About me

I was raised in Denver, Colorado. Growing up I didn’t feel like I had a place because I was not passionate about anything until I found photography at 18. Photography opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounded me everywhere I went. Since then It has enveloped me. Ive taken countless photos and spent countless hours researching and improving my craft.

In this day and age the lifespan of most photos is so short. You post something on instagram and a few days later it has lost its relevance. This is not true about wedding photography. Ive seen my parents wedding photos. Ive seen my grandparents wedding photos. When I take photos for weddings this is my mantra. Take the photo that will be on someones wall for the rest of their life. I try and stay away from contemporary phot trends and deliver images that will not look corny or outdated in the future. I try and capture true to life colors and document what actually happened that day.

Based in Southern California, but willing to travel anywhere. If you’re going, take me with you.

  • A photograph is simply a representation of a memory. My goal is to capture all of the beautiful memories of your wedding day like a fly on the wall. I’m a believer in posing very little and capturing candid moments instead.

    When I edit my photos I take a painstakingly long time on each one and make sure the whole gallery is congruent. I edit to be timeless and not trendy. My goal is for your wedding album to be a work of art for decades to come.

  • My goal for your wedding day is to be a calm presence on a very chaotic day. I’m a farsighted planner but am flexible when it comes to changes (things always change). In a lot of ways I thrive I the chaos. Im the most ADHD person and so the ever changing wedding day environment is a perfect fit for my brain. I’m super passionate about photography and I would love to use my gifts and talents to serve you on your big day.
