My approach is centered around connection, trust, and creating space for you to be fully present while I document the moments that matter most. With an editorial eye and a heart for storytelling, I blend timeless artistry with a calming, down-to-earth presence to ensure your photos feel as beautiful as the experience itself.
Together, we’ll craft a personalized photo timeline that blends seamlessly into your wedding day. I’ll guide you through what to expect, and we’ll build a mood board with your favorite imagery, aesthetics, and those must-have family moments.
Before we dive into anything, we’ll hop on a call or video chat to connect. I want to hear all about you, your love story, your wedding vision, your personal style — and make sure we’re a great fit. My goal is always to make you feel completely comfortable and excited from day one.
I highly recommend an engagement session or having your pre-wedding event captured to get comfortable together, as well as in front of the camera while documenting these incredibly special moments with your loved ones. This is where we can really play with fashion, location, and vibe — and create images that feel like you at your best.
It's finally time & by now, we’re in sync. I know your style and what moments matter most. I’ll photograph with intention, weaving between editorial candids, emotional storytelling, and timeless/editorial portraiture. I also work closely with your planner and creative team to stay aligned and keep everything flowing beautifully.
You’ll have a first look at your wedding gallery the week following your wedding which will include 100-150 images. Your full gallery will be delivered within 7–9 weeks. Each image is carefully selected and professionally edited to artistic perfection. From emotional moments to editorial-style portraits, these are the photographs that will live on in your home and heart forever.
