I approach photography how I approach life, slowly and with curiosity. I find that when I take a moment to breathe deeply, I am able to get just a little bit lost in the wonder of how light falls on people. And I don't really think much needs to be added to that.
I shoot a mix of digital + analog photos and Super8 film. Where editorial polish meets documentary soul, I'll capture your day as it naturally unfolds- wrapped in effortless beauty and delicate detail. I'll capture your love story in a way that feels as genuine as it does captivating.
There's a lot that goes into planning your wedding day and I'm here to make sure having your love story captured isn't something you have to worry about! My approach blends documentary photography and traditional portraiture with both sensitivity and artistry. All of the details are necessary and important but you know what's way more important? Your love.
The tender kind, the wild kind, the passionate kind, the intoxicating kind- whatever brand of love you've got, let's make sure it's got space to be the star of the show.

What you can expect with me as your photographer
Someone to bring calm and margin to your day. What I'm going to give you is space- space in your timeline to linger with those you love, space for yourself to take a breath, space to let loose, cut loose and be truly present. Because really, what's the rush?

Someone to bring experience. I've been at this whole photography thing a while and I know what I'm doing. You won't have to worry that I'll miss the shot or the moment- I promise, I got you.
Someone to bring movement. I've had countless couples fret over their awkwardness in front of a camera. I'll gently guide and prompt you, get you laughing, dancing, and having so much fun you forget I'm even there.
Someone to bring organization. As loosey goosey as I am, I also know how to wrangle wayward family members and make sure the groomsmen are where they need to be on time. I'll take charge when needed so you don't have to.
