easy, heartfelt, unforgettable

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello soon-to-be newlyweds!

Congratulations, you’re in love!

Thank you so much for your interest in my services.

I am so excited about the possibility of photographing your wedding.

Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important aspects of wedding planning. Your photographer will be your trusted expert as the day approaches, your close companion and art director throughout the big day and someone with whom you can connect, relax and feel comfortable throughout it all.

Together, we will collaborate, have fun and create dreamy images that capture and preserve all the amazing moments from your wedding. I strive to make sure that being photographed is a joyful experience that will enhance your big day, and never distract from it.

HI, I’M DALLAS!

second-generation wedding photographer

My mom photographed weddings and portraits all throughout my childhood and taught me so much! Thanks to her influence and guidance, I’ve been taking pictures since I was three years old, and offering wedding photography since 2009.

I’ve been with my university sweetheart for almost two decades and we’ve been married for 13 years. Together we have two kids and a bossy bearded collie named Pearl.

Our wedding was the best party and I smile every time I think about it. I adore celebrations of love, family and friendship, and love to have a good time, which is why weddings have my heart. I can’t wait to hear about your plans for your day!

The process


I’ve created this page so you know exactly what to expect during your experience with me. I have a process that I’ve developed carefully by working with my treasured clients, and I would love to take you through it.

  1. Share your details.

    Let me know where and when you’re getting married, and—most importantly—to whom!

  2. Confirm availability.

    I’ll let you know if your date is currently available in my calendar.

  3. Let’s talk.

    We find a time to chat and get to know each other. I would love to hear all your vision for your wedding day. This is also when you can ask me any questions, and tell me what you are looking for in your photographs. Hopefully we’re a great fit!

  4. Make it official.

    When you’re ready to secure your booking, you choose the amount of photography coverage and any à la carte options, then sign your contract online and send over your retainer. Once those items have been received, you’re officially booked!

  5. Walk-through.

    We touch base a few weeks before the big day to go over any final details or questions and fine-tune the timeline of your day. I call this my wedding day walk-through. I can also do this with your wedding planner or coordinator.

  6. Wedding day!

    The big day finally arrives and I spend the day capturing all the fun.

Your wedding day vision

Everyone is different, and no two weddings are ever the same. I want to know what inspires you. Tell me about how you met, fell for each other, and what your ideal wedding day might be like. I’d also love to hear about your everyday life together. Learning about you and the things you love informs the way I’ll approach your day. The more you share with me, the better I can tailor my approach to your interests and aesthetic. Also, I love hearing about your wedding’s setting, theme, colour palette and any other details you might have up your sleeves.

Your photos

After all the dreaming and the planning, your big day finally arrives and it will be everything you wanted it to be and so much more. After the wedding, you’ll bask in newlywed bliss. Then, a short while later, your photos will arrive and you’ll get to live it all over again. It’s the best! 

  • You will receive your wedding photos within six weeks of your wedding date

  • I edit every image for brightness, contrast, and composition

  • I retouch close-up portraits

My style 

I create a photography experience that will make you look and feel amazing. I continually strive to produce images that are an authentic reflection of the people in them. It’s my job to make sure you look fabulous, and feel completely comfortable while you’re having your photos taken. 

My approach is a mix of directed portraits (portraits of both partners individually and as a couple, family, and wedding party) and photojournalism (the rest of the event). I offer lots of direction so that you will feel totally at ease during your portraits, and so that we can complete the process more efficiently. Then, as your ceremony begins, I assume the role of a photojournalist and blend into the background. I will spend the duration of the event capturing moments as they naturally unfold. 

Of course, you are more than welcome to come talk to me and request posed photos during the reception as well! As the evening goes on, couples sometimes request a few stolen moments of romantic, posed photos just outside of the reception as well. 

  • I am focused and serious, but I love to laugh and will bring my sense of humour along with my A-game

  • Helping camera shy people feel comfortable and confident is my specialty

  • I believe having your portrait taken should not only be painless, it should be one of your favourite parts of the day!

Your wedding photography experience

Believe it or not, you will spend more time with your photographer than any other vendor or guest. For this reason, it’s important that you chose a photographer with whom you feel comfortable. It’s so important to me that you love your entire wedding photography experience. I will work closely with you every step of the way, with lots of clear information and communication about what to expect from booking to wedding day to the delivery of your images and any printed products you may choose.

 FAQs

  • The exact amount varies depending on your day, but for weddings we typically deliver approximately 50-75 images per hour of photography coverage. This is a curated collection of the most important moments and beautiful details, but without too much repetition and zero derp faces ;)

    Engagement sessions average 80-100 images. I don't have a limit number because I don't believe in withholding any "keeper" images from you, and promise to include plenty of images of everything part of the day I capture.

  • I always make sure to deliver a small collection of sneak peek images within one week. Final delivery dates can vary depending on the time of year, but on average engagement sessions take four weeks, wedding galleries take six weeks.

  • I'll send you a link to digitally sign your contract and your retainer can be sent via e-transfer. Luminarie requires 50% down to reserve your booking, and the remaining balance due two weeks prior to the wedding.

  • You'll receive your images through a private online gallery where you can download them straight to your computer, as well as share them with family & friends. You can also order prints straight from your gallery and have them shipped to your door!

  • Yes! I started as a film photographers developing black and white images by hand in my high school darkroom, so I still revere b&w, especially for weddings!

    You can expect a mix of colour and black & white photos in your final collection. The ratio is usually 80% colour and 20% black and white.

  • First of all, please rest assured that in 15 years of photographing weddings, this has never happened.

    If anything were to happen outside of my control I would do my best to find replacement photographer(s) whose work is of a similar style. If possible, I would also still do all the editing/retouching.

    If a situation were to arise where an appropriate replacement is not found, and I were unable to capture your wedding, your money would be refunded.

  • Yes please!

    I ask that you have a seat for me (and a second photographer if applicable) in the same room to ensure we don't miss any moments during the dinner service.

    We recommend that you ask your planner/coordinator to have our dinner brought out during the same time as the head table so that we are eating at the same time and can capture you during the times we're both not eating.

  • For weddings within 100 km of Edmonton, there are no travel fees.

    If your wedding is outside that radius, there is a modest travel fee, typically a flat rate that covers mileage and sometimes accommodations. We would discuss this prior to booking so you would be aware of all the details before finalizing your decision.
