WHAT GUIDES OUR PASSION

Moments that tell your Story

I believe that there is a difference in value between a photo and a memory. That’s why I don’t just take pictures; I seek out the quiet conversations during your first dance and the fleeting glances that say more than words ever could. It’s the photos that reignite your memory, that you’ll treasure most.
Authenticity

PHOTOGRAPHY THAT STOPS Time

To me, photography is like magic, it stops time. It’s the wisdom of knowing that this moment, as it is right now, will never happen again. I chase those moments, the ones that will quench your nostalgia years from now, bringing back the warmth, joy, and beauty of a memory frozen in time.
Connection

Enjoy THE RIDE

I’m not about creating stressful days. I was hospitalized just days before my own wedding. In those days I realized how fickle life really is that I rewrote my vows. I understood that these days are meant to be savored, not controlled. I promise my couples this: I’ll be there to capture the moment while you enjoy the ride, because the day itself may run away from us, but the joy will last for years.
Joy

BREAKING THE Mold

My goal is to break the rules, intentionally. I had a professor once tell me that you need to master the rules first, so you can break them in a way that matters. I’m not here to follow trends. I’m here to explore, learn, and weave together something unique for each couple, a visual story that’s truly yours.

FAQs

  • The sooner, the better! Popular dates can fill up fast—sometimes a year or more in advance—so if you’ve already got your date set, let’s chat. That said, if you’re a last-minute planner, still reach out! You never know, I might just have your date open. Either way, we’ll make it work!

  • Yep! If your package doesn’t already include a second photographer and you’d like one, we can definitely add that on. I also have a network of awesome local photographers I trust, so if a second shooter is needed, I’ve got the perfect backup ready to go.

  • You’ll usually get a sneak peek within 24 hours to hold you over! As for the full gallery, it typically takes about 3-4 weeks, depending on the season. I often finish sooner, but I like to give myself extra time to take a second pass with fresh eyes, so I can catch any little details and make sure your photos are nothing short of perfect.

  • As soon as the shoot’s done, your photos get backed up faster than you can say “cheese.” Seriously—I'm a bit obsessive about making sure everything’s safe, so I back them up in multiple places right away. Once that’s covered, I’ll dive into editing and polish them to perfection. After that, you’ll get your beautiful gallery, ready for you to download, share, and enjoy—worry-free!

  • You bet I am! I’m fully insured because, let’s face it, peace of mind is important when it comes to your big day. It’s one of those things you hope never to need, but it’s always good to know it’s there—just in case.

  • I don’t overbook myself and typically avoid shooting more than one wedding in a 3-day window. When I commit to photographing your big day, it’s important to me to be fully focused and present—no juggling multiple events! That said, life can throw some curveballs. If something crazy happens or your wedding gets rescheduled to a day I’m already booked, I’ve got a solid network of trusted photographers who can step in. They share my style and standards, so you’ll be in good hands, no matter what.
