Weddings

I’m not your typical wedding photographer—I’m all about capturing the moments and emotions that truly matter. For me, it’s about the connections between people, no matter how big or small your wedding is. It’s the little things:  the quirky moments, the heartfelt embraces when you see a special relative, the belly-filled laughter with an old friend, the tears you just can’t hold back, and the hands that tell a story of their own. I believe that the authentic story of your marriage is woven into these small, imperfect moments that make your day uniquely your own.

As they say, your wedding day will be a whirlwind—an emotional, wild, and amazing blur. After all the care and attention poured into making it happen, it’ll be over in what feels like a heartbeat. That’s where I come in, camera in hand! I strive to freeze time during that beautiful blur, capturing those fleeting moments while you live out one of the biggest days of your life. Honestly, being a wedding photographer is the best job ever. (And no, it’s not just because of the amazing cocktail hour—though that’s a definite perk!) It’s about documenting your story and turning memories into something that lasts forever. As your photographer, I’ll help you remember not just how the details looked, but how present you were in the moments that matter most. Framed by light and laughter, I’ll be there for you, capturing it all.


FAQs

Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, and happy to for you! Traveling to take photos is my absolute favorite thing and I offer all-inclusive travel rates for most destinations. Check out my travel dates to see if I’m coming to your town soon - even if I'm not, I'm always willing to head to new parts of the world. Just ask!
