Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

Vibrant, dynamic, and fun! I love bold, true-to-life colors, genuine moments, and finding that sweet spot between artful posing and real, unscripted emotion. I’ll guide you every step of the way with prompts and direction, so you have nothing to worry about.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

From your first inquiry to final gallery delivery, my goal is to make this process fun, easy, and completely stress-free. We’ll chat about your wedding plans, get your date officially booked, and celebrate with an engagement session. Along the way, I’ll stay in touch, help with timeline planning, answer questions, and make sure you feel prepared and excited for the big day. When your wedding arrives, all you have to do is be present and celebrate. I’ll handle the rest, capturing the big moments, the little in-between moments, and everything that makes your day uniquely yours. Think of me as your photographer, timeline helper, and hype man all rolled into one.

What is included in your most popular packages?

The Vow Collection is for couples who want to be fully present on their wedding day while knowing every moment is being captured. With 8 hours of coverage, two photographers, a complimentary engagement session, and a beautifully edited online gallery, you’ll have everything you need to relive your day for years to come. You’ll also receive a wedding album design consultation plus an album credit, because your memories deserve more than just living on a screen.

What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?

Your wedding day will fly by, so I always encourage my couples to steal away for a few minutes, just the two of you. It’s a chance to take it all in, breathe, and actually be together. These quiet moments often lead to some of the most emotional and meaningful photos of the entire day, and trust me, you’ll be so glad you took the time.

What current trends have you seen at weddings?

One trend I’ve absolutely loved is couples making their wedding day feel uniquely them. I’m seeing more couples incorporate their personalities, hobbies, pets, favorite movies, and little inside jokes into the celebration. Those personal touches not only make the day more meaningful, but they also create some really fun and memorable moments for everyone involved.

What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

Choosing your venue is a big decision because it really sets the tone for your entire wedding day. My biggest advice? Choose a place that feels like you. Think about the vibe you want, make sure it comfortably fits your guest list, and always ask about things like weather backup plans and vendor restrictions. And definitely look through real wedding galleries, not just the venue’s marketing photos, so you can see what the space actually looks like on a wedding day.

A Little About Us

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

Your wedding day is going to fly by, and my job is to help you enjoy every second while capturing it all. We’ll be by your side all day, from getting ready to the last dance. After photographing more than 400 weddings, we know the flow of a wedding day, can anticipate needs before they happen, and help keep things stress free. I’m more than just your photographer. I’m your hype man, timeline helper, calm presence, and occasional dress fluffer. I’ll guide you when needed, keep things fun and relaxed, and capture the real moments as they unfold. Most importantly, I genuinely care about my couples and want your experience to be just as incredible as your photos.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

Before I was capturing love stories, I was creating beats! Back in college, a friend and I produced rap instrumentals and dreamed of starting a business selling them to artists. One night, while brainstorming names, Sonacity came to me—a mix of sonar (sound waves) and sound city (a hub of music and creativity). I loved it so much that when I transitioned from music to photography, the name stuck. While I swapped out beats for shutter clicks, the core idea remains the same—capturing rhythm, emotion, and storytelling in a way that feels real and unforgettable.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

From a Haircut to “I Do” – How I Became a Wedding Photographer It’s pretty ironic that my journey into weddings started in a barber’s chair—especially since I’m basically bald. But that’s exactly how it happened! I was getting a haircut when the stylist mentioned she was getting married. I told her I was a photographer, and before I knew it, we were in touch about me capturing her wedding. I was upfront—I was new to weddings—but she and her family took a chance on me. That one opportunity changed everything. From that first wedding, I was hooked. The energy, the emotions, the once-in-a-lifetime moments—I knew this was what I was meant to do. Now, I get to combine my love for photography with my passion for helping couples feel amazing on their big day. Whether it’s hyping you up during portraits, keeping things stress-free, or making sure every detail is captured, I’m all in. It all started with a simple conversation in a barber shop, and now, I get to tell love stories for a living. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

Build a timeline that prioritizes you. It’s easy to focus on what you’re “supposed” to do, but the best weddings are the ones where couples actually get to enjoy the day. Want extra time with your wedding party or a few quiet moments together? Make space for it. As your photographer and hype man, I’ll help create a timeline that keeps things running smoothly while making sure you have time to soak it all in. Less stress, more celebrating. That’s the goal.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

As both a photographer and a party lover, my favorite wedding tradition has to be the reception. There’s just something about that energy. The formalities are over, the nerves are gone, and everyone is finally able to let loose and celebrate. Packed dance floors, grandparents showing off surprise dance moves, friends singing at the top of their lungs… those moments are pure joy, and as a photographer, they’re some of my absolute favorites to capture.

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

My couples love to laugh, embrace the chaos, and throw one hell of a wedding day. They’re the ones bringing big energy, huge laughs, and a packed dance floor. They match my nerd: a little adventurous and unapologetically themselves. Maybe they bonded over Star Wars, D&D, hiking, or obscure memes at 2 a.m. Whatever their thing is, they lean into it and make their wedding feel like them. Most importantly, they trust me to do my thing. They want real moments, genuine emotion, and photos that feel alive, not stiff or overly posed. If you’re down to laugh a lot, party hard, and maybe do something a little unconventional, we’re probably going to be best friends by the end of the wedding day.

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

One of my favorite things to hear from couples and their guests is how comfortable and stress free they felt throughout the wedding day. Weddings can be a lot, but my goal is to make the experience feel easy and fun. I’ll hype you up, keep things relaxed, help however I can, and capture all the real, in between moments that make your day uniquely yours. By the end of the night, my couples often tell me it felt like having a friend with a camera there all day, and honestly, that’s one of the best compliments I can receive.
