I have been photographing weddings professionally since 2009. In the past 16 years I have traveled around the world photographing weddings and couples in all different settings. From the California Coast at sunrise, Central Oregon during thunderstorms on a ranch, Texas at a BnB, Mexico at an all inclusive beach resort, bluebird days on Mount Hood, the incredible Canadian Rockies, and even a safari camp in Kenya. I love what I do and the places it has taken me, but the best part of this job is meeting amazing people and creating images that tell stories about their lives… and I cannot wait to tell yours!

My approach is all about making people feel at ease…

I believe when people are comfortable they are able to be their true selves, which is what I always try to capture. Yes, I will pose you, but the aim is to make those simple poses as natural as possible to give space for you to be you. I want you to be able to look back at your wedding images and see the relationships and connections, not just the perfect poses. Photography can be so much more than just pretty pictures. It SHOULD be more than just pretty pictures. I want the imperfect hair, the overly big smiles, the motion blur, tight snuggles, as well as the classic portraits. I want you to enjoy your wedding day and for photography to capture the joy and tears. I do not believe your wedding day is a photoshoot for me to direct. It is a once in a lifetime event filled with beautiful details and the people you love, and I am there to document it so that you can relive those moments forever.
