What to 

expect

Natural, true color editing

While I'm always game incorporate a nod to what's currently popular in my work, I believe there is a difference between what's trending verses whats just trendy. I always keep in mind that the wedding photos I capture are not just to show off on social media for a month or so, but to be enjoyed for decades to come. When you revisit these moments, I don't want you to be distracted by a trendy filter or gimmicky pose that doesn’t feel true to you.

An eye for detail

I've spent more than a decade in the wedding industry, beginning my career as a bridal hair and makeup artist. My curated eye for detail and love of inspiring confidence in others naturally led me to photography.  

An experience led approach

My personal philosophy is that "the photos should be about the wedding, the wedding shouldn’t be about the photos." I prioritize my clients experience and enjoyment of their wedding over a shot I might want for my own personal portfolio. Capturing a wedding well requires a nuanced approach. At times you might need more direction to feel comfortable and at others you might need me to fade into the background so you can be fully present. I'm aware of letting my clients needs determine my reaction. My team and I feel lucky to have been complimented by multiple guests and family members on "being invisible" while working.
