Immortalizing Stories Through A Documentary Lens, Capturing The Raw, Real, And Every Candid Memory In Between.

Let’s dive into the details: my photographic approach focuses on seeing your day through a documentary lens. But what does that ~really~ mean? I love being a fly-on-the-wall and letting you make memories with your people instead of looking down the barrel of a camera lens all day. I love capturing those small and in-between moments of you actually enjoying your time with your people instead of posing endlessly for hours.

I’m not the photographer for you if you’re looking for a completely Pinterest-perfect and manufactured gallery. My attention on wedding days is about letting moments unfold naturally and not over-directing your day - I prefer to let those TRULY candid moments and real emotion shine through above all else. If you’re picking up what I’m putting down then we are the perfect match🤍You can read more about my non-traditional approach here!

We might be the perfect match if:

• You want to make sure your photos are about your wedding day, not making your wedding day about the photos.
• You're dreaming about striking, raw images that capture real moments that can't be faked.
• You value the in-between moments just as much as the big moments.
• You love your people fiercely and want photos that reflect that love.
• You’re looking for an in-depth experience that results in photos that feel unique to you and your story.
