After photographing dozens of weddings over the past few years, I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day.
The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together and laugh during the toasts.
This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
everything you need to know about
IN A NUTSHELL
don’t expect to find any AWKWARD PROM STYLE PHOTOS around here.
we’ll jump right in and get to THE GOOD STUFF, the AUTHENTIC moments.
No career as a model required.
genuine SMILES as you dip your heads together and share a QUIET JOKE together,
HANDS HELD tight because you never want to let go,
carefully stolen KISSES as the SUN SETS just below the horizon.
are you ready?
At the end of the day the most important thing is who stands next to you at the altar. You prioritize your relationships above all else!
sincere character and strong morals

It's all in the details: the ring passed down through generations, the signature cocktails, the family pet included in the invitation suite...

If you're inspired by 1940s/50s fashion photography and value iconic and classic design, we're a perfect match! Bonus points if you carry a Chanel bag.
iconic and timeless style
01.
My clients are educated, driven, compassionate, and discerning. They value high-quality goods and services, and frequently enjoy life's luxuries with the people they care about most. They appreciate great books, honest conversations, trendy eateries, and classic comedies. They unwind with a properly-mixed Tom Collins or an Old Fashioned after a long day at work, and spend the evening cozying up on the couch with their pet. The feeling of home is more than just the furniture on the floor, it's the memories that hang on the walls and the love that's in the air.

the SESSION

Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
