I photographed my first wedding at age 14.
READ MY ORIGIN STORY
I’m here to help you soak up every second, laugh a little louder, breathe a little deeper, and walk away with a visual legacy that feels like magic.
You want wedding photos that feel like you—romantic, real, and just the right amount of extra.
My couples say things like:
Polished, professional, and deeply present—yes.
But also? Fun. Fast on my feet. Down for anything.
“Made us laugh so much.”
“Like having your best friend with you, but she brings expensive cameras and incredible taste.”

Thank you for capturing so many beautiful moments.
Don't forget the part where you expertly coaxed our daughter to pose for more pics with some well-timed Horsie Talk!
There’s a whole corner of my heart devoted to equine portraiture—if you’re curious, you can explore that world here.
I’m obsessed with the ocean, vintage fashion, old-world cities, and images that make your chest ache in the best way.
ALSO IMPORTANT: I’m a horse girl to my core. The kind who grew up obsessed with The Black Stallion—book, film, all of it. Our new logo even features a tiny, elegant unicorn inspired by the Bucephalus statue (Alexander the Great’s magical horse) as a nod to that childhood love. We added the horn because, truthfully, I didn’t believe in marriage until I met my unicorn husband. He made me believe in magic. And love is magic.
Fun? Always. Flirty? Of course. Extra? Just enough.
Low-key luxury? That’s our love language.

We don’t follow trends—we follow truth
I believe photography should slow you down.
That presence matters more than perfection.
That how it feels is just as important as how it looks.
To create emotive, artful imagery that feels personal, soulful, and enduring—photographs that look like memories and live like heirlooms.
