Remember the day through the little moments

Your wedding day is packed with all the feels – from laughs to happy tears – and I’m all about capturing that vibe. When you check out my wedding galleries, you’ll see that it’s all about the people and their expressions. Sure, we’ll snag some gorgeous detail shots, but my main thing is capturing those real, raw moments between you and your fam, all in a super artistic way.

Every part of your wedding day is pure magic, and I’m here to capture all those sweet, real moments as they unfold. Sure, I’m on the lookout for the big iconic shots – like your dad’s face when he first sees you in your dress or that epic “we’re married!” moment. But honestly, some of my fave photos are the ones from the in-between moments. I’m always watching for those little, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it vibes that make your day unforgettable.

Why Choose Me?



Your wedding isn’t just an event – it’s a collection of real moments that tell your love story. I specialize in capturing those fleeting, honest emotions: the quiet nervous smile before the ceremony, the joyful tears during your vows, the laughter that erupts on the dance floor. These are the moments that matter, and they deserve to be remembered exactly as they felt.

With a documentary-style approach, I focus on storytelling through candid photography. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just the genuine, beautiful chaos of your most meaningful day – artfully preserved forever.

From sun-drenched outdoor ceremonies to dimly lit receptions, I bring years of technical expertise and an intuitive eye to every lighting situation, ensuring your photos are stunning no matter the setting.

 

“No words can describe how much we love these photographs. You captured the best day of our lives in the most authentic way possible. We love them all so so much..”

– Ariel + Rob

How soon can we see photos?


While you are enjoying newlywed bliss, maybe sipping a cocktail on the beach, I’m hard at work, excitedly going through your wedding photos. Within about 2-3 days of the wedding, I’ll post a sneak peak to your gallery. You’ll be able to download the high resolution & start posting to social media. The full gallery will be finished within 8-10 weeks of the wedding.

02.

How many photos will we get?

Every wedding is a little different, depending on the flow of the day. On average, I deliver 900-1300 fully edited images.

03.

Are all the photos edited?

Yes! All the photos are color corrected with my true color light and bright editing and a few moody black and white photos. I obsess over every image and eliminate any distracting elements in the background like random people and cars.
