You’re planning a wedding that feels thoughtful, stylish, and completely your own. Your photographs should reflect all of it: the fashion, the atmosphere, the people you love, and the beautifully unplanned moments in between. Tell me what you’re dreaming up, and I’ll bring the creative direction, honest guidance, and Type-A organization that help everything feel easier.

My graphic design background means I notice composition, color, balance, and all the tiny visual details you spent months choosing. My Type-A side means I’m thinking ahead, collaborating with your vendor team, and solving problems before they become your problems.

Your gallery will be filled with both polished portraits and honest moments that bring back the full atmosphere of your wedding day.

Editorial, Nostalgia-Rich Wedding Photos for Couples Who Care About Style and Feeling

My work lives between editorial direction and honest observation. You’ll receive polished, fashion-aware portraits alongside the reactions, conversations, movement, and delightfully questionable dance-floor decisions. The final gallery is warm, atmospheric, film-inspired, and composed with the full story in mind.

What’s your photography style?

Absolutely! Most couples are not professional models, nor should that be a prerequisite for getting married. I’ll guide you with clear, natural direction so you know what to do without feeling stiff or over-posed. I pay attention to how you naturally interact and create movement from there. 

We feel awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?

Being present at your wedding is one of the priorities we protect throughout the planning process. We’ll build a thoughtful timeline, prepare in advance, and photograph efficiently so you can have beautiful portraits without missing the celebration you planned!

Will photography take us away from our guests for hours?

Very. Once you book, I’ll help with photography timing, lighting considerations, locations, visual direction, family-photo organization, and any details that affect the flow of the day. I also collaborate closely with planners, designers, and the rest of your vendor team. You won’t need to arrive with every answer—I’ll offer ideas, flag potential issues, and give you my honest professional opinion when it’ll help.

How involved are you in the planning process?

Yes! I use a combination of both to create a gallery with warmth, texture, consistency, and flexibility across changing lighting conditions.

Do you photograph with film and digital cameras?
