Just like love, no two weddings are exactly alike and your photos should reflect every beautiful eccentricity. Like reconnecting with an old friend, you can expect a low-stress, honest experience where you're free to be fully yourself.
The Sokol & Co. Wedding experience
What to expect
YES! SIGN ME UP!
Sound good and ready to get started?
While you soak up the bliss that is newlywed magic, it’s time for me to get to work. I spend this time editing your photos and curating the gallery to include the best of the best photos. I strive to have sneak peeks to you within three days of your wedding so that you can share that “we’re married!!!!!” energy with the rest of the world -- with something other than a blurry cell phone pic. Then 8 weeks later, pop the champs honey because it’s time for your reveal celebration!!
We’ll get together, put your photos on the big screen and relive the day. Once we’re done, we can design your album together as all of my packages come with a print credit. After all, these are your memories and you might as well turn them into tangible pieces of art. Photos aren’t meant to live on a computer screen, even if Facebook is forever lol.
After Your Event
As a documentarian, I like to capture the real. Not just how everything looks but how it feels. When you’re in front of the camera, if there’s a moment where you just don’t know what to do with your hands, know that I gotchu boo. I know when to direct, to guide, to make you giggle, and when to sit back and be quiet so you can just enjoy a moment of peace. I’m here to document your story in a way that’s honest and true to who you are. These are your memories, after all.
During Your Event
I’ll be there for you. I’m no stranger to the fact that you’ve probably never fully planned a wedding before, so you have a lot of questions. Photo-related ones and non-photo related ones. But guess what? I’ve got answers. I’m here to make your wedding as easy as possible so you can relax and focus on YOU. I like to think it’s my inner girl scout coming out -- I’m always prepared.
Before Your Event
“Even though we were complete strangers, we instantly felt comfortable with her and it felt like we were old friends just taking pictures. Not only is her style candid and documentary, she manages to capture every look and small detail.”

How Do we prepare for our session?
I'll help you when it comes to pretty much all aspects of your session -- from picking out outfits that look good and show off your personality to finding the perfect location. On the day of your session, show up with an open mind and be ready to have fun. I recommend you spend some time with your significant other before your session begins -- treat the day like a date. If you need it, feel free to bring some liquid courage. And then on wedding days, I have a guide to assist in planning.
WE ARE AWKWARD AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE. WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR HANDS?
I GOT YOU! I've been there and let me just say, I totally get it. I'll be there, guiding you with direction and prompts to get you moving and interacting with each other. I want your time in front of the camera to be comfortable and for you to have tons of fun. Sometimes, I'll have an artsy moment and pose you, but we'll never do anything you hate or that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Do you offer discounts?
No, I don't offer discounts. I take a limited amount of sessions and weddings so that I can give my couples the attention that they deserve. With that said, please don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see something that will work with your budget. Payment plans and custom packages are an option if we are the right fit. Connection is more important than money to me.
can you photoshop us?
One of my main goals is always to make you feel beautiful. I'm all about body positivity and self love. With that said, any thing that is temporary, I gotchu (razor burn, acne, bruises, etc.) But if there's something you feel self conscious about, let me know and we can work around it in posing.
HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE GET? AND DOES THAT INCLUDE RAW/UNEDITED PHOTOS?
For sessions, 30+ and for weddings, 400+. It really depends on the day because every single one is unique. I don't ever give RAW images. I carefully select images that make it to the gallery. Part of this process is trusting me and loving my style -- and that's my shooting style, editing style and just my personality.
