If you asked me what true love looks like, I’d show you my grandparents. They’ve been married for over sixty years, and their relationship set a high bar for the sort of love I sought in my own life. When I see their wedding photos, I love how every moment is authentically them. Their carefree spirit, the way they squint against the bright sun, the quality of the film—it’s all so perfectly imperfect, and it makes me feel like I’m right there alongside them. When it comes to your wedding, I document everything in a similar sentiment and exactly the way it felt to you. Your wedding photos will encompass your whole story, from portraits and pretty details to all the fleeting moments in between. My work is evocative, narrative, playful, and real, and reflective of the energy and excitement of your day.
 
My background in photography started as a curious and creative kid and led to my formal education and BFA in photography from the Academy of Art University. Since then I’ve photographed countless weddings for clients who always wanted something a little different, recognizing that I'm an artist with a distinct style and passion for photographing meaningful weddings. I live for movement and happiness and romance, and my playful approach allows me to see you and capture you in your best light. I'm so grateful for a career that allows me to connect with clients in such profound ways, and my greatest joy is honoring your family's legacy. I can't wait to photograph your wedding!
 
You'll often find me working in local California hot spots like Napa Valley and Carmel, among other incredible global destinations. My work is featured in magazines and online publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, Brides Magazine, C Weddings, Style Me Pretty and Snippet & Ink. When I'm not photographing weddings, I'm playing goalie on the soccer field or off on a wild adventure with my hubby and three great danes.
