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.
I get it — being in front of a camera can feel awkward. That’s why I approach every wedding with a balance in mind. I’m here to guide and direct when you need it, while also giving space for natural, unscripted moments to unfold. The result? Portraits you’ll love and candid photos you’ll cherish 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 part of the Adirondacks, career options felt limited. I became a restaurant owner and thought that was my path. When I started photographing the food we served, I figured that was the extent of my photography journey. But life had other plans.
A friend asked me to take her headshots, and after some hesitation, I finally said yes. She loved them, and not long after, I found myself shadowing her at weddings. And that's when something finally clicked.
Wedding photography, once intimidating, became my passion. Being trusted to capture moments that future generations will cherish is a privilege I don’t take lightly. Now, I can’t imagine doing anything else. My goal is to document every meaningful detail of your day, giving you wedding photos that feel authentic, timeless, and truly yours.

Don’t be shy,
let’s get to know each other better
I love bourbon and martinis. Drink my coffee black. I have a full sleeve and rarely brush my hair. Chapstick is my lipstick and I’m obsessed with audio books and video game soundtracks.
“I love bourbon.

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??
Sweaters. Specifically wool. Preferably oversized and chunky.
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.

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.
