Love the Way You’re Seen

Your wedding is a big deal. It’s a massive plot point in the story of your life.  After your wedding is over, your photos preserve your memories. You’ll look back on these photos for the rest of your life. Getting your photos exactly right is a responsibility we take seriously.

We believe looking at your wedding photos should fill you with joy because you love how you look, because you vividly remember the joy you felt on your wedding day, and because the photos captured everything—including the small moments that flew by the first time.

Capturing what’s special about you is my passion

  • Ever wonder why celebrities always seem to look perfect in every photo? It’s not because they’re better than us. It’s because their photographer is paying attention to every last detail of what makes them specifically look their best. This is exactly the level of care we put into every one of your photos.

  • Do you dread photos where you look stiff and awkward? We all feel a little awkward sometimes, but I will help you get out of your head and feel confident so you never have to ask “what do I do with my hands?”

  • The instincts and skill I’ve developed over 17 consecutive years of photographing weddings mean I can make stunning photos even on the fastest-paced day surrounded by the rowdiest guests. When I’m your photographer, you’ll have a smoother and more fun wedding day experience AND more candid moments you’ll love to relive in your gallery.

  • My husband Caleb and I are a true team--two skilled photographers who work together seamlessly. When you choose coverage with two photographers we’re not just duplicating the safe, expected photo, we’re adding more distinct, beautiful photos to your gallery so you can relive more of your day. 

  • To look good in photos, you have to first FEEL good (for real). We are not just your photographers, We are part of your wedding day success team. I’ll coordinate with your other vendors (especially your planner and videographer) so we can all do our best for you.

  • We are inclusive. We welcome and celebrate people of every race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, ability, and size.

“I had several conversations with Libby leading up to my wedding for Libby to really dive into my style, my top priorities, a list of all wedding party and guest photos, and everything in between. I felt so confident and stress free going into my wedding weekend knowing Libby was on top of everything and getting all the shots even when I wasn’t around.

My guests raved about how well Libby gave direction for their photos, and how comfortable they felt in front of her camera. She also brought a drone to get amazing aerial shots that got everyone so hyped up! Those became some of our and our guests’ favorite images of the weekend.

Libby has an insane work ethic. She provided us with over 300 previews just five days after the wedding. We were in awe that these were just the previews, and how quickly she edited them. We’re constantly being told that our photos look like they are straight out of a magazine. I cannot recommend Libby enough! She is truly one of one, and she will make you feel like the center of the universe — and you will look it too in her photos!”

“I can’t tell you how much fun my husband and I had getting our pictures taken when we normally shy away from the camera. From the way she directs you to pose and the way she is able to make the experience fun is something we will never forget!

Their warmth, care, and attention to detail made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, and the photos reflect that. We will cherish these photos forever, and we can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for more than just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about your story, look no further. Libby and Caleb truly are the greatest!”

“Libby shot our wedding in Colorado, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable, made planning our wedding day timeline and shot list the least stressful part of the wedding planning process, and creates absolutely beautiful photos.

We wanted our photography to capture the feeling of the day and feel like ‘us’, and she absolutely delivered that. She is also an awesome person to hang out with on your big day! We hope to have an opportunity to work with her again. ”

P.S.

I love weddings, but I despise high-pressure, scammy sales tactics. If you’re interested in working with me, but not sure, let’s talk. If you don’t end up feeling like I’m the right fit for your wedding, this isn’t going to get weird. I’m here to help.  I’ll never ask you to make a decision you’re not ready for.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you and answering even your wildest questions.
