info & pricing

Photography is more than image... it’s a feeling, a memory, a way of holding on to what matters. My approach is rooted in presence, trust, and an eye for honest beauty. Each collection is captured with intention, so what we create together not only reflects this season of life, but elevates it into something lasting.

Timeless, emotive, and crafted just for you.

Your story deserves more than a photoshoot. It deserves to be seen—clearly, softly, truthfully.

Presence over performance ---images that feel like you.


I recognize how essential it is for photographs to reflect your individual connection, so my focus is on candid interactions and authentic emotions that run true to your day. My eye for the little details and a deep appreciation for beauty found in un-scripted moments, enable me to create images that celebrate the love and memories you share together as your day unfolds.

With Candid Wedding Photography, the focus here is more about the people and their real reactions or interactions. The goal is capturing authentic unposed "as it happens in the moment" images of emotions throughout your wedding day, without any posing, guidance, or staging by the photographer. 

For example, during certain events of the day such as Getting Ready, Cocktail Hour, or the Reception, I tend to gravitate to this style and focus on all those candid reactions and interactions of people during the event—it provides a very real and intimate perspective of that specific moment. It is not my focus for the whole day, as I feel there are certain events that do need a little more guidance. Those events can still have a candid and documentary feel, but they are better photographed with everyone on the same page and understanding what you are trying to achieve photo wise.

I get that some wedding blogs have pushed this request, and lead with fear regarding if a photographer is legit. However, I do not provide full galleries of past couple's weddings to those inquiring— their galleries are intimate and special, and to have strangers view their whole gallery and judge their images is not my vibe. Each wedding is a unique situation, timeline, and set focus.

There are plenty of love stories showcased throughout my website and in my Journal that speak loudly enough towards my work and shooting style regarding how I capture day in a variety of locations & light. 


Can we see a full gallery ?

As long as I can remember, I have always been in love with black + white images— if you haven’t already noticed from my website, lol. But for me, there is such strength to certain images when all the color is stripped away and you are left with the emotions of the moment, having all those feelings in full focus.

Because of this, I do not batch edit my black + white images… meaning you will not receive a black + white counterpart to all of your color images. Throughout your gallery, you will receive images in black + white that are meant to be showcased that way… ones that stand stronger to display the full emotion of the moment. 


dear to my heart, B&W images !

Documentary Wedding Photography focuses on interactions and connections thru the day as they happen naturally vs. capturing something that is staged or overly posed. This style helps provide an accurate representation of the people and events throughout your whole wedding day— images will showcase the environments as they are, true-life reactions and moments, while not forcing you to be or act in a way that is unnatural to you. So, if you or your guests are a more reserved, this will reflect as such in the gallery as well.


During an engagement session, we have the time to get to know each other and I get to see how you and your partner interact. This helps with what you are comfortable posing wise, and how you like to love on each other. We build trust, build confidence in showcasing your love, and we have a ton of fun being a little playful. 

Most of my shooting prompts carry over into the Wedding Day portraits, which also helps couples with any posing anxiety they may have. Knowing how you move and interact together is absolutely key for having seamless portraits on your wedding day. As well as images in your gallery that you will cherish because they speak true to you.
