Why work with me

Celebrating All Couples

I believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all couples regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or ability.

Personal Connection

Getting to know each couple I work with is the best part of my job! This way I can jump straight into getting creative with everyone and capture a lot of beautiful images from the beginning.

Stress-free photography

My goal is always to make the couples I work with feel completely comfortable being themselves in front of the camera. I’ll be guiding you and giving clear, easy direction throughout the day.

Zero percent. After shooting 150+ weddings I’ve learned that the best photos happen when you’re living in the moment and making memories with your friends and fam. My focus is on capturing genuine moments in a candid, relaxed way. I get to know your guests and blend in with the party so that your photos reflect the true experience of your best day. And don’t worry, I always set aside time to capture the gorgeous details and a few of those classic couples portraits as well!
