I’ve been photographing weddings for ten years, this year. I studied journalism in college at Ohio University before moving to the wedding industry. The very first bullet point in the photojournalism code of ethics is to respect truth, however it presents itself and however it plays out with honesty. Honesty and truth and freedom and love. Those things should be the hallmarks of your wedding day. I’m here to help you see the beauty in the simple, the surprise in the unexpected, the joy in the freedom of letting go. I’m here to help you remember exactly how it felt.

I blend documentary-style moments with guided, relaxed portraits so you get the best of both worlds emotional candids and photos you’ll want to frame. I care a lot about how your day feels, not just how it looks, and I bring a calm, steady presence so you can actually enjoy it. I don’t over-direct or force awkward poses. I help you feel comfortable and let real connection lead. My goal is for your gallery to look like you, not like a styled shoot that could belong to anyone.
