Im forever inspired by the works of Sally Mann, William Eggelston, and Joel Meyeorwitz- with their abilities to capture quiet moments, loud emotion, and an unspeakable balance for their soft tones with the capacity to still savor that vibrant color.

I approach each of my weddings with a unique ability to be completely in the moment yet unobtrusive- your wedding day is about you and your closest ones- and I will be there to capture all the laughs, tears, and purest moments throughout, by providing a unique perspective of timeless romance and contemporary elegance. I shoot with a balance of digital and film- naturally guiding couples for those classic keepsakes but fill your storyline with candid, documentary memories. Your gallery will be well rounded, heartfelt, and a true souvenir for lifetimes to come.

I feel a strong connection to the

nostalgia of film and the

ability to give it a beautiful modern lift.

 FAQs

  • I have been lucky enough to call myself a photographer for more than ten years now with a beginning of film photography in high school. I have always known, for as long as I can remember, that I would be a creative, but it wasn’t until my studies at the University of Virginia where I fell in love with the art of photography. Since graduating, I have gone full force into creating my own photography business specializing in luxury weddings and editorial fashion.

  • Each and every gallery I deliver is completely customized to the flow of your wedding day. Depending on the amount of digital and/or film we shoot the number of total photos can be within a general range of 50—75 photos/hr.

  • I break down my payment plans into two payments for you. This allows you to feel some cost breathing room as you book all the other details and vendors of your day. Your initial payment will be a 50% retainer fee which is due to lock in your date. Your final being will be due one month out from your due date. Your payments are nonrefundable with each installment put down.

  • I truly don’t even know what makes for bad weather- grey skies and dreamy rainclouds are just as beautiful and unique as to your day. However, in case of any rain, storm, or weather that might alter your shoot or damage gear, rescheduling is always an option. But, please feel safe in knowing that I am just as confident to find a creative way to capture your day in any weather.
