What draws you to weddings?
I’ve always been the kind of person who looks back. Some of my favorite things as a kid were old family photos, the slightly faded ones where nobody was posing and you could still feel the room. Those pictures taught me that photographs aren’t really about the day they’re taken. They’re about every day after, when they become the way back in. A wedding is one of the rare days you know, while it’s happening, that you’ll want to return to it someday. Getting to make that way back for you is what keeps me in love with this work.
I’ve spent more than ten years in weddings, planning, coordinating, and filming before I ever picked up a camera professionally, and what still moves me is what happens underneath all the timelines and expectations: the nervous laugh before the doors open, the way your dad holds on a second too long, the quiet look you give each other when no one’s watching. I’m there for those moments. I shoot on film and digital, I tell your day as a story rather than a checklist.
How do you want couples to feel when they experience your work?
On your wedding day, I want you to feel like you have someone in your corner. I’ll be right there with you, guiding when you need it, stepping back when the moment speaks for itself, and keeping things calm so you never feel rushed or lost in the details. I want you to feel present, unhurried, and completely taken care of, so you can laugh too loud, cry a little, and soak in every moment while I hold onto it for you. You don’t need to know how to pose or be “good in photos.” You just need to be you, together, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Where do you find creative inspiration outside of weddings?
My inspiration comes from the world around me and the people creating in it. I’m endlessly drawn to other artists, painters, filmmakers, and photographers who make me see light, color, and composition in a new way. Nature grounds me: the way morning light spills across a coastline, how a field moves in the wind, the honest, unplanned beauty that no one could ever stage. And music is woven into everything I do. A song can hold a whole feeling in just a few notes, and that’s exactly what I want your photographs to do, capture not only what your day looked like, but how it felt, the rhythm of it, the quiet parts and the moments that swell.My inspiration comes from the world around me and the people creating in it.

What are your favorite moments on a wedding day?
My favorite moments of any wedding day are the ones where I can tell you’re having exactly the experience you hoped for. It might be the second you stop thinking about the timeline and just laugh, or when you look around the room and realize everyone you love is there for you. That’s when everything clicks. Those are the moments when the photos come out the most honest and the most you, and catching them gives me a thrill every single time. It’s the reason I do this: not just to document your day, but to be there when it becomes everything you wanted it to be.
Is there a dream location you'd love to work a wedding in?
If you’re dreaming of a wedding somewhere far from home, I’m already packing my bag. Honestly, I’ll go anywhere, but the more adventurous and unexpected the destination, the more excited I get. Whether it’s a remote coastline, a mountaintop at sunrise, or a corner of the world I’ve never even heard of yet: bring it on. Some of the most unforgettable weddings happen in places that make you a little nervous and a lot alive. If your plans feel bold, a little wild, or totally one of a kind, I want to be the one standing beside you to capture it.
