am a mountain and destination wedding photographer, and completely in love with that fact. Passionate doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about my job. It is truly the biggest honor to be chosen to photograph some of the most important moments of my couples lives. I don’t take that honor lightly. I strive to create images from real moments that will take your breath away, cry, and laugh…. maybe even at the same time! I want you to feel beautiful and confident every time you look back on your wedding heirloom memories.

hello! My name is

My style is where fine art meets documentary. The goal is to capture your wedding day as it unfolds without being obtrusive, in the most beautiful, and organic form. I use a mixture of digital and film to give my clients the very best of both formats. People are most attracted to my work because how at ease my subjects look in their pictures, and that is because they are! 

I am a very warm, bubbly person and feel like by the end of our time together we are long lost friends. My welcoming personality makes my couples comfortable, and allows them to truly be themselves in front of the camera.
Couples who have hired me describe me as someone who truly cares about your experience, and your everlasting memories!

I believe emotions can be felt and remembered forever in photographs, and it should be real, raw, and unfiltered.

more about the experience

I like to give you time to actually enjoy your wedding day. Photographs are important, yes, but that doesn’t mean you need to be herd like cattle to get your photo “to-do” list checked off. It can be easy when planning a wedding to steer away from what is really important and I encourage you to spread out your timeline to give yourself space and freedom to be in the moment! 

II.

If you bring your dog to your wedding day, we are automatically best friends.

III.

All those tiny details you put time and money into are just as important as everything else in your wedding. I love details and make it a priority to curate a seamless and well thought wedding photo gallery with them.

IV.

Your wedding photographer is going to be with you, literally, every moment of your wedding day- so being comfortable with that person is extremely important.
