photography is the pause button of life
You know the feeling when you see an old photograph of yourself and you suddenly remember that moment, the way you felt, the smell, how things sounded as the shutter clicked when that photo was taken and for just a split-second, you got to travel in time to relive a moment that had escaped your memory? That’s how I want your photos to feel - immediately nostalgic. A way for you to time travel to your favorite parts of your life’s story, the simple, the grand + everything in between. My approach is simple, be yourself, do what you love, think of me as a friend + we will create fine art from your life’s authentic moments.

MY GOAL
Every single couple I work with, I CARE - I really really care so much about you + your fiancé, your wedding day + your photos from the time we start chatting and long after I deliver your images. The honor it is to document your wedding day + be trusted with your memories, never loses it's gravity + cherishment.

My goal is for you to feel comfortable on your big day, knowing that it's being documented as purely as your love story.
All galleries are delivered within 90 days, sooner when possible + expedited editing is available as an add-on option. Part of my editing process does include removing minor distractions like blemishes, scratches or something that isn’t permanently there. I will not alter your bodies or artificially add anything to the photo that wasn’t truly there and cannot guarantee distraction removal, it is on a case by case basis.
I want to deliver honest work in every gallery so your photos are timeless and true-to-you.
