Kind words I cherish: "...Her professionalism and ability to gel with all personalities adds to the joy of the day. She balances her perspectives throughout the event capturing the big moments and the candid moments. I have been a professional photographer since 2005 and hiring someone I could trust with my vision was a big decision and I could not have chosen a better person...."
CASUAL LUXURY, LOOSE EDITORIAL, AND STRESS-FREE DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Based in Phoenix, Arizona, I’m a luxury wedding photographer that couples have counted on to capture both grand, "on-the-shot-list" moments, and the quiet, candid ones since 2015.
If you see yourself as eclectic, editorial obsessed (or maybe just curious), and overall timeless, I’m your gal. I love getting creative and a little funky, while always keeping my roots in documentary, truth-telling.
I’m a kindred spirit with those who are eclectic and playful at heart. We value elegance and the little details that feel luxurious, while still embracing an easygoing energy. That lived-in feeling is what sets approachable luxury apart.
My clients want images to look back on that reflect the fullness of their personalities, from Vogue inspired editorial portraits to candid, fly-on-the-wall moments, seen through multiple editing styles that bring each collection its own unique look.
We'll create an actually authentic shared language to define words like 'editorial wedding photography' and 'documentary style approach'.
THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE COUPLE THAT DOESN’T WANT A “WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER”.
My experience didn’t begin with florals, tuxedos, and white gowns— it started with documenting everything (literally, you name it), paired with years of technical education.
The wedding world can feel overwhelming for newcomers. Vendors, styles, decisions: what do all these words really mean? Often a hundred different things to a hundred different people.
I fell into weddings on accident over 10 years ago, and one of the first things I do with couples is create a shared language. That way, I can understand your priorities and preserve your memories with clarity.
When it comes to my art, I’m after timeless, authentic storytelling, not clichés. I offer customizable editing styles and techniques, all rooted in a documentary approach. My goal is genuine images that feel real and remain timeless.10, 20, or 50 years from now.
You’re an endlessly dimensional human being; even more so as
a couple. So why should your photos be... just one note?
YOU WERE UNIQUELY CREATED — 1 OF 1 AMONG 8.2 BILLION. YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS SHOULD BE CUSTOM TO MATCH.
Couples come to me for more than just photos. They want someone who sees things from multiple perspectives, and the competence to capture them earnestly. With a background in design and creative marketing, I bring years of multi-disciplinary experience that helps me do just that.
I love mixing in medium format analog film, and 35mm film because it brings out moods, textures, and emotions that digital can’t always catch. I also create custom color profiles based on the shared language that we create, so couples really get what they expect from our consult calls.
Every couple values customization, but they also trust me to run with creative freedom; switching up styles and edits so their entire collection feels cohesive, but fully true to who they are, not just one-note.
Featured Work
PHOTOGRAPHED ON DIGITAL, 35MM, AND MEDIUM FORMAT FILM
Inspired by eclectic love and honest moments, I photograph the intersection of artistry and identity. My work is both editorial and authentic: reflecting life as it truly feels. While the traditional world of luxury wedding photography can feel too stiff, I bring a casual, loose editorial approach mixed with my documentary background to create an experience that’s as unique as the people I photograph.
