What I am all about.
I am invited into a little slice of heaven during a wedding weekend. It is not lost on me that I am the person behind the camera perceiving what photos you will look back on to re-live joy or to remember in grief.
The most beautiful galleries I have delivered are those where I was gifted the freedom to document creatively. These moments in time happen once & you need to trust the human discerning what you will value as life progresses.
There is no pressure to have it all together. I have come to appreciate the messes. It’s your wonderful life. I could shoot at one location for one hundred couples and they would all be unique collections of moments in time.
Within my vision, I want to freeze embraces and expressions you will want to relive. Newlyweds who are moment soakers will be able to see their true selves when they look at their photos.
Have I mentioned I love photographs? The finite moment already lived, but tangible memory that reignites something unexplainable in your soul.
I am inspired by the thought of the pictures I take being held decades later. Those years will have seen a lot of life. You will want to remember the hues of the day and the expressions of your people year after year. What a gift to walk beside you as you experience it all with open hands.

“THE WAY YOU PHOTOGRAPH MOMENTS, DETAILS, AND EMOTIONS IS truly art AND IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING!!”
There is a photo of me and my mom hugging right after the ceremony, both of us with tears in our eyes. Every time I see that photo I am instantly brought back to that exact moment. My mom had been diagnosed with cancer just a few weeks before, and I said to her in that moment, "I am so glad you are here." That photo has so many layers and tells a story in a way my words never could.
