wonderfully quirky. wonderfully joyful. wonderfully *you*.
I've been a wedding photographer for 6 years now and I've learned that there's no such thing as *just* a wedding photographer. In order to be a wedding photographer, you need to be a wedding day coordinator, boutonnière apply-er, seamstress (for those unprecedented sewing emergencies), professional bustler (there isn't a bustle I can't figure out!), have a professional pokerface (I'm like the gatekeeper of wedding travesties), floral designer, and finally and most importantly... the capturer and preserver of the most precious memories of your life. Weddings are all about relationships... between the Bride and Groom, their family, and their closest friends. I love to pay special attention to those little moments and details because it's the little moments with our friends and family that we remember most. I'm passionate about serving my clients with my whole heart and giving them the experience of a lifetime, because each client is a person and each person has an incredible story.
People often refer to me as an energetic, positive, and encouraging person who loves to create and capture both candid and posed moments that you'll treasure forever. I'll NEVER deny a sweet treat, so don't hesitate to reach out to chat about your wedding over coffee + donuts!

My name is Victoria and I'm a Central Indiana based wedding photographer on a mission to photograph the madly in love and everyone feel like the real rockstars that they really are in front of the camera. Some of my other prized titles is dog mom to a very adorable Golden Retriever and wife to my high school sweetheart. Most days you can find me tending to my garden, taking our dog out on long walks, and sniffing out the best donut joints wherever I am.

How I'm different >>
Now-a-days, photography has become such a common hobby and it seems like everyone is a "photographer". The thing that many people don't realize is that being a good wedding photographer isn't something you can just buy on the internet or become overnight. Being your wedding photographer means pouring my heart and soul into your wedding day. It's creating relationships. It's knowing when to be and where to capture the most fleeting and beautiful moments, being your calm within the storm, and understanding how important little moments are and constantly looking for them. For me, this isn't just a business. It's my passion.
My philosophy is plain and simple: to tell the story of the greatest day of your life. When you look back at your photos I want you to remember the overwhelming excitement bubbling up from inside of you as your dress is slipped on, feel the wave of relief and love wash over you the first time you saw your dapper Groom, the look of pride in your father’s eye as he walks you down the aisle, the way you giggled uncontrollably because the word "husband" felt so silly and foreign on your tongue. Photographing weddings might be my career, but it's so much more than that to me because these photos that I capture aren't just images to me, they are meaningful moments preserved in time forever.
your wedding is personal to me.
so what makes me different?
my photography story >>
my story >>
Being a wedding photographer means so much to me. Honestly, I never thought of "photographer" as being a career choice that I could make growing up, or that I'd ever be able to make it as a photographer. I always saw it as one of those far-off dreams like becoming a full time musician, professional athlete, you get the drift.. Not sure where my life would lead me, I took a cadet teaching course my senior year of high school and loved it. So then, I pursued Elementary Education at Purdue University and felt like that was what I was supposed to do. Junior year I felt my passions shifting. Education became less of something that I felt like I could do for the rest of my life and my love for photography became something that I could see a real future with. Why conform to the social norms when I could take a shot at pursuing what I am most passionate about?
After I finished my degree at Purdue and got my teaching license there was this huge open door that was really intimidating to me. This pivotal moment where I could do whatever I wanted. I took an aiding position at a local elementary school so I could try out the idea of being a full time photographer, and I've never looked back since. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, doing exactly what I'm supposed to do, and it's liberating.

Victoria was so amazing to work with. From the beginning she mets with us both in person, coordinated a beautiful engagement session, and returned our photos to us quickly. When the wedding came along she was a life saver! It was so fun that we already had worked with her before, and she was so easy going and did a great job of capturing the shots we wanted, staying on time, and getting the spontaneous pictures as well. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone, and feel so lucky we found her for our big day!

Victoria and Morgan did an absolutely incredible job! They had shining personalities that made everyone feel comfortable. They were incredible at giving directions to make sure everyone looked their best and to make sure everyone was confident in their own skin. Victoria, with the help of our dj, even helped play the part of wedding planner and helped to keep the evening moving smoothly. Victoria got our pictures back to us so quickly! I will forever recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is absolutely incredible!!!

Was referred to Victoria through our wedding venue. I fell in love with the bright and whimsical yet sophisticated photos she captured for her other clients and she did NOT disappoint us!! She loves what she does and it shines through in every picture she takes. Our engagement session was perfect. But the way she captured the pure magic of our wedding day... there are just no words. I could sing praises all day long, but her work speaks for itself!

We just did our engagement shoot with Victoria and could not be more happy about our decision to choose her as our photographer! She made us feel so comfortable and made sure we were having a fun experience. The photos are very reflective of that. Cannot wait to have her by my side on the wedding day!!!

Hands down deciding to hire Victoria for our big day was the best decision we made while wedding planning! Our pictures are STUNNING and something that I will treasure the rest of our lives. My now husband (still not used to getting to say that yet 🙃) was not excited to pay for a professional photographer but even before Victoria left for the evening he thanked me for pushing him to agreeing to hire her. She was so much more than our photographer! She helped with every detail of the day and made me feel gorgeous. I am so thankful for Victoria and for her amazing second shooter Morgan. We have definitely found our lifelong photographer and plan to hire her for all of our special moments in the future!

Victoria was a recommended vendor of our venue. After extensive research, we knew Victoria was our photographer. Everything is easy and professional with Victoria. From our engagement shoot to wedding photos to interacting with us, our family, other vendors, and friends she caught everyone’s attention with her sweet and gentle spirit as well as incredible skill and efficiency. Victoria is welcoming to all people and puts everyone at ease. She is a stellar artist—-nothing short of sensational!!! She is the real deal, straight forward, and FUN!! She is bubbly and positive the whole time we were with her—and is a master problem solver. She fixed my flowers when they didn’t show. She fixed my dress to tie it perfectly. She went ABOVE and BEYOND. Victoria and our venue was our best lifelong investment. We are so proud of our photos, which we got back in like a week!!! We have a lifelong respect and friend in Victoria.

Victoria made the whole wedding photography process simple and easy. On the day of the wedding she was the calm within the storm that kept me sane! These pictures are timeless and I am so happy we had Victoria document our memories for one of the best days of our life!
