I'm not here to document your wedding. I'm here to collect it — the way I once collected cameras, the way I spent hours collecting feelings from photographs in my grandparents' house. Twelve years and hundreds of weddings later, I know how to find what's worth keeping. And I know how to make sure it lasts.

I've spent twelve years learning exactly when to do which.
There's an art to knowing when to be invisible and when to direct.
So you're still figuring out who to trust with your wedding day? That's ok. It's one of the most important decisions you'll make in this process. The photographer you choose shapes not just your images but your entire experience of the day itself. So before you decide, I want you to know exactly what working with me looks like.
Because the right fit should feel obvious, and I believe transparency is where that starts.
Here's what you can expect with my process

LET'S EMBARK ON THIS BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY
We start with a 30-minute video call — and I mean that casually. No formal questionnaire, no pressure. I want to know who you are as people: what you love, how you met, what you're picturing when you close your eyes and imagine your wedding day.
We'll talk logistics too — timelines, locations, what you're hoping for visually — but the point of this call is simpler than that. I just want to get to know you.
If it feels like a good fit on both sides, I'll send over a proposal. Once that's confirmed, we move to the contract and you're officially booked. Simple as that.

it starts with who you are, not what you want
We get to know each other
01
About three months out, we start getting into the details — and this is where my background in wedding planning really comes into its own. I work directly with you or your planner to build a timeline that does something most people don't think to ask for: it protects your actual experience of the day.
That means building in enough time for beautiful images and enough breathing room for you to eat, talk to your guests, and be present for the moments that can't be recreated. It's easy to let a wedding day become a checklist. My job is to make sure it doesn't — so that at the end of the night, you remember how it felt, not just how it looked.

The planning is set in motion

By the time your wedding day comes, there are no surprises. You've already told me what matters to you, we've mapped out the day together, and I know exactly where to be and when. All that's left is for you to show up and be present.
You won't need to manage me or think about me much at all. I'll know when to step in and when to disappear. And because everything has been thought through in advance, you can spend the day doing the one thing no photograph can replace — actually living it.
everything is handled. all you have to do is show up.
