PHOTOGRAPHER + VIDEOGRAPHER + VIDEO EDITOR

Weddings are my happy place. I’ve been a hopeless romantic since the Oxygen channel showed The Notebook on my 24” TV back in middle school. I watched it at least 100 times. So, you can believe me when I say love “love’. I am always so beside myself when I realize that I not only get to witness, but also be such an important part of the most important day in a couple’s lives. I’ve documented over 300 weddings and there’s not been a moment I’m not incredibly grateful to be doing this work and meeting new couples.

 
 

I am an empath and a hopeless romantic at heart. I love the ability to creatively express myself in the form of art and photographs. Having me there on your wedding day is like having a new best friend and personal cheerleader who only wants the best for you in any given moment of the day. Ask me to do anything for you, and the answer is most likely going to be yes, unless I have a better plan. I tend to be quiet, and I prefer to be in the background to not intrude on special moments, but I’m also often observing or thinking - living by the idea that you can learn so much more when you take the time to listen and be still. At the same time, you’ll find me kindly bossing your wild bridal party around, fixing stray hairs, running to each table to make sure you have photos of your guests, moving objects from the backgrounds, and coming up with fun prompts for you and your person to laugh to and remember for years to come.

I really love making lists, so here we go: 

I love…

  • Jesus Christ - I got baptized in 2020

  • A good cup of matcha green tea with oat milk

  • Poetry - (they're like REALLY short stories)

  • Finding new music and going to concerts

  • Cats... every cat, but especially mine

  • Finding the joy in the little things

  • Watching Rom-Coms, documentaries, and anime

  • Anything outdoors: hiking, biking, kayaking, tennis

  • Small shops in big cities

  • Traveling to see the nation’s mountains and waterfalls

My Cat, Joansie. <3

She is literally the best. She’s everyone’s friend, but I’m her best friend. As soon as I say her name, she comes running across the house to see me. She responds to all my questions with a meow, she brings me toys when I’m stressed, and she happily lays on my lap and purrs on long editing days. If you have a cat, I want to see pictures!

Travel.

I fell into my love of travel by accident. A trip to New York City when I was 12 made me realize how cool it was to see a place I had seen on TV so many times. Now, I am usually traveling with Caitlin and her family as much as possible. My favorite places so far are Sedona (pictured above), Lake Tahoe, Zion, Tulum, and Palm Springs.

Caffeine, anyone!?

My love of coffee stems WAY back to the rip ol' age of 3 and has carried with me into adulthood. I loved it so much, I wanted to open a coffee shop by the age of 30, and with help from my bestie and a lot of hard work, I was able to open one at 24. It’s now closed and I switched to matcha since then, but my love of caffeine remains.

Let's get active...

Hiking, biking, rock climbing, tennis, kayaking... I love anything that gets my heart racing and lets me be outdoors. There’s something so rewarding about pushing your physical and mental abilities in a way that also makes you healthier and feel better inside and out. Planning a mountain-top elopement? No problem.
