I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how powerful it is to stay connected to the present moment. Especially in a world that is now so oversaturated with “content” and AI generated worlds.

There is a huge difference between creating for content sake and creating with your whole heart. To me, wedding photography invites me to really see others and make space for who they truly are. Through that mutual trust, I’m able to create work that will last generations.

I always strive to make work that will be treasured throughout time, and that’s why I take extra care to document your day in a way that feels the most honest. I love using creative mediums like film to anchor me back to an analog process, and am always scanning to find those little moments that will tell your true story.

That was the case for Chloe & Alex’s beautiful day. Our time together was short and sweet, but through our time, we really captured the essence of their love for each other and their families.

More photos from C + A and their story can be found on the blog ✨

Forever pinching myself that I get to create with such incredible people 💫

Finally posting some gems from J + T’s sweet sweet wedding back in March! Everything about this day was full of joy, from Jenny wearing her mother’s dress down the aisle to Taco Bell at the end of the night. Will never forget these memories.

This is why I don’t ask for shot lists ✨

Because your wedding day is already full of stories and moments that are meant to be preserved!

It’s most important to me that you live every moment to your fullest and have that honesty reflected back to you 💞

There’s so much beauty in how every couple expresses their love 🤍

I’m endlessly inspired by the way no two stories unfold alike. It’s their unique energy, people, places, and sentimentality that make it truly come to life.

These are just a few glimpses of what your wedding moments can feel like, honest, layered, and completely yours!
