EST. 2017

Your wedding deserves to be experienced fully—not performed for the camera.

I photograph with an observant, documentary approach, paying attention to the people, atmosphere, design, movement, and fleeting interactions that give a celebration its character. When direction is useful, I’ll offer it with intention. When the moment is already happening exactly as it should, I leave it alone.

The result is a body of photographs that holds both sides of the day: the beauty you thoughtfully created and the moments you never could have planned.

No two celebrations should look or feel the same.

From intimate vows and candlelit dinners to black-tie receptions and weekends abroad, I approach every wedding with curiosity rather than a formula—creating photographs shaped by the people, place, design, and energy in front of me.

THE BEAUTY OF SOMETHING IMPERFECT

Film has a way of distilling a moment down to what matters.

The grain, movement, softness, unexpected light leaks and tiny imperfections give it a quality that feels less like documentation and more like memory. I incorporate 35mm and medium-format film alongside digital photography, allowing each medium to do what it does best.

For couples who want to experience their wedding in motion, Super 8 brings another layer entirely: fleeting glances, voices, movement, laughter and all the beautiful in-between.
