Your wedding is one of life's milestone moments... A moment when the people who have held you up, made you who you are, and helped you get to this very spot - on this very day - are gathered together. It's the past and future colliding, in the best way. And the photographs that capture it are brilliant reminders of just how loved you are.

Will you be hosting a welcome party or rehearsal dinner? Having photo coverage of this more intimate time with friends & family is a popular add-on to wedding day coverage.
Your best day (yet!). Wedding days are full of joy, tears, beauty and fleeting memories. As a wedding photographer for 10 years, I love working with clients who want to experience their day with the friends & family, and receive timeless photos that capture all the love.
Let's get to know each other & celebrate your upcoming wedding! Engagement sessions are an amazing way to get comfortable being photographed, and capture images together in a different season than your wedding.

There's no question that a stunning floral design or the perfect mismatched bridesmaid dresses make a celebration aesthetically beautiful. But, after a decade of photographing weddings, I know it's the relationships that will truly make your celebration come alive. That's why I'll approach your day like a treasure hunt. While I'll meticulously plan to capture true-to-you portraits and big, iconic moments, I'll intentionally watch for the unexpected and worthwhile connections — the moments where you're fully living in the present and feeling all the love.
All the candid, in-between moments with your family and friends that truly reflect how the day felt.
Whether your personalities lean more playful and joyful or more soft and romantic, your wedding portraits will feel like YOU. I'll also use my artist's eye to fix anything out of place, make sure your hair looks great and find the prettiest light. You won't find any stiff or unnatural posing here - just enthusiastic, down to earth guidance and plenty of encouragement to be yourselves! You'll be left with a gallery that has timeless, gorgeous portraits for your walls as well as candids that make you feel all the love.
Polished, timeless portraits that still feel true to you as a couple.
An experience that prioritizes your ability to be present and enjoy your day above everything else.

An organized, personable approach to your day

On a wedding day, I strike a balance between leading/directing the day and stepping back to capture what is naturally unfolding. Many brides have commented that I have a calming presence, yet also give enough direction to keep the day flowing. My goal is for to feel present and stress free so that you can soak up all the love that is surrounding you! I will chat with your family and wedding party, insert humor and lightheartedness to help everyone feel comfortable getting their photo taken, but my personality won't "take over" the day!
