I want you to feel like you can trust me, lean on me, and text me when you need a second opinion. When we work together, I’m getting to know your vision, adding my creative eye to it, and making sure the things you care about don’t get lost in the shuffle.

From the first call to the wedding day, I want you to feel excited, supported, and like you’ve got someone in your corner who really gets you. All wedding collections come with a complimentary engagement session so I can learn your angles, vibe with your personalities, and get a grounded idea of what you’re like in front of the camera. That way, by the time wedding day rolls around, we’ll flow right into our groove together. Every wedding package includes hands-on logistics support, photography timeline guidance, a seven-day sneak peek, and a hand-edited final gallery. Coverage may also include a second photographer, film photography, rehearsal dinner or welcome-party coverage, and additional support for destination logistics.

Wedding collections begin at $7,800. After you inquire, you’ll receive the full custom pricing guide with detailed package options, inclusions, and available add-ons so you can choose the experience that fits your plans best.


Editorial, Nostalgia-Rich Digital & Film Wedding Photography with Unlimited Emotional Support.

These are typically the core wedding values of the couple I’m particularly obsessed with. You appreciate a stylish aesthetic, creative collaboration, and hands-on guidance. You’re excited about the details, ready to collab, and looking for someone who’ll understand the vision while helping you actually enjoy it.

here's how it all comes together

Editorial and nostalgic, with a balance of guided portraits and emotionally honest moments. I use light, composition, movement, and thoughtful direction to create photographs that feel polished without losing the personality of the day.

How would you describe your photography style?

Yes. I blend film and digital photography to create a gallery with cohesive color, warmth, texture, and emotional depth.

Do you photograph with film and digital cameras?

Absolutely! I’ll give you clear, natural direction when you need it and create space for candid moments when you don’t. You’ll never be left wondering what to do with your hands. 

Will you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?

Very. I help with engagement-session locations and styling, photography priorities, timeline development, and communication with your planner or vendor team. I’m also available throughout the process when questions come up!

How involved are you before the wedding?

I photograph weddings throughout Detroit, Michigan, Chicago, Nashville, Charleston, and destinations worldwide! Destination proposals are customized based on travel and event logistics.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely, I love being involved in all of the momentous wedding occasions. Additional event coverage is available and is already included in the Wedding Weekend Collection.

Can we add rehearsal dinner or welcome-party coverage?
