What sets me apart from other photographers is my commitment to documenting real emotion. Colorful bouquets and perfectly styled invitations are beautiful, but the things that matter the most in 10 years aren't those details. The things that will still bring tears to your eyes and a smile to your face are the photos of real people, your people. That's what I love to shoot.

ALSO, I WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HANDS!

so special?

what makes me

all the feelings!

I’m so excited you’re considering me as your wedding photographer! I want you to have wedding photos that are not only beautiful, but genuine as well.

My goal is to bring a fun, familiar presence to your wedding day so that you’re comfortable expressing


I grew up in San Diego, California with this very fashionable Dorothy Hamill haircut. I moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly where I grew out my hair and got my first camera. After graduating with a degree in International Business, I realized my passion wasn't found in an office; so in 2011 I quit my day job and began shooting weddings.  And I freaking love it. 

I’m happily married with two funny boys and a dog. We’re one very blonde family. We enjoy playing Super Nintendo and riding bikes and basically doing all the things I did when I was growing up in the 80’s, I mean 90’s. I’m very young and hip. And clearly still have a thing for paisley.
