Whether you envision capturing your engagement in a nostalgic setting, hosting your dream wedding by the ocean, or documenting the growth of your family, I'm here to capture all of life’s special moments. With a focus on creating images that exceed your expectations, I ensure your moments are beautifully preserved to reflect your unique story.
My clients value the legacy of photography. Photography that, when they pull their wedding album out on their 50th anniversary, still feels distinctly like who they are.
They delight in the moments captured genuinely and without too much direction.
Their family and friends being part of their wedding is just as important as marrying their best friend.

Wedding photography runs deep in my veins. I’ve been documenting weddings across the midwest since 2005. Always a lover of love stories, your wedding is the beginning of your legacy. Images that tell a story of your love for one another for generations to be inspired by.

AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL UPON REQUEST
Although I don’t require my clients to book an engagement session, I do think that it’s an invaluable part of the process in getting to know one another. Whether you are scheduling a session for your ‘save the dates’, getting familiar with me and my camera or you’re holding out for an epic anniversary session, my portraits are designed to compliment the vision of your wedding while being true to your relationship.
Telling your unique love story is one of the greatest honors I will experience in my career. And, I take that seriously. You aren’t just another couple to me. Your story is important and it should be told with great care and finessed all the way to the completion of your album.
I am Story driven
Once you’ve booked with me, I will send you a meticulously written 100+ page bridal guide that will help guide you through the events of your day to flawlessly plan the wedding of your dreams.
Your Experience Isn’t
Exclusive to the Wedding Day
Although I am the one holding the camera, I want to become an extension of you so that on your wedding day, you can enjoy it and know your vision is safe with me and my camera.
Your Day Is Not About Me
Our final call will be a month before your wedding day and is meant to be an intensive call to really nail down your vision and make sure I understand everything you’ve planned.
I like to jump on a call at least 4-6 months before your wedding day to check in and make sure you are on track with the planning process and see how that affects your photography timeline.
Once you’ve signed a contract and paid your retainer, you’ll receive my highly sought after Bridal Guide that walks you through the wedding day from a photography point of view.
Once you’ve inquired and I’ve confirmed my availability for your wedding weekend, we’ll schedule a Discovery Call to make sure I’m a good fit for your day.
