“You’re not just planning a wedding, you’re creating a once-in-a-lifetime moment. I’m here to make sure every laugh, tear, and unexpected dance move lives on in beautiful, honest photographs.”
I believe every love story deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered in a way that feels true to you. Whether you’re planning an intimate backyard ceremony or a full-day celebration, my goal is simple: to capture what makes your story yours.
“Photography found me at sixteen, and I’ve been chasing light and emotion ever since.”
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer, living in Longmont, Colorado. I am originally from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Growing up surrounded by the splendor of nature, I developed a profound appreciation for the environment and a deep love for capturing its beauty through the lens of my camera. I started my career as a studio photographer years ago, and over time, I discovered how much I love the unscripted, genuine moments. Environmental Conservation and protecting the earth are causes close to my heart. My love for animals and nature is evident in my work, as I enjoy identifying birds and trees and photographing the natural world.
What sets me apart?
I pour my heart into every gallery I deliver. I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable. Love is love, and it all deserves to be documented beautifully. Wedding photography is especially meaningful to me because of my deeply held belief in true love. There is nothing like finding that person who makes you feel complete, like you have found your other half. Capturing these moments of pure joy and connection is a privilege I cherish deeply.
Fun fact: I also photograph pets, so yes, your dog is 100% invited to the wedding.
I blend documentary storytelling with artful composition, so your photos feel timeless but not overly posed. My editing brings out:
Warm, true-to-life colors
Soft contrast and detail
A touch of cinematic mood without heavy filters
Think: emotional, natural, and slightly magical.
"I want you to feel fully present — knowing every irreplaceable memory is in good hands.”
From the moment you book, I’m here to make the experience smooth, fun, and totally you.
