Weddings are a beautiful reminder of why we love in the first place. The way love fills the whole space, the teary-eyed hugs from the people who’ve known you forever, the chatter at each dinner table as glasses clink in celebration, and the overwhelming feeling of “this is exactly where I’m meant to be” amidst it all. I photograph weddings because I believe in cherishing that feeling forever, so when you look back, you don’t just see the day—you feel it all over again. You deserve to remember it all, exactly as it happened.

why i do what i do
work with me
When I first picked up a camera in 2015, I could have never anticipated that photography would become the most fulfilling part of my life. As someone who romanticizes every moment, I have always been obsessed with preserving snapshots of my life to look back on as I get older.
Now, I have the privilege of doing this for others—capturing love stories in the most incredible places, preserving the heartfelt "I do's," the first dances, and all the fleeting yet unforgettable moments in between. It’s become second nature, allowing me to document these memories in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Born and raised in Minnesota, I now call both LA and NYC home, but ready to go wherever your love guides us.
my story
Every wedding is a story I tell with warmth, attentiveness, and a devotion to the details that make it uniquely yours. I believe in truly getting to know my couples so I can document their day in a way that feels deeply personal. With a mix of quiet observation and gentle guidance, I ensure your experience is as meaningful and seamless as the photos themselves.
Personal
I believe wedding photos should stand the test of time—genuine, true to color, and effortlessly authentic. My approach is rooted in photographing the quiet magic and raw emotion of your day, ensuring that when you look back, your photos feel just as meaningful and true to heart as the day they were taken.
