I’ve been told I have a “calming” presence that helps people feel comfortable and relaxed, I truly want you to enjoy your wedding day, and not feel like you’re in a day long photo shoot! To be a good wedding photographer one has to be able to transition through every style and situation at the drop of a hat, every wedding is different, it keeps things fresh and fun! It’s always an honor to witness the joining of two families with all of the emotions and traditions that two people in love bring.

My favorite thing about photography is the ability to preserve a millisecond forever, and retelling a story from beginning to end. Every wedding has a different story to tell, and I am extremely passionate about creating a visual representation that accurately portrays the feelings felt all throughout your day. I strive to create images that stand the test of time, and feel so honored to preserve such an intimate day for generations to come. I truly love what I do so much, and I feel it is evident in my work and the experience I offer to each and every client and couple that puts their trust in me.

My photography style is earthy, romantic, and genuine. I’m not going to make you look like you are at 80’s prom, because if you are like me, you really want to see those authentic moments. The ones where grandpa Jim is tearing up watching you dance, or where your child sneaks a kiss on your head. I am breaker of traditions in that I know each couple has their own unique vision. I get so excited when couples decide to go against the grain and unapologetically do what they want. Whatever it may be, I want it to be uniquely yours.
