From Polaroids to Professional
A little about my story, my approach, and why I'm genuinely excited about your celebration!
The Story that Brought Me to The Work
I was 5 years old when I was given a Polaroid camera at my sister's wedding (she's 17 years older).
I ran around that day and fell in love with the act of taking photos, especially in that format – instant and tangible. From that point on, my only wish for any gift or special occasion was a trip to the drug store to buy or develop disposable cameras. Back then, I mostly specialized in photos of our pets, grass, and VERY candid shots of our family. Let's just say my definition of 'candid' has improved a lot since then.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an outdoor-loving, music festival attending, eclectic personality who's always trying new things in the name of excitement, adventure, and learning (a condition also known as ADHD). In 2019, I decided to turn my lifelong photography obsession into a business, right before everything went crazy with the pandemic. What could have been a disaster turned into the best thing that could have happened. Starting in such an unpredictable season meant couples put their trust in me early on, and I poured everything into nurturing that trust. Those opportunities have now allowed me to shoot hundreds of weddings all over the world and being invited into those stories will never stop meaning everything to me.
Being a serial hobbyist who loves modern versions of vintage media (Instax cameras, record players, and digitized film), traveling, and staring into the night sky means I bring genuine curiosity and adventure to every wedding I photograph. With the ability and freedom to always create and try new things, I honestly can't imagine a better job.

as seen in:
Honest. Intentional. Yours.
With me, your photos are going to feel like you. Not some staged, everyone-smiling-at-the-camera version of you. I'm talking real laughter, real tears, and all the little in-between moments you may have missed but absolutely won’t want to forget. Through a mix of documentary storytelling, gentle direction, and film-inspired editing, I will help you craft a collection that is timeless, romantic, and true to life.
From the getting-ready to your final send off - when you open your gallery you’ll find more than images, you’ll find the feeling of being there, all over again.
A documentary approach that tells your unique story
My commitment to every couple
Here's the thing, I could talk all day about my camera gear or editing techniques, but that's not what makes me someone you can trust with your most important day.
What matters to me is showing up and curating an incredible experience for every couple, regardless of who they are or how they choose to celebrate. I've photographed couples who eloped with just their dogs present, and I've documented 250+ person celebrations that went until 2am. Every single time, my job is to honor the story exactly as it is.
If it’s important to you, it’s important to me.
I believe in being the kind of person you can count on when things don't go according to plan. When it's pouring rain on your outdoor ceremony day, when family drama pops up, or when your timeline gets completely thrown off, I'm the calm, steady presence who adapts and keeps everything moving forward.
Most importantly, I'm here to create a space where you feel completely yourself. No judgment, no pressure to be anyone other than who you are. That's how the best photos happen, and honestly, that's how the best relationships happen too.

Think We'd Be a Good Fit?
If you're reading this thinking "yeah, this sounds exactly like what we want," then let's chat. I want to hear about your plans and our conversation will help us both figure out if we're meant to work together. As always, there’s zero pressure, just honest talk about your vision and how I work.
Let's figure that out together
