Thank you for being here—it means the world. It’s an incredible honor to preserve your sweetest moments and celebrate your love story. I can’t wait to connect with you, hear all about your vision, and create something truly magical together.
I take on very limited weddings each year so I can better serve my couples and provide the experience they are investing in. Please note, I only takes sessions Monday - Thursday, as I am typically shooting weddings all weekend.

I do not. I fully believe the raw images are only half of the art. Raw images are unedited works and do not reflect my style or editing other than how I shoot.
Yes! Film photography is included in every wedding package, adding nostalgic value to your experience. Film captures moments in a way that digital photography often cannot replicate. Its unpredictability results in one-of-a-kind images, making your memories even more special. Most galleries are 80% digital and 20% film.
Don’t worry—I got your back! While my approach is primarily documentary, I will always offer gentle direction to make you feel comfortable during portraits. I will give you a few prompts but be guided by how you naturally interact with each other. I will do my best to make you feel welcomed and relaxed so that you can focus on just being yourself and having fun!
When you have a second shooter at your wedding, your photographer can cover more ground, get shots from multiple angles and manage time efficiently (since they can essentially be in two places at once). A second shooter also provides an extra layer of support in case of emergencies. Unless you're planning a very small wedding or an elopement, I strongly recommend having a second shooter to ensure you get the most out of your photos. I handpick my second shooters from a trusted group of documentary-style photographers I've worked with and trust.
Yes, I highly recommend scheduling an engagement session with your wedding photographer. It allows you to get to know them in a relaxed setting, which can help ease any nerves on your wedding day. Being familiar with your photographer’s direction also makes for more natural photos. Plus, using the same photographer ensures consistency in style and quality between your engagement and wedding images, making it easier for printing and albums.
Travel is included in your package. I will take care of booking my own accommodations such as flight, hotel, rental car, etc. so you do not have to worry about it!
