I have a mild* obsession with storytelling through photos.

​*debatable

Photographing weddings is an absolute DREAM for me because I get to learn your love story and tell it through images that you'll treasure forever! My wedding photography style is extremely rooted in my photojournalistic background - my training in that field has honed me into being a pretty good fly on the wall. My approach is to hang back as much as possible and beautifully + creatively capture the magic of your day as it unfolds. 


I'd love to hear your story and discuss your vision for the big day! We'll start with a complimentary consultation to see if we're the right fit for one another. After booking, we'll schedule your engagement shoot, and continue to touch base about wedding day details until the big day arrives. When your wedding day rolls around, we'll document the magic!

​You'll get sneak peeks within two weeks of your wedding, and the full online gallery within two months.
