My passion for connection and storytelling began in my first career as a therapist. It was this role that shaped the unique lens through which I see what sets each person, and each couple apart, so that I can authentically document your love. It’s also why I am incredibly passionate about taking the time to genuinely get to know every couple. This is what takes my work from just beautiful photographs to personal, moving imagery that you can FEEL…
Decades later when you’re looking back on your wedding photos, it’s the smallest details that will transport you right back to that emotional, magical day–The unique way your fingers intertwine, the tears forming in your eyes when you first see your partner that day, the stolen glances that made it seem like you’re the only ones in the room...I’m endlessly on the lookout for those subtle nuances that make your love story a work of art.
It was early Christmas morning one year when I found myself sitting alongside my grandparents and parents, surrounded by boxes filled with hundreds of photos spanning over seven generations. In my hands, I held decades of memories captured in worn Polaroids and faded film, all while listening to my grandparents relive their favorite moments.
And right there, in that moment, I discovered my 'why'—your legacy, frozen in time, preserved for generations to come. Those faded photographs held more than just images; they encapsulated the essence of love, family, and the stories that bind us together. This experience ignited a passion within me, a commitment to capturing and preserving the beautiful tapestry of each couple's unique journey.
So, when I'm documenting your moments, it's not just about taking pictures; it's about weaving narratives and preserving the threads of your story. Your memories, your connections; they deserve to be etched into the collective history of your family, creating a visual legacy that will resonate for generations to follow.
Connection is undoubtedly the foundation of my work. It’s why I originally pursued my first career path in therapy–making people feel seen, understood, and celebrated is so incredibly important to me.
Multiple grooms have joked that I was tied with them for the “second most excited person for their wedding” behind the bride, and this is just a testament to the genuine, intentional connection that I’m so passionate about building with you!
My passion for empowerment begins at the very beginning, as you’re envisioning the type of wedding experience you want–Whether it’s a intimate wedding week across the globe, a elopement just the two of you, or a backyard wedding with your favorite people I’ll always encourage you to pursue the exact path that feels aligned to YOU.
It’s also why I take ample time working with you to create a personalized timeline that centers your unique values on your wedding day–prioritizing the people and experiences that are most important to YOU on this once-in-a-lifetime day.

Since the beginning of our relationship my fiance and I made a promise to each other that we will intentionally celebrate big AND small “moments” with each other…acknowledging the little game nights in our first home are just as special as our exciting milestones, promotions, etc.
It’s through this lens that I document your love–Paying equal attention to both the “big” and “small” details that set your story apart.
