my approach

 documenting & artful poses

My mission is to not only create art with your love story but to simultaneously document it authentically. My goal for your gallery is to take you back to the moment we captured it every time you see it. I want your photos to give you an emotional + captivating experience you can feel years and years from now.

Finding the perfect photographer for your big day is of the upmost importance. I believe that not only should you love their work but also connect with them on a personal level. We will be chatting like besties when it is all said & done! 

Before booking, I like to schedule calls to be sure we are the perfect fit! I will be there with you every step of the way to help create timelines, recommend other vendors, bounce ideas off of, etc.! I like to send customized questionnaires throughout the planning process to help me better gather information for your day!

 I strive to make your day as stress-free as possible! You can count on me to kindly direct wedding parties & large families to be sure we are moving efficiently while still allowing time for those authentic moments to happen! 


I like to capture your day exactly how it unfolds with an editorial eye. I am not going to create a story that doesn't exist on your day! I am here to preserve your love for years to come! 

When posing, I like to incorporate movement! I will give you artful prompts and relaxed poses that feel natural to you! My goal for you is to never wonder what to do with your hands!
