I've always been someone who notices things.
The way light changes three seconds before it's perfect. The look that passes between two people who think no one is watching. The moment just after — when everyone exhales and something true is left in the room.
I studied journalism because I believed stories deserved witnesses. I've spent fifteen years learning that weddings are the same. They are not performances. They are not checklists. They are living, breathing chapters of a life — and they deserve to be seen that way.
I don't arrive at your wedding with a shot list. I arrive with curiosity.
For couples with a love story, not a timeline.
HOW IT FEELS
TO WORK TOGETHER
From the moment you reach out, you'll notice something different. There's no pressure, no pitch, no package-pushing. Just a real conversation about who you are and what you're building together.
On your wedding day I disappear into the background — present everywhere, obvious nowhere. You won't be managing me. You won't even be thinking about me. You'll just be living your day, and I'll be there absorbing every second of it.
When your gallery arrives, you won't just remember what happened. You'll feel it all over again.

I grew up paying attention.
To the way people move when they think no one is looking. To the stories underneath the stories. I studied journalism because I believed the world made more sense when someone was willing to witness it honestly.
I've been photographing weddings since 2009 — not because it was the plan, but because it turns out weddings are where people are most nakedly themselves. The love, the history, the people who matter most, all in one room.
I'm a first-generation American, a lifelong LGBTQ+ ally, and a mother of three. I believe every love story deserves a witness who actually sees it.
