be impressed with fast turnaround times, personalized touches, + extra effort in editing the small things & other distractions in your photos. I'm an artist, but I'm also a professional, so know that your friends, family, & guests will be treated with respect. I know you're investing a lot of energy into this day, which is why I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year so that you feel supported with the care & attention you deserve!
What is your favorite part of photographing weddings?
I love the bits & pieces of history I pick up along the way that make the impact + legacy of the day start to sink in. From overhearing reminiscent stories being told in the bridal suite or inside jokes shared between friends & family, I see the past and present come to a head. Photos mean more when they're like memories — perfect yet imperfect. They're a testament to how life was at one point in time and can never truly be recreated because they're tied to the people in them. I look for what makes your day "you" and make it my mission to translate that energy to your wedding photos.

"Ilderina is INCREDIBLE to work with! Not only does she get the best photos and edit them in such a natural and beautiful way, but she goes out of her way with communication and to make sure that you feel comfortable! She always has a smile on her face, is welcoming, and easy to work with! I could not recommend her enough!!!!"
Brooke & Max
From the very beginning, her communication, organization, and creative eye helped bring our vision to life for our special day. On wedding day, she truly felt like our right-hand girl. Getting sneak peeks the very next morning and receiving our photos and video in such a timely manner made the experience even more amazing. I couldn’t recommend a better person to have by your side on your big day!

She captured all of the love and happiness that we share between us and our families and friends. Hiring her was the best decision we made regarding our wedding."
