Ashley & Ross 🌿🦢🥂

Two words that perfectly describe Ashley & Ross’s wedding day: joyful and meaningful. 🤍

From the love they share to the way they celebrated alongside the people who mean the most to them, every moment felt so genuine and full of joy. Their beautiful day at the Art Center was such an honor to be a part of, and I feel so grateful I got to capture this chapter of their story. 🥂🕊️🎞️

Some of my favorite images from a wedding day are the ones that were never on the shot list. 🤍

The moments we didn’t plan for. The little in-between glances. The unexpected laughter. The quiet moments happening while everyone else is focused on the next thing. 🥂

A mix of digital & film!

One of the greatest compliments is hearing that my couples feel lucky to have me as their photographer… because truly, the feeling is always mutual. 🥹🤍

In honor of Kylee + Ramsey’s one-year anniversary, I pulled four photos from each part of their day.🤍

From the getting ready moments, to their ceremony, portraits, and all the celebrating in between, a little look at their day from start to finish.

How special to get to relive an entire wedding day through photographs one year later.

Happy one year, Kylee + Ramsey! I’m so grateful I got to be there to capture it all. 💫

You see a wedding day. I see your story happening inside of it!

what you see: A bride showing her girls her dress.
what I see: The people who have been cheering her on long before today.

what you see: Me taking portraits.
what I see: A moment where she feels completely beautiful.

what you see: Me taking your photos.
what I see: The photo you’ll love years from now.

what you see: A hug.
what I see: A moment she’ll wish she could relive exactly as it happened.

what you see: A moment happening.
what I see: Two people completely forgetting I’m even there.

what you see: Me taking pictures of a table.
what I see: All the little pieces you chose because they felt like you.

That’s the difference between simply taking photos and paying attention!!! 🤍

Emily & Jack PART 2 🌿💫

You’ll actually like having me around!!! Promise! 😂

Your photographer is with you for a LOT of your wedding day, right?

So I think liking your photographer is kind of important. 🙃

I want you to feel comfortable enough to laugh with me, trust me, ask me questions, hand me your phone when you have no idea where you put it, and eventually forget I’m even holding a camera.

The goal?

By the end of the day, it shouldn’t feel like you hired a photographer.

It should feel like you had someone in your corner.

I’m that girl!!! 🤍

The dress, the flowers, the perfectly planned details, they’re all part of your wedding day. But they’re not what I’m really there to photograph.

I’m there for the deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your people. The laugh you didn’t know was coming. The way you look at each other when no one is watching. The little moments that somehow become the ones you remember most.

And to capture those moments, you need more than a photographer. You need someone you trust.

I’m your calm in the chaos, your built-in hype girl, your guide when you need direction, and your best-friend energy when you just need to relax and enjoy your day.

My goal is simple: to create an experience where you feel completely taken care of.

Because when you trust your photographer, you get to stop worrying about the photos and actually live your wedding day. ☁️🦢🥂💍
