THIS IS MY HOPE FOR YOU:
That you should bask in the glow and light and beauty of these moments without pressure. That you should ugly cry and snort-laugh and maybe get a little tipsy on the dance floor. That you should hug your people tight. That you should kiss for a little too long to whoops and hollers from the crowd. That you should remember this day exactly as it is.
IT’S MORE THAN PHOTOS — IT’S THE EXPERIENCE. I’VE GOT YOU COVERED.
I studied photojournalism in college and I put a huge value on documentary photography. Honest storytelling is how your wedding should be captured and I do my best to really focus on those honest moments. Of course I get the standard shots and I love a posed photo here and there, but it’s all about those real, in-between, and natural moments for me.
I’m a Leave No Trace Aware photographer, and I’m so proud to be! I’ll give you a rundown of the principles of LNT and how to be as low-impact to the earth as possible for your elopement. I love being able to bring this education to the table for you, for me, and for the planet! (I took this course in 2020 from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics and am really proud to have passed!)
I won’t lie, I’m big on emails! From your first inquiry to booking to following up afterwards, I’ll be there for you the whole time with emails providing help for finding the perfect location, building up a solid timeline (with backup options!), and reminder emails for how to be best prepared. I’m always just an email or a text away if you need anything at all during the planning process.
WHO YOU ARE:
Someone who wants unscripted, unprompted, unexpected photographs // People who want to experience their day without pressure or being told how to present themselves // A couple who likes nature, likes quiet art, and — most importantly — likes each other // A family who will appreciate the non-traditional photos
WHO I AM
Just another friend with a camera (or more likely a few cameras) // Someone who wants to get to know you, your friends, and your family // A photographer that enjoys the unexpected and the thrill of watching to see what happens next without interference //A source of calm and helpfulness during your wedding planning journey

I allow so much time for these sessions because I believe it takes time to warm up and relax, and photos that feel like you take time.
A FEW EXTRAS
I offer a la carte albums and prints for you to see your photographs every day. The best day of your life shouldn’t live forever on a hard drive. These hardcover books are magazine-style with 75 spreads. They are not layflat books, because layflat books limit the number of spreads you can have and since I shoot in a documentary style, I believe you need more photos to truly tell your story. The pages are on archival press paper with a slight texture that is soft to the touch. The covers are made of luxe linen (you pick the color!) and embossed with your names and wedding date in metallic foil on the front. I will custom design the album for you and go through two rounds of editing to make sure the book is everything you want it to be. Size 10x10 with a matching fabric heirloom box. Starting at $1,000.
