The wedding Experience
Your wedding day is more than just an event—it’s a story unfolding in real time. It’s a grand celebration filled with beauty, fleeting moments and emotion.
signature approach
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure an intentional, highly personalized experience from first inquiry through final delivery. Wedding coverage is centered around my signature full-day wedding photography approach, which includes:
-
From the quiet moments of getting ready through the energy of the dance floor, your day is documented in full. Rather than hourly coverage, I take an immersive approach—focused on presence, storytelling, and ease. Coverage includes myself and a trusted second photographer to ensure every meaningful moment is captured.
-
I provide thoughtful guidance throughout the planning process, including a timeline meeting and family portrait curation. This ensures your day flows smoothly, allows space to be present, and results in images that feel effortless and unhurried.
-
I offer gentle, refined direction rooted in connection rather than posing. My approach helps you feel comfortable and confident, creating portraits that are natural, flattering, and emotionally resonant.
-
Every image is individually edited by me with a fine art eye—never outsourced or automated. My approach honors true-to-life color, luminous skin tones, and natural contrast. Your gallery is delivered in both color and black & white for a cohesive, elevated collection.
-
You’ll receive a beautifully curated online gallery with high-resolution downloads, personal usage rights, and access to a professional print store. It’s also super easy to share with your loved ones!
-
Your wedding story is meant to live beyond the screen. Each collection includes a beautifully designed 8×11 heirloom album with lay-flat pages and a custom embossed cover. Crafted to be held, revisited, and passed down. Larger sizes are available.
Coverage for multi-day celebrations and destination weddings is available upon request, including weekends that honor cultural traditions or span multiple events. These celebrations are approached with thoughtful preparation and an emphasis on cohesive storytelling throughout the entire wedding weekend. If this approach resonates with what you’re planning, I would love to connect and learn more about your celebration
The Heirloom
A lasting way to experience your wedding
Your photographs aren’t meant to live only on a screen. Collections can include a custom-designed album, thoughtfully curated to reflect the rhythm and emotion of your wedding day. Printed on fine art paper with a layflat design, it becomes something you can return to again and again—an experience that feels just as meaningful years from now.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both, though I photograph primarily in digital. This allows me to work seamlessly in a fast-paced environment while maintaining consistency in every lighting condition.
When the setting, timeline, and light allow for it, I incorporate 35mm film, typically 1–2 rolls, as an intentional artistic choice. Film has a depth and authenticity that feels timeless, especially in an era of overly processed imagery.
My digital editing style is deeply inspired by fine-art film, so the final gallery remains cohesive and luminous throughout. Whether captured on film or digital, every image reflects the same refined, heirloom aesthetic.
-
My work blends documentary storytelling with refined, editorial portraiture. I approach each wedding with an artist’s eye for light, composition, and emotional nuance — creating images that feel both effortless and deeply intentional.
The result is a collection that feels timeless rather than trend-driven — photographs designed to age beautifully for decades to come.

Engagement Sessions
Engagement sessions are a wonderful way to celebrate the love and excitement between a couple before their wedding day. My goal is to capture the unique bond between each partner, as well as the joy and anticipation they feel as they prepare to embark on this new chapter of their lives together. I aim to create images that feel natural, intimate, and full of personality.
Proposals
Marriage proposal photography is about preserving one of life’s most romantic, intimate moments - the moment two lives take a beautiful step toward forever. I work closely with the proposer to meticulously plan and execute a surprise proposal that is not only heartfelt but visually stunning, ensuring every element aligns with the vision for this special event.
From scouting the perfect location to timing the lighting and capturing the emotions in real-time, I’m there to discreetly document the joy, excitement, and pure love of the moment. With an emphasis on authenticity and creativity, my goal is to create a set of photographs that tell the story of your proposal in a way that’s both timeless and compelling, so you can relive that moment for years to come.
Individual
Portrait / headshot Sessions
I offer on-location portrait sessions for creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking imagery that feels polished yet natural. These sessions are ideal for updated headshots, personal branding, or editorial-style portraits that reflect both confidence and authenticity.
Rather than a traditional studio setup, I work within thoughtfully selected environments — allowing light, architecture, and setting to enhance the overall feel. The result is imagery that feels elevated, modern, and distinctly personal.
