Energy. Authenticity.


This is what I strive to capture when I document a wedding. I listen as much as I watch; is there tension, will there be hugs, or fist pumps, or tears?


There are multiple stories waiting to be found; your love story of course, but also all those moments that show me who you are, why you have these amazing friends surrounding you, and what you value most in your family, and they in you. It’s these moments that elevate a photo album from “who-what-when” to an emotionally rich narrative of a very special moment in your lives.


If you find yourself drawn to my images, it’s probably because the people in them have captured my heart a little, and they have placed their trust in me. They have found a space to be their authentic selves, and allowed me to capture a little part of their souls.


They aren’t smiling for the camera; they’re experiencing their wedding day as I hope you will yours: with reckless abandon, ready to embrace everything and everyone that becomes a part of the day.

Testimonials

KELLY & JON

“These photos are EXTRAORDINARY!!! The way you capture the emotion and mood is indescribable. And the style, composition, and technical aspects ... we feel like we are right back in the moment ... they so accurately capture our exuberance for life and the magic we all created that weekend.

Your upbeat spirit, warm personality, calming presence ... made the weekend enjoyable and fun. You were such a huge part of it for us, even fading into the background to not be noticed at all in key moments.”
