I document weddings and people as they actually are. This is for people who care about the vision but aren’t afraid to sweat, laugh too loud, cry hard, and celebrate like they mean it. My people don’t want timeless. They want permission, to feel hot, overwhelmed, elegant, chaotic, deeply themselves
the mission and vision

You can care about how things look and still let go. The couples I work with usually do both. They show up with intention, then actually live inside the day instead of managing it. I work best when there’s room to linger, to talk, to feel things without moving on too quickly.
Think less ballroom, more long table dinners, candle wax dripping onto linen, and conversations that matter.
The weddings that live rent-free in my mind are built around people, not production. Shared tables, and easy laughter.
Most clients invest an average of $5,500 for their wedding day.
On the day itself, my job is to be steady and observant. I’m there without hovering, guiding when it’s helpful and stepping back when it’s not. You don’t need to perform, pose constantly, or think about the camera. You stay present. I’ll take care of remembering it.
Staying Present - the wedding day
Once you’re booked, we slow things down. I help shape a timeline that supports presence and leaves room for breathing, eating, lingering, and being with your people. This isn’t about filling every minute. It’s about protecting the parts of the day that matter most to you and making sure photography fits into the flow instead of interrupting it.
Building Space - timeline planning call
This call is about alignment, not exploration. It’s for couples who feel confident about working together and want to confirm the fit before booking. We’ll talk through what you’re planning and how you want the day to feel. You don’t need a polished vision, just a sense of what matters to you.
