Here's The Lowdown

In the most genuine sense, don't overthink it. In a world where a lot of things can be all-consuming, I don't want this experience to be one of them. It really can be that simple. I'm here to make your life easier through an involved and considerate experience that allows for you to live your life without any expectations, and in exchange, receive preserved memories that will last a lifetime and longer.

Connecting:
I love working with people I would see myself being friends with in the real world. Getting to know each other and having a good time is the best way to build the trust necessary when working together. I do this by zoom calls, text check-ins, becoming mutuals on socials, meeting for coffee, or if time allows, I love to catch dinner with my couples. It's another step away from being strangers and another step towards genuine relationships! 

Being In Front of My Camera:
It can be intimidating being in front of the camera, especially for the first time, I totally get it! I often hear people say things along the lines of "we're awkward," "we're not photogenic," "we don't know what to do!" My answer to this, every time is "I promise you cannot mess up photos of yourself - it's YOU" and I totally mean it. My job is to pick up on your natural instincts and let those feelings be the guide, not force you into stiff poses that don't feel reflective of your relationship. I will give you the guidance and space that provides you with the freedom to be you while leaving the door open for opportunities to have fun and get creative! My ultimate goal is to document you in a state where you feel safe to let your guard down. But don't worry, I'll ease you in! 

My Mindset:
I am walking into your wedding day with the mindset of observation. How your day happens, that's what I want your images to reflect. I always say we'll get the classic portraits "for the wall," but beyond that, I believe the in-between moments and the photos that live in the scrapbook on the coffee table are just as important. The pressure isn't on you. Your job is not to perform, it is to live. Besides, those will most likely the photos you love the most, and I'm here to play the long game. Being present and being attentive are two of the most important things you and I can be on your wedding day. 

My Vision:
I aim for my work to be showcased through true-tone edits with an enhanced, timeless finish. I utilize film and polaroid mediums to achieve the goal of sparking nostalgia from my work. Those same tones found in film also inspire the finish on some of my digital images as well. I want your photos to feel lived in. When we flip back through photo albums from our past, there's an element of authenticity that exists in every photo. It was before we all knew how to pose and be camera ready at all times. The photos were the proof of the moments, the moments weren't planned around photo-ops. You deserve a photo gallery that is singular to you. Your moments, your people, your memories, preserved beautifully for you to look back on as a time capsule of your life as you currently know it.

Your experience - It matters
