as it feels in the photographs.

Collaboration means crafting a seamless wedding experience that flows as harmoniously in person

A wedding photographer’s role isn’t just to capture images—it’s to communicate and collaborate with the entire team so we can all do our best work and give our clients the best possible experience. While I’m focused on the shot list, I’m also keeping one eye on the timeline and ensuring the event feels seamless from start to finish.

I know how important it is to be flexible, and I’m always ready to pivot or step in where needed, whether it’s adjusting to a change in the timeline or lending a hand in unexpected moments. You’ll never hear me say, “that’s not my job.” 

I'm on your team, ALWAYS.

Intuiting the right environment to help couples and their loved ones feel safe, comfortable, and present is one of my top priorities (and helps produce the most genuine, emotive imagery). I’m flexible throughout the planning experience and on the wedding day itself in order to hold space and help clients (and fellow vendors) feel at ease.


Empathy is my superpower.

It’s my job to capture ALL parts of a wedding. This includes the design elements you’ve spent so much time curating. You have spent months learning about and collaborating with the couple to build as a personalized reflection of the their style and values. These details are, therefore, just as much a part of their wedding story as the rings, the ceremony, and portraits of guests. I believe in the robust, holistic documentation of a celebration; I bring a styling kit, light candles before shooting reception tables, and highlight decor and details in photos that you’ll be elated to add to your portfolio.

I care about the details.

Every wedding is so different; there’s no “one size fits all” approach to inclusions and pricing. I’ll share an investment guide, but it’s just a starting point—I’m ready to build custom service collections, suggest substitutions, and craft a photography package (with alternative options to consider alongside à la carte add-ons) that are just right for your clients’ personalized celebration. Everything is flexible, and we can always make adjustments to a couple’s collection as we approach the wedding weekend, whether that means extra hours on the big day or adding welcome party coverage the night before.

Anything can be customized.
