That's Where I Come In
Hundreds of weddings in, I’m still crazy in love with love. I’ve been shooting weddings since 2012, yet I still get butterflies before every single wedding. After all those months of getting to know my couple, hearing about their plans, and working on timelines, the day is finally here. This is when you can sit back, relax, and let me take care of you.
It's true what they say, your wedding is a blur.
My work speaks for itself—timeless, authentic, and filled with the kind of beauty that tells your story naturally. As a film photographer, I bring a luxurious, fine-art feeling to my images, blending elegance with genuine emotion. Your wedding day deserves to be captured authentically and beautifully, and that’s exactly what I strive to do.
What sets me apart is my calming presence behind the camera. I know that being photographed can feel vulnerable, so I create a relaxed and comfortable environment that allows your true personality to shine. I also deeply value the personal connections I form with my couples. Understanding your story helps me capture it in a way that feels uniquely yours.
Beyond that, I’ve been honored to photograph the weddings of industry professionals—including wedding planners and fellow photographers—who trust me with their most important day. That level of trust speaks volumes, and it’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly.
With professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence, I’ll deliver an experience that is as exceptional as the images themselves. Let’s create something beautiful together—a collection of moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Engagement sessions can take place any time you want. Some couples choose to do them immediately, and others decide to wait a couple months for nicer weather. Bridal sessions typically happen about 5-8 weeks before the wedding date. Both sessions have a turnaround time of 2-4 weeks.
03. Portrait sessions
If you are ready for photos like these, all you need is to send in your retainer and contract. From there we'll get started with a fun questionnaire, and we'll also start planning your engagement session!

My style focuses on joyful, dreamy, romantic images full of beautiful light and natural emotion.

I love photos where my clients look and feel like the best versions of themselves – my goal for every photograph is to capture true joy and memories!

Turnaround time depends on the season and my current workload. For portrait sessions, galleries are typically delivered within 2-4 weeks, while wedding galleries take 6-8 weeks. I carefully edit each collection in the order it was photographed to ensure every client receives the attention and quality they deserve.

01. What is it like working with you?
I am a hybrid photographer, which means I shoot on both film and digital cameras. Film is my favorite medium, and I'm in love with the dreamy colors, the buttery-soft look, and the intimacy that shooting on film gives me. It forces me to slow down and think about each shot, and it's a timeless medium.
I also shoot digitally in fast-paced or low-light situations. I edit my digital images to match the tones of my film ones, with a goal of making them seamless in your curated gallery.

Of course. You can add on anything you want whenever you want! It is usually more cost-effective to add things upfront, as my prices could change in the future, but I am very flexible and happy to accommodate any additional services or products you might want to add to your collection.
