Your wedding day deserves photos that don’t just show what it looked like—they should bring you back to how it felt. That’s what I’m here for. The real moments, the ones you’ll frame, share, and relive for decades.

I'm Heather- and I'm here to capture the kind of love that stands the test of time.

are the best ones

The real moments

I believe in living in the moment and soaking up every last minute with the ones you love. 

what I believe

you don't
just need a photographer

You need someone who gets it. 

One of my favorite parts of this job is sitting down with my couples before the wedding to talk through what really matters to them.

Not a long list of posed photos, but the moments they’re most excited for—the way their partner will look at them during the vows, the tears during speeches, or that first deep breath of relief right after the ceremony. When the day comes, that’s what I’m focused on: making sure you can live-in those moments too.

 My job is to make sure you feel calm, connected, and completely you. Because when you can just enjoy the day, the photos will do more than show what it looked like—they’ll take you back to how it felt.

for couples who love big, celebrate deeply, and value the details

If you’re the kind of couple who cares more about real connection than staged perfection, we’ll get along beautifully. My couples are people who love hard, laugh loud, and cherish the people who make their lives full.

They’re not afraid to be in the moment—to laugh, cry, and celebrate the beauty of it all. They understand that wedding photos are more than just décor—they’re a way to relive the love, joy, and magic of their day over and over again.

If that sounds like you, I think we’ll be a perfect match.

Wherever you are, be all there.

Our favorite thing is family. Game nights, trips, or lazy days, we love being together

and big-hearted energy

A mix of calm professionalism

I don’t just see people—I seek to understand them. I know how to make you feel comfortable, heard, and truly yourself, which makes all the difference when I’m capturing your love story.

My work has been featured in several publications, but what really matters to me is creating an experience where you feel seen, understood, and cared for. Because when you feel amazing, the photos will follow.

When I’m not capturing weddings, you’ll find me spending time with my family, planning our next adventure, or making my (highly requested!) homemade pho on a Friday night.

Before becoming a photographer, I worked as a counselor, which shaped the way I approach my art today.
