My Style

My style is a delicate balance of timeless elegance and authentic storytelling. I blend fine art with a documentary approach, capturing intimate moments without staging or intrusion. Every image reflects the genuine emotions and beauty of your day, resulting in a collection that feels effortless and true to your love story.

My Story

I’ve always been drawn to creativity and the arts, but I initially found a practical path as an occupational therapist, helping people in the hospital. Witnessing the fragility of life and becoming a mom deepened my appreciation for how fleeting and precious moments can be. When I discovered wedding photography, I realized it was my way to preserve those moments—creating a legacy of love, connection, and cherished memories that endure long after the day is over.

My Method

Every wedding is different, and I enter each celebration with care—blending in as if I were one of your closest guests. My method is simple: I believe in being present without intruding, and providing gentle guidance as needed. I work quietly, ensuring that I’m there to capture every meaningful moment while allowing you and your guests to enjoy the day. This balance of presence and subtlety ensures that your images are genuine, capturing the true essence of your celebration.

I understand the honor and responsibility that comes with the role. This is why I limit the number of weddings I take each year, dedicating my full attention to every couple. By accepting a select number of bookings, I’m able to provide the time, care, and focus your day deserves. The result is a collection of images that captures not only the beauty but the emotion of your celebration, preserving your memories with the attention they deserve.
