Q&A

Connect with this vendor by getting to know them beyond their work.

Couples hire you because…

While I love being creative and making timeless images, I also really care about my couples and want them to feel INCREDIBLE. By making folks comfortable and confident, we get the best photos possible. Personally, I hate having my photo taken, so I work really hard to insure everyone in front of my camera has a good time.

Is there a wedding destination or type that’s on your bucket list right now?

Tokyo! Patigonia! Ireland! Bankok! Prague! Amsterdam! Narnia!! I'm up for any adventure, but these are the first that come to mind

What is your specialty or personal style?

I love color and film, as well as strong composition with some whimsy and sparkle. On a wedding day, I want to stay out of the way enough to let you do your thing, but I'll definitely step in with suggestions for lighting and such. When it comes times for portraits, I give a lot of direction and want to create a space where we can really high light the connection between the two of you.
