Soulfully capturing Modern stories of lovers in love
If you're here, you're looking for the one. In a sea of photographers looking to build their portfolio and create content for the gram, my top priority is making your wedding photo dreams come true, and creating art together that authentically tells the story of your love.
I've been serving couples as a wedding vendor for over 13 years and many of them have become dear friends. I care about what you care about, and make it my mission to make you feel at ease and excited on your wedding day.
2025 BOOKS ARE OPEN FOR INTIMATE WEDDINGS, ELOPEMENTS & DESTINATION WEDDINGS.
You are a laid back (but kind of boujie) couple that dreams about flipping through your wedding album 20 years from now, each photo triggering a beautiful memory of the best day of your lives. You see genuine laughter and closeness in every photo, scenic images of your dream wedding dress cascading the natural terrain, your love of the outdoors and each other being sparked all over again. Time has gone by but looking at your photos makes it feel like it hasn't. You're so happy that you did everything your way, made your own rules, had an intimate ceremony with a handful of your closest people, put a modern twist on old traditions, and had a photographer who captured it all.
Are we a match?
I'm here to help you plan, pose, and preserve the moments that are most special to you.
Candid Photos / True to Color / With a Touch of Mood
My editing style is timeless and a little moody. Being that most of my couples are wanting a good chunk of their portraits to be in the lush woods of the Upper Peninsula or on the shores of Lake Superior, I shoot and edit prioritizing natural tones. Greens are green, blues are blue and the black and white images have a touch of grain for the nostalgia factor.
As far as image composition, you can expect a mix of editorial portraits and candid moments, both cropped and super wide to set the scene. Ultimately what matters most is that we connect and understand each other, and you trust my team to tell your story in a way that feels authentic to you, and you absolutely love your images.

I started my photography career back in 2010 and have captured hundreds of stories over the years. I found my true passion in intimate weddings and elopements in 2016 when I rode in a chairlift to the top of a mountain to document a small ceremony in the company of 50 of their closest family and friends, their dogs, and an aged bottle of scotch that acted as a unity candle.
A fire lit inside of me and I thought “This is how it should be." Every single detail was so them. They threw the rulebook and traditions out the window and in turn, got to talk to every single guest, had plenty of time for photos and adventuring, their dogs got to be a part of the ceremony and they were so relaxed. Actual wedded bliss.”
And from that moment, I wanted that actual wedded bliss for all of the couples I work with. The best part? I am still friends with that couple to this day! And if you work with me, we will become friends, too.
