HEY YOU..
When you started planning your wedding, did you feel overwhelmed by all the options and all the inspo out there?
I did too.
You scroll through Pinterest and every wedding looks the same. Your wedding starts to feel like a mashup of other peoples Pinterest boards rather then what’s in you and your fiancees hearts.
You want to create a wedding day that’s not only beautiful and curated to your story but one fill of amazing memories for you and your guests that when you reflect back later every image and every memory from the day will be fill of nostalgia and no regrets.
This day will be full of moments you’ll want to hold onto forever. The laughter, the hugs, the quiet glances—they’ll happen so quickly, and you don’t want them to slip away. You’re already imagining how it will feel to look back and relive the joy, the love, and the little details that made your day uniquely yours.
Until you hire a photographer who understands how to capture your wedding day in a way that truly reflects you, you’ll keep wondering if the fleeting moments will be remembered.
BUT HERE'S THE SITCH:
This is why I created
To Have and To Hold
A tangible wedding photography experience
A tangible wedding photography experience
A blend of digital photography, analog film and content creation to capture your day in a tangible way curated to you and your fiancee
With two professional photographers together we can capture what you care about on your wedding day, the special people, details and newly wed moments!
READY TO have the wedding you envision?
Created for the couple who..
Wants their wedding day to be about moments
IS CRAVING BEAUTIFUL storytelling IMAGERY
VALUES the meaning behind the details
You prefer photos you can feel, not just visuals. That show the warmth of love, excitement of the day. The meaningful moments is what matters most to you.
You want to relive your wedding day through emotions and atmosphere through timeless, creative images that feel like a work of art.
Every part of your wedding is carefully chosen to tell your story and reflect what matters most to you.
Freezing moments in time to have and to hold forever!
My approach is to document your day as it unfolds. I capture mainly prompted photos with minimal posing to focus on the moments unfolding with a few fashion inspired photos mixed in. From getting on your wedding gown to grooving at your reception. Giving you an experience that'll be timeless and photos that will help you relive your day as you look back at them for years to come!

"Lavender has been an incredible photographer"
From the very beginning of our wedding journey, Lavender has been an incredible photographer! Not only was she super adaptable to our needs, but she was professional, helpful, and came up with some awesome ideas for us. Everything from our first coffee meet up, to our engagement shoot, and then to our actual wedding day was great. Everytime we recieved more photos from Lavender and Tim they just kept getting better!
Highlight was definitely recieving a few raw, printed photos on the day of our wedding, it was such a treasure to take with us into our honeymoon. Highly recommend Lavender's work! ❤

"Lavender did an amazing job on our wedding photos"
She was so onto it and made sure to capture everything. We really appreciated having some sneak peek photos the morning after our wedding. She also printed out some photos at our reception from our day, having something to look at straight away and show others was such a bonus.

"The experience has been relaxing, and we are very happy with the final result."
We recently had our engagement shoot with Lavender and enjoyed the experience. From meeting with her for an initial consultation to receiving our photos. Her approach to the shoot made us feel very at ease and as a result captured the best of ourselves - and we look forward to having her for our wedding shoot overseas!

"We recently had our engagement session with Lavender and Tim and we could not be happier."
We had a special request to include our little boy in the shoot and they were absolutely amazing about it. Not only did they take the most incredible photos of us as a family, but their patience and way they interacted with him was so special. They made us feel at ease from the very second we met them and we cannot wait to see them again for our wedding ❤️
