Documentary Wedding Photography in Film & Digital

Stories told through light, landscape, and quiet moments.

I tell wedding stories through a refined documentary lens, focusing on honest expression and thoughtful use of light and landscape. Shooting in film and digital allows me to balance nostalgia with detail. The images are warm, cinematic, and grounded in the reality of your day

The first thing you need to know about me is I'm truly your classic art kid, all grown up! I love the outdoors, travel, animals, food, and anything art-related. If I’m not at a photoshoot, I’m most likely working on one of my creative projects.
