a glimpse behind the camera

With my documentary style approach, I focus on creating a visual narrative that reflects the unique spirit of each couple. Each love story is a one-of-a-kind celebration of authenticity and connection that deserves to be captured on camera. Love is diverse, and I take pride in creating a welcoming space for couples of all backgrounds, cultures, and orientations. 

What distinguishes my work is my commitment to an easy-going and fun photography experience. I believe in cultivating a relaxed atmosphere where you can be your true selves, fostering connections that translate into stunning, genuine photographs. From quiet reflections to joyous laughter and the energetic dance floor, I capture it all!

DESTINATION WEDDING?

My core values

Each and every couple and person has a uniqueness that I think deserves to be captured. I am all for pretty pictures, but I am more driven by being able to capture the special quirks a person has or the unique humor a couple shares. It brings me joy to be able to photograph individuals in a way that feels genuine and true to who they are.

I love getting to know people. I am definitely an extrovert! Being able to find common ground with another individual is such a beautiful thing. Getting to capture that connection between two individuals is so special!
