I bring a lot of heart to every wedding I photograph. I'm inspired by the nostalgia of film and the honesty of happy tears. I know how to manage the big emotions on a wedding day and help you stay connected to what matters most. From planning to the wedding day and beyond, I'm there to help you savor what truly counts.

Photographer with heart, empathy, and a personal touch
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to help people. That dream brought me all the way through 3 years of higher education and right into the therapist's chair. As a newly graduated counselor-in-training, I unexpectedly found myself filled with discontent.
If this was the dream, why did it feel like I wasn't making a difference? As I sorted through my own feelings around the profession of mental health, I picked up a camera.
Photography filled me with life. I could see all that was good right in front of me and capture it in it's raw form. I made people feel comfortable and free in front of the camera and that translated to honesty in my work and a rare beauty in humanity that I had only ever seen in the context of therapy. It was the perfect fit.
So I pivoted. Now, I use my gift of calm and empathy and my eye for the beauty in life to not only take pretty photos, but also to help couples and their loved ones hold onto what matters the most.
