About
I create immersive wedding photos that let you feel the day all over again. Real emotion, real movement—refined with an elevated, editorial finish so your gallery feels alive and effortlessly magazine-worthy.
Experience & Approach
MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER - YOUR WEDDING BESTIE
My love story with photography started in a high school darkroom, developing black-and-white film by hand. That spark led me to earn a BFA in Photography—plus a little adventure studying in Italy and France.
Before diving into weddings, I cut my teeth behind the scenes on big-brand productions with names like Barbie, Coca-Cola, and Warner Media. It was high-pressure, fast-paced, and all about perfection. That world taught me to adapt quickly, pay attention to the smallest details, and stay calm under pressure—all things I now bring to your wedding day.
My approach? Calm, intuitive, and story-driven. Never stiff. Never forced. You don’t need to worry about what to do with your hands—I’ll guide you naturally and gently so you can just enjoy the moment. My style? A refined editorial touch shaped by my commercial experience, brought into every photo I create.
I’m not just here to take pretty pictures. I’m here to make you feel confident, cared for, and completely yourself. Your photos should feel like stepping back into the heartbeat of your wedding day—not just another gallery of images.

Let's get personal
When I'm not taking photos...
You can find me playing soccer, going hiking with my husband, or working on my card game (yes, I'm making a game!!!)
MY favorite things....
An iced oat milk latte with honey, a glass of port wine while watching a movie, true crime podcasts, traveling & CATS (I have two)!
Where i'm from...
I was born in Georgia, then moved to Chicago (my favorite city... other than Porto!) after college. I met my husband (who is an EOD tech in the Navy) and then moved to San Diego to be with him (we did long distance for 2 years)!
Why weddings...
Photographing people in love is my thing. And being surrounded by happy people on weddings is literally SO MUCH FUN.
