How I Work
My approach is grounded in presence, care, and deep attention to your people and your story. I’m not just here to take pretty photos, I’m here to protect your peace.
Whether you’re sneaking away for quiet moments with your sweetheart or scream-singing with your chosen family on the dance floor, I’m there to witness it, take great photos and not interrupt it. I gently guide when needed, but my goal is always to keep you grounded in the moment, not pulled out of it.
What That Actually Looks Like:
1. I wait for the frame, the one that holds your connection.
I don’t leave until I’ve captured a photo that reflects the love between you and your partner. It’s never about checking a box, it’s about getting the image that feels like you.
2. I try to photograph every guest.
If someone is important enough to be there, they’re important enough to be remembered. I aim to get a great photo of everyone, laughing, dancing, crying, or just smiling looking cute.
3. I pay close attention to your VIPs.
Your people matter, and I honor that in my work.
-
Your grandparents who’ve been married for 70 years? They’re getting a timeless portrait.
-
Your best friend who’s 8 months pregnant? She’s getting a radiant maternity photo.
-
Your chosen family? I’ll make sure they feel as central as they are.
4. I stay present, but give you space.
I’m always observing, but I know when to step back. Once I’ve captured the big moment, I let it breathe. If you’re wrapped up in a kiss, in a hug, or in the middle of a full-body singalong, I step back and document it from the edges. The goal is to preserve your joy, not shape it.
5. I create a space where you can be yourselves.
Especially for queer and trans couples, I know how rare and meaningful it is to feel seen and safe. I move with calm, warmth, and intention, offering emotional safety and affirmation from behind the lens. That shows up in the photos. And it shows up in how the day feels.
6. I blend film and digital for an editorial, emotional look.
I use both 35mm film and digital to create timeless, vibrant storytelling. Film brings a warmth and nostalgia that digital can’t replicate, digital brings speed and flexibility. Most of my couples choose hybrid coverage for the best of both.
What sets me apart? I know when to lean in, and when to fade into the background. I make space for tenderness, for silliness, and everything in between. And I make it easy to be photographed, even if you’re camera shy, neurodivergent, or just not used to being seen.
