The Wedding Experience.

I do things just a little bit differently. 

I like to share my approach so that you can make sure we are the perfect match. I want more than anything for you to choose a photographer that you vibe with so that you love your images and the feeling of them.

I want us both to be doing a little happy dance about working together, because capturing your special memories is so important and something you will always look back on.

My style is heavily focused on real genuine moments. I'm not going to make you do anything cheesy like whispering your grocery order in a sexy voice to your partner or running in slow motion. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but that's just not my style. There's no awkward smiling at the 

I'm all about couples breaking the mold of typical tradition and going out on a limb to do their own thing. That's what really makes your wedding all about you. You don't want to look back on your wedding day and wish you did what you actually wanted to do but didn't because of typical tradition.

When you book me as your photographer, I'm going to be apart of one of the most important days of your life. A day where you most likely invited your closest people in your lives. I don't take this lightly. I dont want to just be another vendor that shows up, snaps a few photos, and 

Booking a photographer should be more than just checking a box on a wedding planning to-do list. It's hard to see it now beyond all of the planning, but photography is one of the only tangible things that you'll have left when your wedding day has come and gone. I believe that 

I believe love is love, and my goal is to create a safe space for anyone that feels a deep connection with my art. I will cherish you, get to know your story, 

and create memories for you without hesitation. You deserve to have your story lovingly documented and cherished, without question. 

camera because you're not sure what else to do. I try to preserve the moment while still giving you a bit of direction so you never feel uncomfortable. This is a safe space to be completely yourself, and for us to create together while still preserving the moment.

Traditions are of course amazing and bring culture and character to your wedding. But if you want to do something way out of the ordinary, I'm here to support you all the way. Even if it's getting married in your parent's backyard with just a few close friends, or just you two in your favorite place.

never speaks to you again. I want to create a connection with you and really get to know you so that I can accurately capture who you are in this season. I also just want to make sure you're having fun and not stressing over the little things. I'm here to make this process as easy as I possibly can. 

having photos you love and cherish is one of the most valuable takeaways- other than being married to the love of your life of course. Don't let having beautiful photos to look back on slip by in the flurry of wedding planning.

bringing back NOSTALGIA

I believe that an important step in documenting your story is really knowing what makes your love different from the next. How you met, what you love to do together, how you love the way their eyes soften when they look at you- these are all things that tell your story and what makes your love so unique and once in a lifetime.

I take on only a select few weddings per year so that I'm able to put more effort into accurately telling your story. That way I can more accurately capture it in the way that you see it, not just what it looks like from the surface. I want to be able to see your love through your eyes.

One of the add-ons that I offer is 35mm film photos digitalized in your online gallery.

Blending film and digital is one of my favorite things. Film has a whole other soul to it, it's like listening to your favorite song out of a record player instead of playing it out of your phone. You feel it on an entirely different level. 

Film is messy which makes it beautiful and timeless. Looking back at old film is like watching home videos that your dad recorded on his handheld camera when you were a kid. It's just pure nostalgia.
