I want you to have a wedding that feels like you and photographs that let you feel it all over again. 💗

Some of my favorite moments from Rachel and Drew’s May wedding. In the last photo, I caught Rach sprinting back to her reception. The DJ started playing Pink Pony Club and she couldn’t miss it. 💃🏻🎶

Not every photo in your gallery is going to be the one you frame above the fireplace, the one that looks like it belongs on Pinterest, or the one that gets the most likes on this stupid app. Thank GOD for that. 🙌🏻😏

If every image is perfectly composed, when do you actually get to live your wedding day? My job isn’t to manufacture moments that look beautiful. It’s to notice the beautiful moments that are already happening. That’s documenting. 😊

If I have to choose between 1️⃣ spending all day chasing trends and making every photo look “aesthetic” or 2️⃣ chasing the way you laugh and the way your people love you, I’ll pick the second one every.single.time.

So throw your head back and bring on the double chins. Show me your teeth and laugh with your whole face. Dance barefoot to Love Story with your best friends. Shove too much cake in your mouth. Hug your people a little longer than usual. 💓

Will every photo in your gallery be a jaw-dropping showstopper? Nope. (Don’t worry; you’ll have plenty of those, too. 😉)

But I have a feeling the photos you’ll come back to twenty years from now will be the ones that remind you exactly how it /felt/ to be there. That’s the kind of magic I’ll chase every single time. ✨

13 weddings, 1 photographer. 📸💍

I’ve been photographing weddings for over five years and I can tell you that no two wedding days are ever the same. Every wedding is different because the two people at the center of it all are different.

The best weddings aren’t the ones that look like everyone else’s. They’re the ones that feel like you. 💗

My husband always says I live too much in the past, and he’s not wrong. I’ve always loved revisiting old things: photos, journal entries, younger versions of myself. With my first wedding of the season kicking off tomorrow, I am feeling especially sappy and nostalgic! 🥲

I shot this wedding in 2021, my first year in business, back when I was honestly just trying not to black out from nerves and shocked that I was doing the thing!! But even then, I knew I cared less about perfection and more about presence and the moments that make a wedding feel deeply yours.

My work has grown and changed, but that part has always been there. 💖

So, here’s to another season of telling love stories that feel honest, and remembering why I fell in love with this work in the first place. Let’s do this, 2026. 🥰✨

Family sessions have rapidly become such a big part of my off-season, and I’m so grateful for every bit of it. It is such a gift to keep telling stories long after wedding day. 🥰

I met Claire at a wedding reception. I was standing on the edges of the dance floor, waiting for the first dance to begin, when she approached me and asked, “Do you shoot senior sessions?” I was like 🙂‍↕️ yes yes yes. Have so much fun at OSU girly!!! ❤️

The best wedding days aren’t about perfection.
They’re about how they feel. 💖
