Let’s be honest, having your photo taken can feel super awkward

I’d say about 98% of my couples come to me saying that they feel uncomfortable in front of a camera and don’t like having their photo taken. Here’s the thing - I don’t either. This is why I make it one of my top priorities to make sure that your photography experience is relaxed and centered around an approach that’s authentic to you as a couple.

While the documentary style approach is a perfect fit for those who are camera shy, there does come the time in the day where a few nice portraits of you and your soon to be spouse are important to document as well.

This is why I take care to get to know you prior to the wedding day so that I can handle posing in a way that seems natural to you as a couple. I won’t leave you hanging where you don’t know what to do with your hands or face, instead I’ll give you prompts of how to interact with one another in a way that makes for natural photos that feel like you.

The wedding industrial complex isn’t exactly your thing and you don’t see yourself represented by some vendors

I’m hopefully not the only wedding professional saying this to you but the wedding industry can be kind of gross. Yes, my grown up punk rock, cool aunt is showing here but it’s true. Luckily in my 14 years in the wedding industry, I have seen it change but even in 2026 major wedding publications are going to show you a lot of traditional cookie cutter weddings with very traditional cookie cutter looking people in them.

If you feel like you don’t fit into that mold then hell yeah! - you are my kind of people! My favorite weddings are the ones where couples embrace who they are and strive to make their wedding a unique celebration of their partnership. I’ve photographed 250+ weddings and I feel so lucky to have photographed everything from specific cultural celebrations blended together in a beautiful setting to a poly commitment ceremony in a dark goth bar. Getting to document so many unique celebrations fuels me as an artist.

A lot of vendors might merely tolerate your differences but with me, I’m here to celebrate the things about you that make you who you are. I truly believe in creating a comfortable, safe space for my clients where they can feel seen and understood. There’s no worse feeling than having to hide parts of yourself for someone else’s comfort and your wedding day is way too important to not feel truly like yourself.

Real moments edited in a natural way

One of my biggest strengths and greatest weaknesses is that I’m a very empathic person but it does benefit me greatly when it comes to documenting weddings. While I approach most of the day like a fly on the wall (snapping photos you didn’t even know I was there for). I’m also highly tuned into how the day feels, which helps me photograph it in a way that feels 100% authentic to each unique day.

While I’m there to make sure that we stay on our timeline, keep nerves calm, wrangle family & friends and even direct the occasional lost bus driver, my main focus is to be the keeper of your memories through the photos I take.

After everything is said and done on wedding day, the one thing you have left to look back on it with is the photographs. This is why I take such care to document as many moments as I can (both big and small) and I try to capture as many candids of you and your guests as possible. For me, the people and their interactions are what really tell the story if the day.

* A quick note on editing - editing is a huge part of how the photos feel. I keep my editing as natural as possible while still keeping your photos looking bright and polished. I stick to a more timeless editing style so that you can look back on your wedding day decades from now and see the day for how it was instead of some trend that was popular that year. I don’t do heavy retouching because I want your photos to actually look and feel like you.
