I believe that marriage is one of the most challenging relationships in life, but it is also one of the most important and unbelievably amazing partnerships that can ever be promised. It is a commitment to adventure; to sharing hardships and victories; to weathering good days and bad days; and to loving each other always, especially when it is difficult. Our story is messy and imperfect, but that is what makes it real and worth fighting for.

    
I believe that photography is a beautiful act of listening and storytelling. I value the responsibility of making honest images that reflect the truth in the relationships, moments, and emotions that I’m honored to witness. I make it a priority to get to know my couples so that I can create something authentic that will be a part of their heritage forever.

After being a wedding photographer for over 15 years, I have intentionally crafted these three core values as the foundation of my business so that I am able to serve my couples well:

I want to cultivate a meaningful experience. By approaching the day in a photojournalistic fashion, I am focused on memorializing your relationship, your family’s heritage, your friendships, and every single person that is on your guest list. I believe in documenting the day as it unfolds vs. revolving the day around photos. I want you to spend the day with your favorite people in the most joyful and stress-free fashion.

When you look through your wedding images, I want you to remember how it felt to be there: the way the wind took off with your veil and shook your father’s jacket; how your grandmother’s wrinkled hands felt as she gripped yours; the way your partner looks at you undeniably with love in their eyes; the blissfully cool night that heard the music blaring and witnessed the stars winking back. These real, raw, and honest moments are memorable, and they deserve to be honored.

Your wedding photographs will not be typical. They will be creative, artful, momentous, adventurous, and—most importantly—a true reflection of who you are.
