Capturing Intimate Moments and Micro Weddings My take on this industry and my role, is very simple; authenticity is *key*.

Not one client, session or photographer is alike and that is what makes this such a beautiful and authentic experience! We live in a world that commercializes "big" moments, where you might feel that those "bigger" achievements are the only things to celebrate. Wrong, my friend. As someone who has experienced much loss and tragedy in a very short period of time, I can confidently say that the smal

l, intimate, in-between moments that pass quickly; those are also moments worth celebrating and photographing. I wish, for some of my life's smallest moments, I had a photograph to look back on and reflect on how pivotal those moments were and how they helped shape who I am to this day. These intimate interactions are the things that remind us of maybe an important milestone you achieved in your personal life. Maybe they remind you of a meaningful, raw conversation you had with your partner, which resulted in an even deeper connection than before. What about the simple idea of just setting aside a couple hours one day, designated to being fully present with your partner, being yourselves and celebrating where you are, right in that very moment? Do you see now?? There is no better reason, big or small, to choose to celebrate life and your relationship. Make it a point to book a session that allows you to feel like you're the main characters in your favorite Indie film or 1940's romance movie. I am here for it, here for you and will always encourage you to celebrate yourself! You deserve it.

A proposal, at sunrise, for two of the brightest souls I’ve met. And that’s coming from spending only a couple of hours with them.

Jules proposed to Gabi during the most beautiful sunrise, one quiet morning. Just the two of them on the beach, plus the incognito third wheel who is myself, watching the world wake up while they promised forever. This was such an incredible experience and such a privilege to witness.

You both have my whole entire heart, always 🖤

Madison + Lukas, surrounded by things with a little history and a whole lot of intention.

Their wedding day at HollyHedge Estate filled with collected antiques, handcrafted details, old-world textures and personal touches that made every corner feel distinctly theirs. Nothing for the sake of tradition; just a day thoughtfully built around the two of them.

Kat + Pat got married in the town where Kat grew up, surrounded by only their closest people. 🤍

No big production, no getting lost in the expectations of what a wedding day should look like; just the two of them, their people, and a day that felt entirely their own. They stayed present, kept each other at the center of it all, and soaked up every damn minute.

And obviously, ended the night with ice cream. As one should.

Emily + Tanner spent their wedding day exactly where they wanted to be; side by side. 🤍

From the quiet moments by the lake to being completely wrapped up in each other all night, their day felt intentional, easy, and entirely them. The kind of wedding that reminds you the whole point is simply getting to be with your person.

Brooke and Stephen’s engagement session felt like an afternoon out of a novel. Quiet moments, contagious laughter, forehead kisses, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need to be posed.
