Film-Inspired Wedding + Lifestyle Photography for the Moments You Never Want to Forget

 

 

My approach is two things at once: deeply human and quietly artistic. I shoot in a way that's unscripted and unhurried - less about directing you and more about staying present to catch the moments that actually matter. The glance before the vows. The exhale after. The hand that reaches without thinking. Visually, my work lives in warm, earthy tones with a film-inspired softness that makes photos feel less like a highlight reel and more like something you'd find tucked in an old envelope. A little moody. A little nostalgic. Completely yours. If you've been looking for someone who feels more like a calm friend with a camera than a vendor with a checklist - you're in the right place.

Your Story Deserves to Be Documented Like This.

Choosing to invest in photography isn't just about the photos - it's the only thing from your wedding day you'll have forever. The flowers will die, the food will be eaten, and the decor will find a new home. The photos are what you'll have to cherish each of these things and your memories, to share with everyone you love and will meet later in life.


If something in this work made you feel something, I'd love to tell you more about what it looks like to work together.

FAQ

Do you have full galleries I can view?

Yes, of course!! I'm happy to share a handful of full galleries with you after inquiring - reach out and I will send a link for you to view full galleries of past clients. You can also see more full collections of photographs on my Instagram or Tiktok page too in the meantime!

Do you edit every photo in our gallery?

Yes! Every single one. You won't receive a mix of edited and unedited images.

What lands in your gallery has been thoughtfully culled and fully edited to reflect the light, mood, and feeling of your actual day. I don't batch process or apply a one-size-fits-all preset - each image gets individual attention.

I only do light editing - I'll remove extreme distractions, blemishes that would otherwise be gone in two weeks, and standard exposure and color editing. I do so because I believe it preserves the authenticity of your photos.

Do you pose couples or let things happen naturally?

Mostly, I let things happen. My approach is documentary at heart - I'm there to witness your day, not choreograph it. That said, I'm not a fly-on-the-wall who leaves you completely on your own. I'll offer gentle nudges when they're helpful - a direction to walk, a quiet moment to share - and then I step back and let it be real. The goal is always for you to forget the camera is there, because that's when the best photos happen!

How many photos will we receive?

This number varies depending on session type! A good standard rule of thumb is roughly 50 quality photographs per hour of coverage. I always choose to promise quality over quantity with my photographs. I don't pad numbers with near-duplicates, and I don't cut things arbitrarily short. You'll receive every photo that genuinely tells part of your story - the quiet ones included.

For a full wedding day, galleries include between 600–900 images. Intimate weddings and elopement galleries have between 200-500 images. All couples and portrait galleries have 75-100 images.

When will we receive our photos?

I know the wait after your wedding day or session is real! That's exactly why I prioritize getting a sneak peek gallery of your favorite moments to you within a week of your day. Consider it a little something to hold you over ;)

For the full gallery, timelines vary a little by session type. Wedding galleries are delivered within 8 weeks, Elopement galleries within 6 weeks and within 4 weeks for couples and portrait sessions. Every image in your gallery gets individual attention, so while I never want you waiting longer than necessary, I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something that's meant to last a lifetime!
