Documenting with delight
The way I work
I’m a film wedding photographer who believes wholeheartedly in the power of joy. While I bring unwavering expertise and poise to our time together—more than anything, I aim to cultivate a laid-back environment where you can feel, look, laugh, and love like your best self.
Experience-seeker and total family person who believes today’s love is tomorrow’s legacy
After receiving only a handful of usable images from my own wedding after hiring a friend-of-a-friend hobbyist photographer, I immediately knew: I wanted to become an exceptional photographer for others.
I wanted to use my art form to capture magic, preserve memories, and tell the honest and complete story of what are often short-lived celebrations. I wanted to make meaningful connections that acted as the catalyst for incredible images. I wanted to show up intuitively and emotionally for the couples I served—to calm their nerves, anticipate their needs, and foresee the moments that were begging to be captured. More than anything, I wanted to be the photographer that allowed you to let your hair down and have fun.
It was that deep desire to create art that mattered in a way that was memorable that led to where I am today as a fine art wedding photographer. I have a lifelong thirst for knowledge and am never quite done taking workshops or embarking on mentorships with top industry talent. With almost ten years of experience and an approach that stems from merging expertise with ease—I pride myself on ensuring our time together is as enjoyable as it is intentional.

I’m never too busy to stop and smell the fresh, exquisitely-arranged flowers. Garden roses will forever make me weak in the knees.

I’ll never turn down an iced coffee, a restorative spa day, or time spent outside under big, blue skies.

When I’m not capturing couples or continuing my education—you’ll find me at home or on the beach, nose-deep in a good book.

My family is everything—bring on nights under string-lights, cuddles on the couch, and belly laughs around a messy table.
