When it comes to photography, I live to document. I want to create imagery of your day as it happened, curating memories that are both artistic and authentic. I want to see your tears, your laughs, the hugs you give your grandparents after you say “I do”. These in between moments cannot be scripted, and I don’t want it to be that way. My style is true to color with a hint of warmth, and always timeless; photos that are always vulnerable, candid, and tell a story. I'm in this to tell YOUR story. I believe YOU have so much to offer this world. Your love story and legacy is so worthy of being told. Let me tell it.
Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful moments of your life, and it deserves to be remembered with the same love and care you’ve poured into it. My approach blends the artistry of film with the precision of digital photography to create a balanced, timeless narrative of your day. Film brings a nostalgic warmth and depth, while digital provides structure and clarity, allowing me to capture both the spontaneous moments and the carefully composed portraits. I show up as a quiet observer, but I also step in to offer guidance where direction is needed, ensuring that your day flows naturally while still capturing the beauty and emotion of each moment. My goal is to document your story with a perfect mix of authenticity and artistry, providing you with images that feel both timeless and perfectly crafted.
After our formal introductions, Popo looked me in the eye and said,
"Let me introduce you to my bride."
He walked over to the mantle in his home and took down a 72-year-old wedding photo of him and his beautiful wife. In their smiles, I saw a lifetime of joy, laughter, and an enduring legacy. Though I would never meet his beloved Edna in this lifetime, that photo welcomed me into their family. Through the legacy she left behind in photographs, I came to know and admire a mother, grandmother, and friend.
This is what photography is all about. Edna’s inviting spirit, immortalized through images, is what I think of every time I press the shutter and load the film. These are the moments that will connect you to your future generations. It’s an honor to capture the love and legacy of your life, knowing that these photographs will continue to tell your story for years to come.
