some direction?
Looking
for some direction?
I’m here to give you cues when you need them.
I don't take a full "fly on the wall" approach when it comes to weddings but I also don't pose you every step of the way.
Being in front of a camera is awkward, I get it. I go into every wedding with that in mind. I'm here to help guide and direct you when you want it but I also encourage natural, organic moments to happen naturally and organically. You'll like how you look in your portraits but you'll cherish those natural and organic photos forever.
REAL MEMORIES ARE MADE
IN THE MOMENT
Stop worrying about the details. Experience your day moment-by-moment. Focus on your spouse, your friends, your family, your emotions. Be present. Those are the priceless memories you'll treasure forever.
I’ll help you stay present
and stress-free
READY TO DIVE IN?
Living in a remote area of upstate NY, there weren’t many career paths to explore - I became a restaurant owner and settled into my life. I started photographing the food we served and I thought that would be the extent of my photo taking. Then, when I least expected it, everything fell into place. Long story short, I took some headshots for a friend (after turning her down a few times) and she absolutely loved them. Shortly after, I started shadowing her for weddings and something clicked.
Turns out, wedding photography wasn’t as scary as I thought. In fact, it’s an absolute honor to be such an integral part of each couples’ life. Photographing moments your future generations will cherish? What an absolute honor. Now, I love my career and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’ll make sure to document every detail of your day and give you the wedding photos you’ve always wanted and will treasure for years to come.
WORK WITH WHITNEY
Don’t be shy,
let’s get to know each other better
I love bourbon. Drink my coffee black. Live in Carhartts. I have a full sleeve and rarely brush my hair. Chapstick is my lipstick and I’m obsessed with true crime podcasts.

A few things I like:
Sleeping with my feet out of the covers. Do NOT try that tucked sheet *ish* on me. My feet need to be wild, free, and cold at night.
Mornings. I’d much rather get up at 1am than stay up till 1am. Makes so much sense, right??
Arriving at my airport gate 2 hours before departure just so I can sit there and wait.
A few things i dislike:
Sweet coffee. Give me hot, black, and strong or iced with a dash of whole milk. If it’s sweet, that’s ALL I can taste and I want to taste *actual* coffee, thank you very much.
The beach. Unless there are big waves to play in, I don’t want it. You can keep your hot sun, smelly water, and annoying sand.
Tonic Water. G&T lovers, ARE YOU INSANE? Get that bitter fizzy hell water away from me.
Let’s talk values
I’ve got some non-negotiables
CONNECTION
I want to build a real connection with all of my couples. I like to have an active role in helping you plan the details, and I’m all about getting to know each other through the whole process. It’s important that you’re comfortable with me (and if you’re not, it’ll show in your photos). So let’s laugh, bond, and trust one another so we can create the best memories of your wedding day.
Fun
Above all else, your wedding day should be fun! I want to make sure that you can let loose and experience each and every moment of your day. Leave the heavy lifting to me - you just worry about soaking it all in and having the time of your life with the love of your life.
Transparency
It’s very, very important to me that I’m honest and transparent about what to expect when you work with me. I always tell it like it is, and I want you to ask me any and every question that you can think of. You can only make the right decision for you if you have all the information, and I pride myself on being an open book.
THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPHER OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE
BECAUSE OF THIS, I DONT BOOK EVERYONE.
AND THAT'S OKAY.
