You want a day that feels like you, where you can be fully present, soak up every moment, and celebrate in a way that makes your heart happy.
Maybe you’re eloping on a mountaintop, or maybe you’re having an intimate wedding with just your closest people. Either way, you don’t want to feel like your photographer is pulling you away from the moments that matter, forcing stiff poses, or making your day feel like a long photoshoot. You want someone who will capture the energy, the emotions, the way it felt, without interrupting the magic.
Forget what you’ve been told a wedding “should” be. This isn’t about traditions you don’t connect with or timelines that make your head spin. This is about your story, your way.
You’re not planning your wedding based on what’s “supposed” to happen or how it’ll look on Instagram.
This is about you.
Not traditions. Not trends.

Her talent is unmatched and I highly recommend her for your wedding, elopement, or even a hiking adventure!
Her work is genuine and authentic to those she is photographing.
The thing that makes her stand out from other photographers, though, is her demeanor and how she made my husband and I feel so incredibly comfortable the whole day.
She makes art and memories to cherish forever.

no rigid poses
just life & love
If you’re looking for stiff, posed photos where everything feels overly curated… that’s not me.
My approach is documentary-style, which means I capture what’s real. The messy, in-between, deeply felt moments. I focus on feeling over perfection. My editing is natural and timeless, nothing overly trendy, nothing that will look outdated in five years. Just warm, nostalgic, deeply you images that bring you right back to the moment.
With me, you won’t spend your wedding day stuck in rigid poses or feeling like you’re in a photoshoot. You’ll spend it living & loving, and I’ll be there, quietly and intentionally, making sure every little detail, every fleeting emotion, and every beautiful, unscripted moment is captured.
what is documentary style?
I take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most, and create a process that feels natural and stress-free. From the first inquiry to the final gallery, I’m here to make this experience feel effortless, natural, and exciting. Need help choosing the perfect location? Let’s dream it up together. Want a couple of planning calls or a FaceTime to talk through details? I’m all in. Feeling overwhelmed with the “what comes next” of it all? I’ll supply you with all the guidance and resources you need, so you can feel fully prepared and totally at ease.
There’s no one-size-fits-all process here
I believe in your love, your authenticity, and the moments in your journey that you wish to capture. That’s the goal.

An elopement is *usually* a smaller, more intimate event, with around 50+ people. A wedding can be a longer, full-day event that has more people attending (100+), and having a second photographer (and package with 8-10 hours of coverage) would help capture the event fully.
