About Me

With over 17 years of experience, I still find immense joy in capturing couples’ wedding stories. Building a connection with you is key for me. I become a trusted friend on your special day, seamlessly blending in as an extension of your family. This allows me to document authentic moments as they naturally unfold, without any disruptions. My goal is for you to be completely present, soaking in every precious detail of your celebration.

Let's face it, wedding planning can get intense. It can become a full time job for a time! However, your wedding day itself shouldn't stress you out. My focus is on making my contribution a breeze. We'll iron out all the details in the weeks leading up, crafting a seamless timeline that keeps things flowing smoothly on your big day. My goal? To capture the magic of your wedding without any stress or drama, so you can be fully present and soak up every joyous moment.

I bring a spirit of creative collaboration to every wedding I photograph. I'm always eager to explore unique ideas and go the extra mile to capture the essence of your special day. I understand every couple is unique, and my goal is for your photos to reflect the things that matter most to you. I encourage open communication and welcome your input throughout the process. After all, your enthusiasm for creative possibilities is what fuels truly remarkable wedding photography!

Who You Are

You’re in search of a photographer who puts you at ease and earns your trust.

  • You’ve got an authentic love: Being yourselves and deeply in love matters to you. It’s not about the spectacle of the day.

  • Emotional Storytelling: You want honest, authentic, and creative documentation of your wedding, capturing all emotions - not just the predictable ones.

  • Spontaneity Over Poses: You value unscripted moments over posed portraits.

  • Flexible and Excited to play: Rather than rigidly following a Pinterest board, you’re open to embracing however the day unfolds, whether that be clouds, sun, wind or rain.

  • Clear Vision: You’re excited about your wedding and have a precise vision for what you hope it to be.

At it’s core, the focus is on each other, whether it’s an intimate gathering in your parents backyard or a boisterous celebration at the glitzy downtown ballroom. You want to be fully present during your wedding day, allowing me to capture dynamic, emotional, authentic, and artistic moments and images that will be cherished for a lifetime.
