RHODE ISLAND-BASED WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
FOR THE ROMANTICS AND A LITTLE UNCONVENTIONAL
Capturing the experience you’ll never (ever) forget
Are you the kind of couple who wants their wedding to be both elegant and unconventional? Do you dream of every moment of your special day feeling like pure luxury, with a mix of fireworks and meaningful conversations? If so, you're not alone. If you're tired of the same old cookie-cutter weddings and want to make a statement. It's all about breaking the mold and creating a unique experience that reflects the best parts of your most important relationship. It's not just about impressing others. You want your wedding to be a true reflection of who you are as a couple. That's why you want every minute to feel like golden hour, with that warm, glowing light that makes everything look magical. Your wedding day is a momentous occasion that marks the beginning of a lifetime of love and commitment.
It is a day that you have likely been dreaming of since you were a child, and now it has finally arrived. Whether you are planning a grand affair with hundreds of guests or an intimate gathering with just your closest family and friends, it will be a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. As a photographer, it is not only my job but also my privilege to capture these moments for you to look back on for years to come. The details of your wedding may fade over time, but the photographs will always remain. They will serve as a time capsule, transporting you back to the exact moment you said "I do" and allowing you to relive the emotions and excitement of that day. From the first kiss as a married couple to the joyful expressions of your loved ones, every moment captured on camera will tell a unique and beautiful story.
YOU WANT STUFF THAT EVOKES YOUR EMOTIONS AND BRINGS YOU BACK TO THOSE EXACT MOMENTS
"YOU SHOULD CHOOSE DOMINIQUE EVERY TIME."
She has the remarkable ability to make you feel relaxed and comfortable even during your most vulnerable, intimate moments. Dominique puts her heart and soul not only into her work but also into her clients. She made my partner and me feel so seen, and I truly cannot thank her enough for that. If you are looking for someone who is fun, creative, understanding, respectful, professional, and truly dedicated to her work and her clients, you should choose Dominique every time.
OUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE
What makes a wedding truly special? Is it the beautiful decor, the delicious food, or the company of loved ones? While all of these elements add to the magic of the day, there is one aspect that stands out above the rest - photography. But what sets one photography style apart from the rest? For us, it's all about capturing your day in true-to-life tones with an appropriate dose of moody. Our photography style is not just a technique, it's our elevator pitch - a quick and concise way to describe who we are and what we do.
However, there's more to our style than just a catchy phrase. With seven years of experience under our belt, we've honed our skills to capture each wedding as a unique story. We don't believe in cookie-cutter approaches, instead, we want to portray your love story exactly as you're telling it. That's what makes our photography style stand out - it's personal, it's authentic, and it's all about your love.
What truly sets us apart is our signature spice. We believe that every love story has its unique flavor, and we want to bring that out in our photos. Whether it's a touch of humor, a hint of romance, or a dash of adventure, we strive to showcase your personalities and your love in every photo.

They aren't edited, so some are a little crazy and some are more tame, but all of them are raw memories of an amazing day.

Where are you located and do you travel?
I live in the smallest state in the US, Rhode Island. I am a lover of sandy beaches, rooftops, city views, and coffee shops. My soul calls for traveling and experiencing new places. It's not just about building my portfolio. It is about creating memories, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. The love and gratitude that fills my heart with being in a new place. With this being said, Yes I do travel. I only take a limited amount of destination weddings and elopements per year so I can be fully present for every single one of my clients.
What do your travel fees include?
My travel pricing guides include all travel expenses based on the country and/or international destination. I included my travel to make it easier for you. No crazy hidden fees or planning any of my travel here.
Within the state of Rhode Island, I charge a minimal travel fee beyond 60 miles of Rhode Island for a one-night stay. If your wedding or elopement is not local to Rhode Island, my travel expenses include a roundtrip flight, hotel stay for at least 2 nights, and a rental car for transportation. I'd be happy to come up with a custom travel quote for you if your celebration is more than what is stated above.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Payments are automatically set up on my booking scheduling platform. I require a 30% non-refundable retainer to secure and hold your date, and beyond that, we will split the payment up into three installments. Just let me know on our discovery call or by email.
What if you've never been to our venue?
If I'm new to your chosen venue, it is included in every package for me to find the best spots and areas for your photos. Additionally, I always go to the venue before your wedding or the day of your wedding a little bit earlier than expected to scout out all the best areas. You never have to wonder where we are going to go. I am here to guide you, so you can focus on what matters most: your union.
Additionally, I always go to the venue either before your wedding or the day of a little early to scout it in person! You will never have to wonder if we know where we're going. I'm here to guide you so you can focus on what matters most!
How many photos will I receive?
Every wedding day is unique, so I avoid setting a specific minimum or maximum number of photos. Typically, I deliver 50-75 images for every hour of coverage. However, the exact number of photos can vary depending on the events being captured, the amount of coverage, and the sacred moments that occur throughout the day. Rest assured that I always strive to deliver the best images and will make sure to capture all the special moments without fail.
How long until we receive our images?
For weddings and elopements, the turnaround time is 6-12 weeks depending on the season. I also send a sneak peek to you within a week after your wedding so you can post to the gram and share it with the family! If you'd like your photos sooner than my turnaround time, you are welcome to purchase the rush fee.
Can we see full galleries from previous weddings?
Certainly! I'm glad that you asked. It's crucial to understand how your selected photographer captures the entire wedding day to ensure that you'll be satisfied with your photo gallery. Observing how the photographer manages various lighting conditions, the ceremony, the reception, indoor settings, and more is essential.
How will I receive my images?
I will be sending all your photos to you through an online gallery that you can share with your loved ones. Moreover, for weddings and elopements, you will also receive a package in the mail after your gallery delivery. This package will include a cute USB, any prints you've ordered, and a little thank you from me.
