Your real moments deserve to be beautifully preserved
I take an editorial-meets-documentary approach to your wedding day. I’m present and attuned to every candid moment, while creating the conditions for images that are flattering and well-composed.
For portraits, I’ll find the light, set the scene, and provide gentle direction. For everything else, I practice restraint—knowing when to let the day tell its own story. The best moments happen on their own; my job is to be ready for them.
Film is where my love of photography began, and it's still at the core of how I work today. Film honors the moment—it slows me down, asks me to be deliberate, and brings a softness and depth to skin tones and light that digital can't quite replicate. My digital photography, as a counterbalance, is responsive and reliable for every fast-moving part of the day.
Together, they give your gallery a feeling that is both modern and timeless. Every wedding collection I offer includes both.

02 Preparation
Leading up to your wedding, I'll work closely with you and your planner to build a thoughtful photography timeline that fits into the larger plan for the day. Sunset, family portraits, getting ready windows, transition time between locations—every detail considered so the day flows beautifully.
Every wedding photography collection includes digital and film photography coverage, sneak peeks within 48 hours, your full curated gallery within 8-10 weeks, and ongoing guidance throughout the planning process.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to make sure my couples receive a high-touch, tailored experience.
Most couples book between $7,000 and $9,000.
Reach out for the full guide, including coverage options, second photographer, and add-ons.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Almost always, yes. A professional planner or coordinator makes a real difference in how your day flows and how present you and your guests can actually be. My couples who work with planners consistently report feeling more relaxed, more in the moment, and more able to enjoy what they spent so long planning. If you haven't hired one yet, I'm happy to share a list of planners I love working with.
Do you recommend working with a wedding planner?
Yes—I photograph using both film and digital formats. Digital photography is quick and reliable, while film brings a softer, more timeless quality to certain parts of the day. My goal is to blend the two thoughtfully in your final gallery to create a cohesive, layered collection of images.
Do you shoot both film and digital?
I deliver a minimum of 100 images per hour of coverage, with most galleries exceeding that. My priority is to document your day in its entirety and each image is thoughtfully selected and hand edited.
How many images will we receive?
You’ll receive a preview gallery 48 hours after your wedding, and your full gallery will be delivered within 8-10 weeks. If you’d like a faster turnaround, priority editing within 5 weeks is available as an add-on.
When will we receive our photos?
Yes! I believe every celebration is worthy of documentation, regardless of its size. For intimate weddings and elopements, pricing starts at $2,200.
