I’m a documentary-style wedding photographer and filmmaker working with couples, creatives, and brands who want imagery that feels fresh, intentional, and elevated. My approach is rooted in observation rather than performance. I help people who feel awkward in front of the camera relax into the experience, documenting weddings, couples sessions, and brand stories as they naturally unfold instead of directing every moment or reshaping the day around photos. With an editorial eye and a calm, unobtrusive presence, I create work that feels artful without being overly posed. I specialize in vintage mediums including 35mm and medium format film, Super 8, and camcorder video.

With over 13 years of experience photographing weddings, destination events, and editorial brand campaigns around the world, I bring both creative vision and logistical knowledge to every project. I know when to step in and when to disappear, how to adapt quickly in unfamiliar environments, and how to create high-level imagery without disrupting the experience. For couples, that means wedding days and sessions that feel present and unforced. For brands, it means unique, editorial imagery that strengthens visual identity and can’t be replicated elsewhere. Above all, I care deeply about making the process feel effortless and human, knowing that the most powerful images come from moments that are allowed to exist exactly as they are.

IF I'M NOT TAKING PHOTOS, YOU CAN FIND ME...

more about me:

I am deeply inspired by nature and connection. Outside is my favorite place to be. Hiking with a film camera in my hand is one of my favorite past times. If you have a place that's special to you in nature, I would LOVE to capture you there. One of my bucket list shoots is actually to have my little family documented on Mt. Rainier or in Sedona, my top two hiking spots. I also dream of creating funky brand editorials & wedding photos in very outdoorsy locations, mixing both the creative and rugged.

YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND ME OUTSIDE, WITH A CUP OF COFFEE AND FILM CAMERA IN HAND.

more about me:

YES. I prefer to travel, actually. I am so inspired by new places and surroundings. My travel rates vary depending on location and include any cost associated with/incurred to travel to complete the project. I strongly recommend having me in town 2 days prior to a wedding and 1 day prior for sessions to avoid any hiccups due to flights/travel etc. 

"do you travel?"

I have several packages for weddings and sessions, and pricing varies depending on location and peak seasons. My local wedding collections start at $5000 and my sessions start at $500. Branding, Super 8 film video, elopements, and destination weddings work is all custom tailored to your project.

"What are your rates?"

Weddings can expect a turnaround time of 6-8 weeks, and sessions can expect 3-4 weeks. Don't be surprised to see your link in your inbox sooner, however. ;) 

If you need your gallery sooner, ask me about adding RUSH editing to your package!

"when can we expect our gallery?"

Basic edits and retouching on close ups is included with your gallery. For heavy edits, I outsource to a photoshop master, and this will be invoiced separately. 

"can you edit my _____?"
"can you replace the background?"
"Can you edit ____ from every photo?"
