“Above all, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” - Colossians 3:14

Every wedding ceremony is unique and beautiful in its own way, but there is something especially moving about witnessing the Sacrament of Marriage celebrated during a Nuptial Mass. The reverence, the prayers, the sacred promises, and the reminder that this covenant is not just between a husband and wife, but with God at the very center - it never fails to bring me to tears.

What an incredible privilege it is to document moments that are both deeply joyful and eternally meaningful. Blessings upon blessings. 🤍✨

Welcome to the flock sweet Kora 🐓✨

Five years ago I sat in the grass of a local park with Kayla after taking a few photos of Blake for his first birthday, our first time really reconnecting since growing up together in school. We got right to the thick of life in discussion like no time had passed since seventh grade; I think even a few tears were shed. She let me into her world of motherhood, the highs and lows, and I did my best to just listen but probably offered more thoughts and advice than a more humble listener would’ve. More importantly, I tried to see her where she was at and meet her there. I tried to let our time together be less about the photos and more about what milestone the photos were celebrating - her surviving the experience that is surrendering yourself to motherhood in the most glorious, humbling, painful, and beautiful ways possible for a little boy she would go to the ends of the world to protect.

I’ve gotten to see her grow + heal in ways neither one of us could’ve imagined. I’ve sat in the grass with her and the kids year after year as her and Kevin bring more bundles of love and big personalities into the world. Something about Kayla gets softer yet fiercer with each child she has, like she feels more at home in the world every time she meets another piece of herself here that she was always meant to nurture and protect. She gives her kids the freedom to explore, get dirty, and let their imaginations and personalities run wild, while also making sure they are kind + loving all the same.

This is what it’s all about for me. Not just documenting your story, but being as much a part of it as you’ll allow me to be. The heart-grabbing photos that will bring you back to the good old days are often found on the inside of an intimate conversation on a summer evening while sitting in the grass.

(Also - happy birthday Kayla. You are so loved and we already know this will be your best decade yet.)

Ellie is the kind of bride whose presence has felt like a warm hug throughout the whole process so far - every interaction with her has been so genuine, so positive, and so aligned. She’s the kind of bride that makes me think, “It’s okay if I’m not for everyone - as long as I’m for someone - the right ones”.

Wedding photography is so personal, so timeless, so irreplaceable; it isn’t a decision you should make lightly or without confidence. You should be looking not just at the art and finished product, but at the artist themselves and how they make you feel in their presence.

I love working weddings now because I feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be - that I’m witnessing these moments play out because of a divine alignment that turned into an assignment. I’m just grateful to be invited in, to let your love stories become my collective muse.

Can we get some photos that are artsy and blurry? YAS
Can we do some by the lake, super casual? YAS
Can we get them all in black + white? YAS
Can we bring a change of clothes? YAS
Can we jump into the water at the end? YAS
Can we recreate our first date? YAS
Can we do some cringey awkward ones for fun? YAS
Can we bring our dog? YAS
Can we bring a cake and champagne? YAS
Can we do it at our house, cozy vibes? YAS
Can we go over the top fancy for one outfit? YAS
Can we do some at our fav bar or restaurant? YAS
Can we…? YAS

It’s YOUR engagement session, I’m just the observer with an affinity for capturing it. The answer will almost always be a hard YASSSSSSS 👏🏼

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again - your engagement session should feel like a date nightttttt. If you don’t leave it thinking “wow that was actually fun” then I simply did not do my job to my fullest extent.

Give me the dive bar, the clinking glasses, the terrible pool skills, the inside jokes I’m not in on yet, and the kind of laughter that makes you forget there’s even a camera around.

Because the magic found in the ordinary isn’t from the perfectly posed photos - it’s in you two being fully yourselves together while I just kinda tell you where to put your body at the time.

Your story deserves to be captured the way it actually feels… a little messy, a little loud, and a whole lot of fun.

So yeah, let’s make it a date night. I’ll just third-wheel with a camera, it’s sort of my specialty.

I got to hug so many people I know + love this weekend all because of this business of mine that started as just a little side gig ten years ago. It’s a blessing I’ll never quite comprehend - being able to turn my excitement for witnessing and capturing humans love one another into a whole business that sustains me. It’s the kind of blessing that could only have been orchestrated by a good + faithful God.

I love meeting new faces every year in studio, out in the wild, and on the many dance floors I partake in. But I also deeply adore the fact that this job brings me back to some of my favorite people every year, or back into the orbit of people I haven’t seen in many years. Witnessing your families, your love stories, your milestones, your journeys…it’s my favorite part. My camera is really just a tool I get to use to bridge my heart to yours, and the art we get to make along the way is a timeless + priceless product of us spending time together.

Thank you, for letting me witness you in this lifetime + freeze your memories in time forever. It’s truly the joy of my life.

This wedding day started with a fun twist of events - me and the lead photographer I was seconding for .photo hopping into our cars and tracking down the party bus that had broken down on the side of a country road to save the wedding party and keep the timeline rolling as planned! Photographers are not just artists on your wedding day - we are also planners, problem solvers, therapists, decision makers, chauffeurs, and most importantly your friend. We are there to make the magic happen just as much as we are there to capture it, which is why choosing a photographer that feels just right for you on the biggest day of your life is SO important.

It’s the coldest week of the year and I’m over here dreaming about the hottest wedding day I’ve ever worked back in August with the DeGroots 🥵

We rocked out portraits in between plenty of AC + water breaks and the bridal party kept the vibes as high as the temps were. There was also so many poignant moments throughout the day as Hannah did first looks with her dad and brother, Matt danced with his mama, and Hannah brought out her mom’s veil for party time. It’s so, so special to witness to families blending together with such obvious love for one another.

I’m soooooo ready for these summer parties to start again!

second shot for .photo with —> working with my besties is such a blessing too

More sessions this year that simply feel like a fun play date with that weird Ms. Megan girl please!! Running around with your littles is truly the joy of my life and makes the whole experience more of a fun memory and less of an annual task.
