more about ME 

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012. Long enough to know I am not here to run your day.
Photos are not everything.
And I refuse to add to the pile of expectations already sitting on your shoulders.
You don’t need another director.
You don’t need to perform.

I’m here to observe.
To document the things you didn’t know were happening because you were too busy actually living them.
To show you how deeply you are loved.
To freeze this exact version of your lives before it shifts, because it will.
After 14 years of being at weddings almost every weekend, this approach still shakes me to my core.
Not the perfection.
Not the details.
The people.
