My goal is to provide you with the best possible experience and empower you to make decisions that truly reflect who you are, because I genuinely care about you.

One of the most important things to me in capturing your day is getting to know you and your partner. Once you book, I’ll send over a fun questionnaire asking what you like to do together, your love story, etc. so that I help you plan your own unique experience and capture photos that best represent who you are.
A personalized and custom experience
I’ll create a custom timeline including all the things you want to do, your desired locations, and the best lighting, all while making sure you’re relaxed and stress free!
Unlimited custom timeline planning
I’ll do lots of research on your location and send you ideas and tips so we can pick out the best spots for your ceremony and photos. If you are open to any location in the world, I can help you narrow down the choices based on what you are going for, as I am well traveled and very aware of what to look out for. Many places require permits to have a ceremony or take photos on their grounds, but don’t worry, I will walk you through all of it!
Location tips and permit assistance
When you hire a photographer who wants to get to know you and feels like a friend, it’s so much more fun! We’re gonna be together for the whole day and have a blast, AND have amazing photos documenting it all!!

Full-day wedding coverage for couples who value presence, connection, and imagery that feels as meaningful years from now as it did in the moment. I document your day with intention—capturing both the quiet in-betweens and the once-in-a-lifetime celebrations as they naturally unfold.
