overcast, and you glance out the window hoping the rain stays away. Inside, there’s laughter, the soft clink of a mimosa glass, your best friend pinning a stray curl, your mom trying not to cry too early. The butterflies are real. After all the planning, it’s finally here.
I step into the room quietly, already smiling. I offer a hug—because sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed before anything else. I’ve done this many times, but each time is different. This one is yours. And from the moment I arrive, I’m the quiet calm in the room—offering direction when it’s helpful, and stepping back to watch things unfold when it’s not.
Later, you’re walking down the aisle. The music starts. Your eyes find theirs. It could be raining right now—or not—but it wouldn’t matter. You’re fully in it. This is the moment everything led to.
I’m here to see it all—big and small—and give it back to you in a way that feels like truth. Photographs that won’t just sit on a drive, but live in frames, pulled out on anniversaries, shown to future kids, and kept close.
If you’re looking for someone who notices the little things and cares deeply about telling your story—I’m ready when you are.
wedding photographer, quiet observer, and someone who feels deeply honored to be a part of something as meaningful as your wedding day.
My photography journey began 17 years ago with a camera I bought off eBay using my first paycheck. I didn’t know exactly what I was chasing—I just knew I needed to create. Somewhere along the way, I realized I had a unique way of noticing, and people began to recognize that. That was the moment I knew I wanted to share this part of myself with the world.
I earned a scholarship and enrolled in a commercial photography program... then dropped out soon after. I didn’t want to follow formulas or create photos that looked like everyone else’s. I wanted to understand why certain images moved people. I wanted to study theory, emotion, the psychology behind composition. I just wanted to make art that meant something.
And years later, here I am—still chasing the beautiful, fleeting things. The way sunlight refracts through your champagne glass. The breeze gently playing with your hair. The quiet look your person gives you when they think no one else is paying attention. These are the moments I live for. The ones you might not catch in the rush of it all—but I will. And I’ll give them back to you—not just to remember the day, but to feel it all over again.
When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m probably curled up with something caffeinated, attempting to tackle my ever-growing TBR pile. I love a good romance novel. I dance in the living room with my daughter and make up songs just for her. I spend weekends around a board game table with friends—glass of white wine or a sweet red for me, thanks. And I’m usually dreaming up something creative, probably with a vision board, a themed playlist, and more open tabs than I care to admit.
If you're looking for someone who will care about your wedding like it’s their own, notice the little things, and create art that reflects it all—welcome, friend. You made it, and I’m so glad you’re here.
From first e-mail to final gallery, I keep the process simple and stress-free—so you can focus on soaking in every moment while I handle the rest. I’m here to make sure you feel heard, cared for, and completely at ease.
