Natalie & Jackson

"Liza is who you need to book!! I reached out to her 6 weeks prior to a surprise engagement at Jax beach. She responded within 10 minutes and was very professional. She sent me forecast updates and made sure everything was smooth. The engagement took place at 6pm and she arrived at 5:30 to set up. The pictures were STUNNING and I am so glad I booked with her. I recommend her for anything you can. Prices were great and the work was unreal."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jennifer & Blake

"My fiancé and I have never done a formal photoshoot together so we weren't sure what to expect. Liza made the entire experience easy and comfortable for us. We had a great mix of posed photos, and candid shots, which is exactly what we wanted. During the shoot, we felt at ease and that our love for each other could really show through the photos. I was so pleased when we received our photos back, and used them all over our wedding website and for our save the dates.


I would tell anyone that they are in great hands with Liza and that they are going to receive quality photography from a stupendous photographer."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nicole & Andrew

"I didn’t have a single hesitation when booking Liz. Her work online and the movement within her photos was exactly what we wanted. She was so easy to talk to, and her experience and professionalism came through from the very first conversation.

She walked me through everything and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. What surprised me most was how deeply she listened to what we wanted, and how passionate she was about making sure our wedding day was captured perfectly.

During the shoot, I felt magical. The entire day was calm and stress-free. And when I saw the photos, I couldn’t believe how clearly I could feel that day all over again. The emotion she captured was unlike anything I ever imagined.

If you're thinking about working with Liz, just know this. You will absolutely have incredible photos, but the experience itself is something rare. Her style is so natural and warm. We eloped and later had a family reception, and almost every guest asked about the photos. I truly wish we weren’t states apart. I would book her again in a heartbeat, even for my extended family.

She’s become a friend. And it all started with me sending a DM after seeing her work on Instagram. Now I’m writing this to all of you."

THE PROCESS

 

expand the options below for more details

 

1. FIRST MEETING

After confirming the availability I suggest we do a Facetime or Zoom call. You don't have to know a lot of wedding details at this point, it's just for us to meet, talk about your love story, engagement and what brings you together! It's best if you both are on the call — this helps me find the best approach, and it creates a more relaxed connection between me and you two, gives more friendly vibes. During the call I walk you through the entire experience, so you know what to expect from working with me.

2. BOOKING

I understand that the plans are still planning at the time of your inquiry. I only need to know a few basic details to book your wedding day:

  • date
  • venue or location
  • approximate number of guests
  • how many hours you think you'd need (you can always add more closer to the date)

If you have more info at this point — great, tell me everything!

Next, I send you a formal contract that outlines the said details, deliverables, turnaround and terms, and the invoice for the deposit. The standard deposit is 50% of your selected photography plan.

If you are unsure about the exact hours, we can book you with the smallest package (to secure the date) and upgrade it closer to the wedding day!

3. PLANNING

One month before your wedding I send you a questionnaire that goes more into the details like the tentative timeline, family shot list, any family dynamics I should be aware of etc. and more questions about your preferences. This ensures a smooth workflow that doesn't interfere with your wedding experience.

4. WEDDING DAY

This is your day! I document it in the best detail without interfering with your experience. I don't talk during emotional moments, I don't ask you to pose when you're living your experience. Your wedding should not feel like a photoshoot. Only during a dedicated time for the portraits I guide you and your guests. I mix traditional heirloom portraits (when everyone is being pretty and looks into the camera), fun prompted portraits and candid moments in-between. Goofing and playing is encouraged at all times!

5. DELIVERY

  • Within 24-48 hours after the wedding you will receive sneak peeks. You will be the first to post these photos online if you wish!
  • Within 7-14 days you'll receive a full wedding gallery, organized by the timeline (getting ready, first look, ceremony, congratulations, details, portraits, reception etc.).
  • A separate gallery of the reception may be made available to all your guests by a QR code. Only you (the couple) will receive the full gallery with no watermarks, so it's up to you which photos to share and with who.
  • A photobook is usually ready within 6-8 weeks after you made your selection of the photos. This depends on the photo lab availability but I do my best to place your order as soon as possible.
  • Additional photobooks, wall art and prints may be ordered through your gallery, the processing time is usually 1-2 weeks.

6. HAPPILY EVER AFTER

The wedding high fades, the life keeps lifing. Your happy memories stay with you forever, for the generations that will come. And if/when they come, I am honored to document your anniversary, pregnancy, newborn baby's first smile and all your meaningful moments as your family grows.

It really is a huge honor. I am blessed with your trust, endlessly grateful for all the families that keep choosing me to document the chronicles!

FAQ

 

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Yes! Travel expenses are included within 30 miles around Jacksonville, travel fee beyond it starts at $0.80/mile of driving or flight + hotel + car rental.

Send me your venue/location and I'll calculate the travel fee for you!

What is expected turnaround?

Appetizer ("sneak peeks") - 24-48 hours.

Full gallery - 7-14 days.

Video - 14 days.

Photobook - 6-8 weeks since your final selection.

Can we customize a plan to fit all our needs?

Yes! Any plan can be customized, let me know your vision, and I will bring it to life.

What if we just want the photos of us in a wedding attire?

If you are not doing the ceremony, go ahead and book a regular couple's photoshoot! I had a few clients who had their photos done a few days before or after the wedding ceremony. It's not for everyone but totally doable! It puts much less pressure on me, and it's going to be more affordable for you.

Can we order two or more photo albums?

Yes, you can order extra copies for parents & friends and customize the details for each receiver. Also you can order mini versions for gifts!

What is your favorite cake flavor?

Spiced Honey cake from Ukraine is always #1 for me. We call it "Medivnyk" (meh-DEE-vnik) which comes from "мед" — meaning "honey" and the name literally meaning "honey cake". It's made out of many thin and soft layers of spiced gingerbread with a vivid honey flavor and custard cream. It is absolutely amazing with a bit of lemon curd!
