I’m more confident in my ability to help clients have a beautiful day and deliver images that feel authentic and true.

I bring calm, clear planning and an easygoing presence to every shoot so your day unfolds naturally. My approach blends film and digital to capture both the grainy, timeless moments and the crisp, detailed ones — real smiles, quiet glances, unscripted interactions. I prioritize candid connection over stiff posing, guiding gently when needed and stepping back when the moment is already perfect.

Practical things I do to make that happen:

Pre-wedding consultation to understand your priorities, timeline, and must-have shots.

Shot list collaboration so we cover family formals and the meaningful unscripted moments.

Calm, unobtrusive direction for portraits that keeps people comfortable and genuine.

Use of film for emotional, nostalgic frames and digital for fast-moving, detail-rich captures.

Quick communication and a backup plan so logistics never overshadow your day.

The result is a relaxed experience and a gallery of images that look — and feel — like you: honest, warm, and beautifully true to the moment.

I do not seek travel, but will travel for the right couple!

If your day is meaningful and feels like "us"—whether that's an intimate barn wedding in Ohio, a city elopement, or a destination celebration—I'll join you. I shoot a hybrid of film and digital to capture honest, timeless images with natural poses and real emotion. Travel availability is considered on a case-by-case basis and may include travel fees depending on distance, logistics, and the scope of the event.

Meeting your family and capturing genuine emotion is one of the most meaningful parts of your day. Those first hugs, nervous laughs, proud smiles, and quiet moments shape your story. I stay present but unobtrusive—guiding gentle poses while watching for spontaneous details: a wiped tear, a whispered joke, a grandparent’s hand. Shooting hybrid film and digital preserves warmth and texture (film) plus crisp, immediate detail (digital). The result is an honest, lived-in gallery—portraits of connection, candid personality, and memorable close-ups. Bring everyone as they are, and we’ll create images you’ll cherish for generations.
