Your wedding day is made up of more than the big moments.

I photograph it all with a relaxed, storytelling approach focused on candid moments, genuine emotion, and meaningful connection. I’ll offer gentle direction when you need it while letting real moments unfold naturally.

Tell Me About Your Wedding
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a courthouse or civil ceremony, or a full wedding celebration, I’d love to hear what you’re creating. Tell me about your date, location, guest count, traditions, and what matters most to you. You do not need to have every detail figured out before reaching out.
Your wedding can be photographed digitally, on 35mm film, with real Polaroids, or through a combination of all three.
Your wedding day, beautifully captured
Your wedding day is made up of more than the big moments. It’s the nerves before the ceremony, the hugs from family, the laughter between friends, and the little things you may not notice until later. I photograph it all with a candid, documentary approach so your gallery feels honest, emotional, and true to you.
What I Offer
I offer a range of specialized services tailored to meet your individual needs.
Elopements, Civil Ceremonies & Wedding Celebrations
From quiet courthouse ceremonies and intimate elopements to larger wedding celebrations, coverage is shaped around the size, pace, and traditions of your day. I bring cultural competence and experience photographing cultural weddings, while I take time to understand the customs, family relationships, and meaningful moments that matter most to you..
Gentle Direction and Planning Support
You do not need to know how to pose or have every detail figured out on your own. Before the wedding, we’ll talk through your timeline, important relationships, traditions, and photographs you do not want missed. On the day, I’ll offer gentle direction when you need it while letting genuine moments unfold naturally.
Authentic Coverage of You and Your Guests
Your wedding story includes more than portraits of the two of you. I make a point of photographing your guests, family connections, cultural traditions, emotional reactions, meaningful details, and the real moments that bring the celebration to life. These are often the photographs that become even more meaningful with time.
Photos to Last a Lifetime
Your wedding coverage includes digital high-quality images, with 35mm film and real Polaroids available as optional add-ons for an additional cost. These formats bring a soft, nostalgic, and tangible quality to your gallery, and special wedding pricing is available for couples who choose to include them.
Me as Your Biggest Supporter
You’ll have more than someone taking photographs. I’ll be a calm, encouraging presence throughout your day, helping you feel comfortable, offering gentle direction, cheering you on, and supporting you whenever you need it.
What It’s Like to Work Together
From your first message to the delivery of your gallery, I want the process to feel clear, personal, and easy to navigate.
1. Tell Me About Your Wedding
Start by completing my inquiry form with your date, location, guest count, and anything you already know about your plans. You do not need to have every detail figured out before reaching out.
4. Plan the Details
As your wedding approaches, I’ll check in to learn more about your timeline, traditions, family relationships, important photographs, and anything else I should know. This helps me document the day thoughtfully without turning it into a long list of staged moments.
2. Choose Your Coverage
We’ll talk through your timeline, photography needs, and the moments that matter most to you. You can also decide whether you would like to include 35mm film, real Polaroids, or both alongside digital coverage.
5.. Celebrate Your Wedding
On the wedding day, I’ll offer gentle direction when you need it while letting real moments unfold naturally. I’ll photograph the two of you, your guests, meaningful details, emotional reactions, and the energy of the celebration.
3. Reserve Your Date
Once you are ready to move forward, I’ll send your contract and invoice. A signed contract and 30% retainer officially reserve your wedding date.
6. Receive Your Photographs
Afterward, I’ll carefully select and edit your digital photographs. Any film will be professionally developed and scanned, then included alongside the digital images in your final online gallery for downloading and sharing.

Whether your wedding is shared with six people or 150, I photograph more than just the couple. I pay attention to your guests, family connections, meaningful traditions, joyful reactions, and all the in-between moments that show what the celebration truly felt like.
Your story, captured on digital and film
My approach is relaxed, personal, and supportive. I’ll offer gentle direction when you need it, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and be your biggest hype girl throughout the day.
I can also photograph parts of your wedding on 35mm film and real Polaroid, not just Instax, for photographs that feel tactile, nostalgic, and completely one of a kind. I offer special discounts on film coverage for weddings because I want more couples to experience the slower, more intentional feeling it brings to their memories.
I approach every celebration with cultural awareness, curiosity, and respect, taking time to understand the traditions, relationships, and details that matter most to you.
