artistic STORYTELLING

candid & EXPRESSIVE

Let me guess, you think you're awkward in front of the camera. Trust me, 99.9% of people think they are too. Until they see their photos and they look like models, just sayinggg.

I know how to pose and prompt you to capture you in your most flattering angles. I know how to pose your hands, your feet, your face...literally things you've never even thought of. & I do all this in the most natural way so you don't look stiff, uncomfortable, or forced.

Your wedding day is made up of so many details, people, moments, and memories.

Having a storytelling approach means we are capturing your day beyond the big moments; the moments that might be overlooked but have such a huge meaning later.

While you are the main characters, I tell your story in it's entirety. I already know it's gonna be a good one.

Gone are the days when everything has to be perfect.

I am not seeking perfection & neither should you.

Yes, sometimes things do work out perfectly. But there is so much beauty in the imperfections.

You should never be afraid to dance silly, cry ugly, or laugh loud; it's your wedding day! Weddings are meant to be FUN!
