Emotive storytelling for your wedding day

Dreading the idea of your wedding photos looking that special brand of 80s prom awkward?

Cringing at the thought of being forced into the same tired poses you’ve seen a zillion times before? Wishing you could make every image in your wedding gallery feel genuine and true to you? Then, I’ve got great news, because you’re in the right place! 

Whether I’m watching Westley say, “As you wish,” to Buttercup or I’m snapping photos as a bride walks down the aisle, I’m such a sucker for a good love story! With a passion for turning sincere moments of joy into art, I approach every wedding day with fresh eyes and a pounding heart. But with more than 100 weddings in my portfolio, I know that the best wedding photography experience is about so much more than clicks of a camera. It’s about relationship.

The belief in the power of authentic friendship to transform photography is at the heart of everything I do.

From our very first coffee date to the moment I arrive on the biggest morning of your life ready to be your wedding day hype girl, I value open communication and creative expression. Heck, I’ll freaking climb a mountain if that’s what it takes to celebrate the uniqueness of your journey! 

So, tell me all about how his hands shook when he asked you to be his Always. Send me photos of the two bridesmaid dresses you’re choosing between. Vent about how annoying it is to make reception seating charts. Because here’s the thing: I want to be more than your photographer. Through this experience, I want to be a helpful resource, an uplifting presence, and a lasting friend. So, you bring the fun. I’ll bring the camera. And let’s have a hella good time!
