DOCUMENTING FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO FEEL YOUR LOVE.

As a professionally trained photographer, storyteller, and editor, there is not anyone you should trust more. When you choose me to document your intimate wedding/elopement, you will be so overjoyed with your photos that you'll want to frame them in every corner of your home.

Through intentional prompting and framing, I illustrate the inner-workings of your love story for you to refer back to for years to come. My approach is simple: think of your session as a date for you two, and I'll be there to document your smallest touches and glances.
